Frequently Asked Questions
Enterline and Partners is run by licensed U.S. attorneys.
The difference between the two is enormous. An immigration attorney is a licensed professional who is regulated by a Bar Association. An attorney has also graduated from law school and has passed a legal licensing examination and is required to follow a very strict code of ethics so as to best represent their clients. An immigration consultant or agent is unlicensed and is not bound by the same rules of professional responsibility as an attorney. Furthermore, because attorney’s are regulated by their Bar Association, they have a standard to follow which provides clients with protection should an issue arise.
Enterline and Partners handles a wide range of family, business, investment and educational immigration cases.
Professional fees will depend on the complexity of your case. The fees will be discussed during the consultation session.
As licensed attorneys, we are unable to guarantee you any results. The only thing we can guarantee is that we will work hard and do our very best in representing you in your case.
Nobody has any connections or a special relationship with consular officers inside the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. A person who alleges that they have connections or a special relationship with consular officers is most likely not telling the truth in order to gain your trust.

Dear Mr. David Enterline,
I still remember the day we met in April 2018 at Saigon Sofitel through another U.S. attorney – Ms. Irene’s introduction. That was my first meeting with an American lawyer, so I had a lot on my mind, but with the experience of a businessman like me together with my personal feelings, along with your expression, I truly trust you right from the start. I would not have been able to solve my problems without that initial trust, and to this day I have always trusted you with the work you helped me with.
David, you are a good and ethical lawyer, I will always tell the people I know that I will refer you to them when they need your help.
