I have known Jeremy Lasnetski for over a decade as a fellow immigration attorney. I have known John Gihon almost as long - but mostly as my opponent in immigration court. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Mr. Lasnetski and Mr. Gihon. They are both excellent, ethical, honest and hardworking attorneys.

Mr. Gihon is one of a handful of deportation defense attorneys who was previously on the other side - i.e, representing the government. Having sat across from Mr. Gihon many times when he represented the government in immigration court, I can confidently say any immigrant who is wrongly facing deportation or who has any semblance of a defense, could not hope for a better lawyer to be on their side. Mr. Gihon is very well regarded among immigration officials. He is a gifted trial attorney. His nickname is “Walking Encyclopedia” because of his remarkable recall. Florida is very fortunate to have a lawyer like Mr. Gihon available to defend immigrants. I know the government would have much preferred Mr. Gihon to be an immigration judge rather than a private defender.

Mr. Shorstein was the former County Attorney and Mr. Lasnetski, like me, was a Prosecutor. This is a powerhouse law firm with a stellar reputation. If you are fortunate enough to be accepted by them as a client, be a good client. Excellent attorneys like Jeremy Lasnetski and John Gihon can pick and choose their cases. If you want the best from any attorney, it is crucially important that you maintain a respectful relationship with the person into whose hands you have placed your and your family’s future.

If a client comes to me looking to replace Mr. Lasnetski or Mr. Gihon, I will not even offer them a second opinion because I know the client is already exceptionally well represented.

Be aware that the business model of too many immigration lawyers these days is to get their clients deported as quickly as possible. I have even seen judges file bar complaints before a lawyer is even finished. I have seen and heard lawyers throwing their clients under the bus in immigration court (when the client doesn’t speak English). There are “5 Star” lawyers who take astoundingly irresponsible shortcuts knowing it might be years before those shortcuts negatively impact the immigrant. You do not want an attorney who files an application in 24 hours (which IMO is insanity) or who overpromises and under-delivers. You want a lawyer who tells you the truth and who will effectively fight for you, not with bluster and false promises, but with a keen intellect, experience and ability. And you want your attorney to prevail while preserving your long term interests.

Finally, take these google reviews with a grain of salt. Any lawyer with any ethics whatsoever has made plenty of people mad enough to leave a false review - that includes our own colleagues and clients we refuse to represent. It is preposterous to think there is even a single lawyer who is “5 star perfect.” Common sense, people.

Yesterday I had a consultation regarding an immigration issue. I met with the lawyer on time, I didn’t have to wait on him, he answered all of the questions I had. What I appreciated the most was how candid he was. This law firm is not into charging bogus fees. Take it from me, if you have any case and you want a good outcome , you’ll be a fool not to hire them to represent you.

Paul and Harry treat you as if you were their only client. They respond to your questions quickly and completely. Their character, knowledge ,experience and attention to detail is second to none! You will not find a better team out there.

I was looking for a second opinion on my Husband’s case and i was told “ He Doesn’t like to provide second opinions if we have a lawyer already! Never even got a consultation! They seems friendly though! if you are looking for a second opinion, he will not give it to you!

Best law firm, great reputation. Specially John Gihon, who is Knowledgeable and experienced attorney who cares about his clients and will do all the effort to take care of them. Mr Gihon is Intelligent and he explains everything for you the way that you understand and anytime you need him you’ll be there for you. He is Very educated, highly recommend him. The only immigration attorney that i trust.

Very experienced law firm. They are not money minded. They care first about the success of your case. They are super fast to respond to emails and are very welcoming. I give them 5 star.

As I had an issue with immigration ,Mr. John Gihon did help me to get resolved my problem with his expertise,professionalism and knowledge of immigration law to its best, ,me and my family are very thankful for his help and kindness. Thannk you so much Mr.jhon for your hard work and patience. This was truely a great deal for us. We believe he will be one next to us for any immigration case in future.

If you need legal help, this is the place to go, they'll have your back, get you on the right track and on your way. I recommend them!

The entire staff made my husband & I feel completely comfortable & answered any questions & concerns we had each step of the way. They were right there with us during the entire process & made it a lot less scary & stressful than it could have been.

They are an awesome group of people who know what they're doing, do their job very well & efficiently, genuinely care about their clients & make you feel right at home with every visit.

We've already referred them to our brother & sister-in-law, & would absolutely refer anyone else who has any type of similar need.

We couldn't have made it through the process of my husband's residency without them, & we'll definitely be using them when the time comes for his citizenship!

John Gihon has got to be the best immigration attorney alive!!! No exaggeration!!! Before ICE picked be up for a mistake I made when I was 18 I went to 6 immigration attorneys around Florida including NEjame law and they all told me I will get deported. John took my case when ICE picked me up and called me the 2nd they had me and told me he took my case because he knew he could win. He told be at the beginning that if he didn’t believe he could win he would not take my case or any other case for that matter. I had one of the toughest immigration judges and a very hard case to fight because of my criminal charge. He managed to get me my green card and out of ICE jail in under 4 months, which I was told previously by multiple immigration attorneys was literally impossible. He kept me and my family very very updated with my case and called me bi weekly when I was in detention to keep me updated. His secretary and paralegal did a phenomenal job as well as him. He literally made it feel as if he was fighting a case for his own family member. His office and him are unbelievably professional at what they do and how they make you feel. He is worth every penny he asks you for and nothing less. This is the kind of attorney you want next to you in court when you are fighting for your life to stay here. I highly highly recommend mr. Gihon for any immigration issue you may have. He is very straight forward and will let you know the truth even if it’s not what you want to hear. If you, a family member or friend have any kind of immigration issue I recommend you have a consultation with mr. Gihon before anyone else!!! He knows what he’s doing and just happens to be amazing at it his job!! Definitely recommend him!! And they work very well with you on making payments!! Once again highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed I guarantee that.

I live in V.A and needed an attorney in Jacksonville F.L. I found this law firm on the internet. Paul took my case and got it resolved and I never had to leave V.A. He kept me updated each time he represented me in court. He never left me wondering. I would recommend this law firm to anyone who has a case in Jacksonville. I give the service I received a +10. Thank you

Excellent communication great follow up and very knowledgeable AA+

I called for a consultation and the secretary was very rude and incompetent. beware!

Jeremy lasnetski is a scammer.
He charges innocent clients high prices for nothing. They take advantage of your anxiety. This firm is a joke.They have a picture of state attorney on the wall and family pictures to cheat and convince you. Their only aim is to grab your money.
My warn is to make comparisons before you pay them. In big cities, 80% of attorneys are scammers or of poor abilities. This firm is one of them.
Btw, many of the comments below are fake like fake news.

Just very rude didn't even want to great the facts of the case before telling me he can't help. Attorneys like this make it hard to put your trust in.

first of all, everyday I wake up I see my son and my husband in the house I’m so happy, this is what SLG did for me: help me stay here in the us with my family. mr. Gihon was really excellent with us. immigration only gives me 30 days to leave the country So God sent me to Gihon and he used him he made everything possible he did everything he could and today I have my green card because of him and I would definitely recommended this law firm they pretty good in everything. the one thing I love about mr. Gihon is that he won’t take your money for something that won’t work that’s for sure if he says yes, believe in him because he knows what he’s doing. Since I met them everyone I know that has problems I always tell them how great SLG are all law firms aren't the same best one ever

In the end he got the job done. I only had to be in court once. Thanks

Great Attorneys, professional and knowledgeable plus a friendly helpful staff. Would definitely use this firm again.

Mr. Gihon and his staff were amazing! Before he takes your case he reviews and explains exactly how he can help you.From the first call till weeks after my case was finished. They answered all my wife's and my questions. Answered emails very quickly even in the evenings. Makes you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. I will recommend him to everyone! Other attorney's are out here promising you something they can't do. Thank you Mr.Gihon and staff for all your help we truly appreciate all your hard work! 5 ***** stars from us!

Jeremy Lasnetski helped me with my immigration process. He really took his time on my case and explained everything very well! I had a great experience overall! I Strongly recommend this office, everybody is very helpful and professional!

I could not more highly recommend these guys to sort out your problem. They had my best interests at heart, and sought after the best possible outcome for me. I would use them again without hesitation!
Good luck!

Due to the representation of Mr.Lasnetski my case resulted in a favorable outcome which effectively saved my career. Very professional service and most importantly in my opinion excellent communication throughout the entire case.

Paul is very diligent and compassionate when dealing with his clients. I cannot say enough on how great he and his team truly are. I highly recommend this law firm.

Paul and his team are very professional and knowledgeable in all aspect of the justice system. My family and I highly recommend them!

I couldn't be more grateful for Jeremy's efforts!

Jeremy is an extremely talented, educated, hardworking Attorney who deserves great recognition. He fought diligently to prove my case and as expected it paid off. His dedication to me as a client was invaluable. I highly recommend these professionals. Thank you again Jeremy for all you've done!!

Shorstein, Lasnetski & Gihon is a very professional and experienced firm. We have had Paul Shorstein as an attorney for my family two times and both times he was able to accomplish the impossible! I highly recommend this firm to everyone.

I first have to say thank you for taking my case, the results could not have been better! My case began in April 2016 and was dismissed in August 2016. Mr. Lasnetski was able to show that because my charge was out of statute this case should be dismissed. The office made sure I was informed every step of the way and reassured me that it's not over until it's over. My fees were what I would consider as reasonable and I was able to make payments. I received all emails in a very timely manner and all my questions were answered. I was able to eSign documents so I didn't have to be late to or miss work. In the event I need representation again I will absolutely use this firm. I highly recommend this firm! Whatever charge you're facing use a firm that knows the law and gets it done! Use Shorstein, Lasnetski, & Gihon. I wouldn't recommend taking a gamble on anyone else and wasting thousands of dollars! S. Ledbetter
