    • I recommend Susan Pai.
    • I hired Susan 1-6 months ago.
    • Susan handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    Attorney Susan always made feel that she was in charge of the situation and that I had nothing to worry about. I am from Colombia, therefore my first language is not English, but Susan and her team worked very diligently with me and my husband to provide us with the best possible service. At the end, and thanks to attorney Susan's hard work, my legal situation had a positive outcome. I am very thankful because I was able to count on a great attorney such as Susan Kyong-Lee Pai at a difficult time in my life.

    The first time, I'm searching for the immigration lawyer I saw Ms. Pai review.
    So, I decided to call her and explain my problem, then she makes me comfortable because I was really stress out. Then she meet me in the afternoon the same day. Where in the world that she will give me her time as soon as we hang up the phone, i was relieve because she understand my problem. She is extremely thorough. She scrutinized everything.
    Susan Pai is an excellent lawyer. She will really try to explain the details. She is the best atty.
    She will really focus on your case. She is always prepared.
    Ms. Pai and her staff valued the clients, they were always available anytime i have questions.
    I would highly recommend her .

    I was recommended to Ms. Pai about four years ago.I was having some problems attaining permanent residency and I was so afraid that my dreams of living in the U.S. would be shattered.Attorney Pai and her staff worked their "magic" and now three years later I retained her as my lawyer again and I am soon to be a United States Citizen.I have always dreamed of coming to America and establishing a life that would enable me to have a long and prosperous future for myself.To have a good stable job,be able to send money to less fortunate family members and friends back home.Susan Pai played an integral part in helping me achieve these goals.I have referred her services to many of my trusted friends and and family members.Susan's work ethics are unparalleled.Her attention to detail and getting the job done in an efficient and timely manner is of utmost importance.She always kept me informed of what was happening with my case through emails and phone calls.The entire process can be very overwhelming and Attorney Pai and her staff made me feel such at ease and worry free.I have nothing but respect and adoration for Attorney Pai and her staff.Thanks to them,I must say "Dreams do come true."

    • I recommend Susan Pai.
    • I hired Susan 1-3 years ago.
    • Susan handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    My husband and I couldn't be happier with the kind of service Susan has provided us. We found an advocate, a friend, and a family in her. There was a personal touch in communication that made us feel we have known her in years. She feels how we feel and she never gets tired reassuring. Not because she just wants to make you feel better BUT SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE's doing and that was very impressive! Hat's off! She never let us down, always ready to answer all queries and kept us updated in all stages of the process. I strongly recommend Atty Susan! There is no better choice! :)

    • I recommend Susan Pai.
    • I hired Susan 1-3 years ago.
    • Susan handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    I spoke with 4 different immigration attorneys between May 2008 and May 2010. I wanted to know everything there was to know before I started the Visa process. Then I spoke with Susan Pai. It was like I had not really spoken to any other lawyers. Susan explained everything we needed to do, and everything I should expect from her as well as USCIS and the other Government agencies that would be handling my case. I found that the other lawyers had given me misleading information, leading me to believe it was going to be a fast, simple, and cheap undertaking.

    One major thing people need to understand is that EVERYTHING in your past in relevant. USCIS wants to know about the smallest misdemeanor citation or conviction, even if it was 28 years ago. Leave nothing out, or you will be waiting much longer to receive your Visa if at all.

    Susan knows what the Government wants to see and how to present it. This can mean the difference between getting your Visa or not getting your Visa. I couldn't be happier with the job she has done. Our relationship is more like a friendship, than one of a lawyer and client. Susan really cares.

    • I recommend Susan Pai.
    • I hired Susan 1-3 years ago.
    • Susan handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    After interviewing about eight immigration attorneys in January and February of 2011, we decided to engage Susan Pai and her team as our legal counsel to handle our visa needs. A friend who indicated that Susan was able to handle complex immigration visa cases recommended her to us. In our initial interview with her, Susan articulated thorough knowledge, significant experience and extreme confidence in how we should tackle the case. She also expressed her dedication to her clients, from start to finish.

    In our initial discussions with Susan, she often drilled down to detail about our experiences and challenges, which though at the time was a bit uncomfortable, it proved later to be invaluable in her ability to advise us on the best next steps in our case.

    Her staff, especially Chiara St. Pierre, were very friendly, accessible and of great assistance. Chiara’s commitment to us as clients also made the engagement with Susan a lot easier, while Susan was on the road or helping other clients in court.

    We especially appreciated Susan’s style of preparation for the Consulate and CBP/Port of Entry interviews. We had mock interview sessions with her for both interviews and she was thorough and thoughtful, pulling in all of the details from the case and preparing us for the most challenging situation possible.

    Overall, it was a positive experience and we are very glad that we hired Susan and her team to help us get through a very difficult phase in our lives.

    I was a client of Susan Pai about 8-9 months ago. During my first conversation with her over the phone, Susan appeared to me very caring and trustworthy as she spent a lot of her time answering my questions and assisting me with advice. I never got disappointed. Susan successfully decided my case, and I could not be more grateful. I got my 10 year green card despite the complexity of my situation.

    • I recommend Susan Pai.

    Susan, thank you so much for making it easy for me to pass my Naturalization Interview! I could hardly hold myself from hugging you today!!!

    I would recommend Susan Pai to anyone. First, she would take your case only if she is 100% sure you win. Second, she makes you feel so comfortable, and at ease, when talking about your "problems of the past", even embarrassing ones! And third, not only she has lots of knowledge and experience, that I could witness today at my interview (yes, she will be there WITH you!), but she knows how to "read" the situation on the spot to make it most beneficial for the client.

    She made the whole process really painless, and it took only 80 days from filing to the Interview. Susan, THANK YOU AGAIN!

    • I recommend Susan Pai.
    • I hired Susan more than 3 years ago.
    • Susan handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    My Immigration case is related to deportation, inadmissibility and re-entry issues and hence is a serious and delicate matter that involves alot of stress from my side.

    After talking with Susan I feel confident that I am in good hands and feel protected. That is only because she is so genuinely empathetic, passionate and has a lot of knowledge and experience in handling such cases. I believe this is the right combination of qualities if you are looking to solve an immigration issue here in the US.

    She is very flexible with her work hours which enables me to drop-by to her workplace after/before my 9-5 work hours. She takes all the time in the world to talk to me and update me about the case findings/recent updates. For me, the priority is to be aware of my case events and she understands that need very well. Her rates/costs are very reasonable and are lower than most immi attorneys in jax.

    Another thing that i really like is that she responds back to my question/concern either by phone or text message/email etc. She is very much accessible which is another important criteria for a good immigration attorney.

    I've worked with her at her desk, and I found her very organized and impressive. Her knowledge bank is always up-to-date with the recent changes.
