Customer Reviews
Very helpful and informative
Great resource for staying up to date with immigration the decisions!
Great resource
My busy immigration practice leaves little time for keeping up with court cases. I recently learned of this podcast and find it well worth my time. Love that I can learn from Mr. Gregg and keep up with new developments while commuting, gardening, or out walking. Thank you for doing this!
Great listen for lawyers and non-lawyers alike
Being a lawyer was my first choice when people used to ask what I wanted to be when I grew up, and even though that dream never materialized, I really enjoy listening and learning through this pod. It’s very informative and I love having those “aha!” moments when I start to understand what’s going on. Great job, Kevin!
