This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Brilliant!

Batya was wonderful in supporting me and my husband through the Greencard process. She was very clear and factual and always willing to discuss every part of the process. She made the whole process, which was incredibly stressful, much easier. Batya was careful and made sure we were prepared for ...every stage. She is very detail focussed, which is so important when it comes to immigration applications. I am so grateful to have had her as my lawyer and could not recommend her more highly.

Great experience

Batya is informative, supportive, and thorough. She pays extra attentions to details and will prepare clients to every possible scenario possible. She is also responsive to clients' questions and needs. Highly recommended.

Excellent Lawyer

My husband and I were so lucky to have Batya represent us for obtaining my Permanent Residence! She was highly recommended to us by a friend and we are glad we chose her. We felt confident with Batya from the very beginning. Our initial phone consultation was extensive and highly informative. She ...gave us a step by step breakdown of our timelines and what to expect. Although we didn’t meet her in person until our mock interview, she was very responsive via email, phone call, or even Skype if you prefer that method. Her responsiveness was beyond appreciated. Most of our correspondence was via email and she usually responds within a few minutes. She is also very organized, detail oriented, and made everything easy to understand. We finally met her when she prepared us for our interview. She was incredibly thorough and was as detailed as possible so that we were prepared for anything! She gave us so much confidence and made us feel comfortable at the same time. Batya is an incredible lawyer. She is very knowledgeable, personable, and easy to talk to. We truly enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to friends and family!

J-1 waiver and Marriage.

Batya she provided great advice and wonderful service. From the time of our first consultation, she was very clear, knowledgable, and honest. I thought my case was straightforward, since I was marrying a US citizen. We even considered handling our case alone after consulting with another attorney (w...ho seemed like a used car salesman). We were hesitant to make an appointment, but decided to try one more consultation after our friend highly recommended that we speak with Batya. I'm so glad that we hired her to handle our case. It turned out that I had a more complicated situation than I realized since I was on a J-1 visa, and needed a waiver (but I had no idea that I needed a waiver because there was a mistake on my visa). The other attorney did not even notice this issue. My case would have been denied if Batya had not detected this. She is extremely careful and knows the law. We got my J-1 waiver, and eventually I got my greencard. It was very stressful for me, but I felt safe because Batya explained everything to us along the way, was extremely organized, and replied to our emails (I had a lot of questions throughout the process!!!) at lightning fast speed. Batya was perfect and the entire process was smooth. Thank you!!!

Excellent immigration lawyer

Batya helped us to obtain a marriage based green card for my husband. The process was long and stressful, yet, we always felt at ease knowing Batya was handling our case. Not only was she knowledgeable, prepared, and up to date with all the most recent information, but she was easily accessible, and ...prompt in responding to any questions or concerns. I felt Batya was invested in the success of our case and she is a caring and concerned person as well as being a wonderful lawyer. I cannot recommend Batya more, if looking for an immigration lawyer, you can't do any better.
