Lisa M Christoffersen's Reviews

Lisa helped me obtain both, my work visas, as well as our permanent residency. She was always available, even when we needed assistance at very short notice. We found her and her team to always be extremely efficient and very friendly.
There were confusing times when I was calling right from the pay phone in the consulate and they were immediately there for us to help in any way possible.
We highly recommend her services to all!

Lisa is fantastic. My current position is my 4th company I've used Lisa as our immigration attorney. I was new to immigration the first time I used Lisa and she walked me through everything. She is patient, knowledgeable and timely. More importantly she is extremely honest. You can speak freely with her and I get the same in return.

I remember in particular her diligence and expertise around 2001/2002 when everything was in flux with immigration and regulations were changing.

I will ALWAYS call Lisa first with any immigration questions regardless of where I am.

Lisa helped me obtain my Green Card after I married my American wife. Walking my wife and I through each step of the process Lisa kept us well informed of my status and what was required of us both regarding documentation and appointments. Although I travel a great deal and there were a number of challenges for Lisa to overcome, she always came though for us and I am pleased to say that I have now obtained my Citizenship - in what I believe was a very timely manner.

Many Thanks to Lisa and all those at Cowan Miller & Lederman.

We had a very specific need to bring someone into the US from Japan for a unique situation. Lisa was asked for advice and wound up represenbting us with the result being a quick success of a complex situation that could have easily gone the wrong way. 100% customer satisfa ction in all respects. Couldn't have been better. James Cullen

I have been working with Lisa over the last 7 years. She helped me obtain my H visa and now I am going through the Green Card process. Every time I have a question or a concern, I have been able to email or call Lisa directly and she will patiently walk me through my questions until I obtain an understanding. Lisa has always advised me accurately through all situations that have arised in my H visa and in my Green Card process.

Recently, we realized that my husband had a gap in his status due to a denial letter and that this gap could potentially cause a problem when we get closer to obtaining our green card. It was very stressful as we were very unsure of what we could do. Lisa did more than give me the best legal advise but she was emotionally sensitive to our situation as well and provided us with the most conservative guidance so as to ensure that our position remains positive.

I ALWAYS recommend Lisa when someone asks me for an immigration attorney. I KNOW that anyone I send to Lisa will be handled with the greatest integrity and care.

Lisa and her team has been wonderful to work with. They are professional, on-time, great follow-up, very accessible, and friendly. I highly recommended Lisa for her in-depth knowledge with Immigration law and she had helped us stepping through the process to ensure our success with our applications.

Lisa worked with me getting my Green Card in a non-straightforward case.
She was always very helpful, and kept myself and my spouse informed at all times of the progress of the case.
At one point, a worker the Seattle USCIS office refused to issue me an EAD, even though I was statutorily entitled, and was about to lose a job offer if I couldn't obtain the permit. I spoke with Lisa when I left the building after the denial, and 15 minutes later she called me back and told me that she had spoken with the USCIS, and that I could go to the office again the following day, and pick up the EAD. If I encountered any more problems, I was to call her, and she would contact the head of the Seattle office to ensure that the EAD was issued.
In addition to the normal work, Lisa, provided very helpful moral support during the worrisome times, and was always on hand to ensure that I didn't worry too much.
Overall, Lisa's service was outstanding: everything I would expect from a super attorney, and much more as well.
I can't praise her work too highly.

Lisa took my employment based permanent residency case. It was a standard case. No issues. All the documentation was there. My i-140 was approved. EAD was approved. I was changing jobs. So she had to apply for an AC-21 and continue my i-485 case. She took the money for the case and after an year dropped the case and returned my money. I was shocked. She gave me no explanation for it. I was left looking for an attorney when there could have been an inquiry anytime. Turns out that during the year she had not intimated INS about the attorney change either.
