Immigration lawyers in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

"We are incredibly grateful for Ray and the work he did on my husband’s case. Our situation was not simple, as my husband had a criminal background, but Ray was knowledgeable, confident, and honest from the very beginning. He helped us file for Adjustment of Status (permanent residency/green card) and guided us through every step of the process. Ray was always polite, respectful, and patient, answering all of our questions and making sure we understood what to expect. His timing, preparation, and attention to detail were excellent. He even attended the interview with us, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thanks to his experience and professionalism, my husband was approved."

"We often want to believe the law is black and white—right or wrong. We assume that public servants within law enforcement agencies and the judicial system will conduct fair, thorough, and unbiased investigations, that our rights will protect us and that justice is a guarantee. Unfortunately, that's not always true. Finding yourself in a legal crisis can be overwhelmingly intimidating, to say the least. The justice system serves a multifaceted role in society, with selected individuals having specific duties and professional obligations, such as police, lawyers, jurors, & judges, and with that comes human error, personal bias, and political agendas. We see injustices every day because people often look for evidence that supports our own beliefs rather than the truth. When the 'system' fails to be objective, you realize how critical it is to have someone on your team who truly understands how to navigate these complexities. Ray is that person. Throughout a grueling two-and-a-half-year battle and a five day jury trial for 3 third degree sexual assault allegations, Ray remained professional, consistent, reliable, deeply committed, and intimately familiar with the nuances of the law. He understands that the truth doesn’t always come to light on its own—you have to fight for it. He navigated the different agencies and entities within the justice umbrella with skill and persistence, eventually securing a Not Guilty verdict on all charges. If you are skeptical of the system and feel like the deck is stacked against you, Ray is highly recommended and well respected. He doesn’t just know the law; he knows how to protect his clients from the flaws within it. My family and I are forever grateful."

"When I first met Ray I had a federal criminal case in Iowa. My first plea offering was 44-51 months. It was a very frightening time and Ray had confidence. I ended up getting just a 6 month sentence and am expected to only do half of that. I am very grateful for the hard work and experience of Ray. Anytime I needed to speak to Ray he always was available for me. Ray is an amazing lawyer and highly recommend."

"We are incredibly thankful that we picked Ray for our Immigration case. Since day one he was very straightforward, honest and extremely knowledgeable. He made a hard and stressful process be as smooth as It can be. Would definitely suggest hiring Ray, as he is the epitome of what you should be looking for in a lawyer. Thank you Ray for your service along our process, for even coming with us to the interview and for all your hard work!"

"I would highly recommend Mr. Sheetz for any legal matter. He helped me tremendously with my case. And has always been there for me anytime I need them. Don’t hesitate to call him! I’m extremely grateful for his help."
