Carol L. Edward

Customer review: We came to Carol after 10 years of fighting with the Dept. of Homeland Security , with no success. We faced being deported and felt as if we were nearing the end of our legal options. Carol took our case and gave us a realistic outlook on what we could expect. She walked us through our options and the likely outcomes—she told us that our case was a long shot, but that she would do her best.
Immigration cases are complicated and time consuming. They require a lot of expertise and can be very costly, but Carol was honest with us regarding the costs. Moreover, immigration cases take a long time to resolve. The Dept. of Homeland security takes months to respond to just about any filing and cases can go on for years--ours went on for 12.
It is difficult to find an honest, qualified immigration attorney. Our previous lawyer missed deadlines, didn't return our phone calls, and ultimately kept all of the money we paid her even though we were facing deportation because she had missed numerous immigration deadlines. Carol, like any attorney, is busy, but she genuinely cared about us and was very diligent in representing us. She never missed a deadline and the work she submitted on our behalf was of high quality.
Carol is one of the top two immigration attorneys in Seattle according to Seattle Magazine and I believe it! She has a reputation among other attorneys of being an excellent, knowledgeable and ethical lawyer. For us, she was a zealous advocate and took our case all the way to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, where she won on oral argument—a very rare occurrence. Thanks to Carol, we are now well on our way to becoming citizens!
