Immigrant/ Registered Nurse

Ruby is a great attorney and I’m always sending referrals to their office. 22yrs later and anyone I’ve ever sent to their office has good results.

The Best Decision off my Life

My lawyer changed my life. I obtained political asylum based on my sexual orientation. Then I became a permanent resident of the United States. Recently I passed my interview to became a citizen. This happened thanks to the support, hard work and professionalism of my amazing lawyer.

Immigration/Citizenship

I had a great experience with Ruby. She very knowledgeable and experienced. I had a bad experience with the previous attorney until the case went to immigration proceedings. My citizenship application was pending for two years until it got rejected. Ruby helped us through filing in the district c...ourt as well as fighting the case in immigration court. Finally we won the case in immigration count for residency and went back to district court for citizenship. I just got my citizenship approved a month ago and everything went well. Ruby fought for us every step of the way. Her fees were very reasonable and she was able to provide a reasonable payment plan within affordability. Now we have requested to have the legal expenses reimbursed which is even better. I had a great experience and will definitely recommend her. Thanks for your efforts Ruby.

Professional, responsible and highly recommended!

Ruby is my savior during an unexpected trouble that shook me completely. Her knowledgeable explanation of each step in handling the case, the scenarios and possible outcomes were really helpful for a person who knew nothing about consequences in immigration law for careless mistakes. Ruby has trem...endous experience in immigration law along with impressive communication skills and the attitude to help clients. Her explanation on immigration consequences for offenses were very detailed, powerful and helped me get relieved off the case. More importantly, she really cares about her clients. She responds to emails, messages and calls promptly and professionally. Beyond her profession, she is a good person. She is a go-to attorney who will do her very best to take care of her clients. People tend to get in trouble due to carelessness and absentmindedness at times -Ruby is someone who will completely analyse the situation, provide a realistic answer for all questions, trust the client's situation and help accordingly. She is very intelligent, affordable and zealous. She had thoroughly helped me since the first day I met her until I was relieved off the case. She is the best immigration attorney I have known.! Ruby is a valuable person who can make positive differences in others lives beyond her profession.
