Giving Lawyers a good name.

Attorney Amy Wax was referred to me by a friend in 2012 when I was in need of a competent Immigration Lawyer and she has been representing me ever since. My experience with her has been very successful regarding my personal case because she is extremely professional, organized and have always had my ...best interests in mind. She makes the time to answer my questions and hear my concerns, being clear about my options. I couldn't get myself a better Counselor even if I wanted. I remember this one time when we were in Court for a hearing and, right before our session was finished and the Judge was giving me some instructions and saying that I was luck to have Mrs. Wax representing me because she is very Professional and organized and easy to work with. And I agreed with him right then and I still do. Needless to say that I've referred her as Lawyer to many of my friends who are in need of guidance and representation regarding Immigration issues. Amy Wax has a brilliant mind, one that she put up to serve people with respect and professionalism. By my own definition, she is one of those people who gives Lawyers a good name.

Excellent Immigration Assistance

My husband, who is from Brazil, hired Amy to help us navigate the green card process shortly after we married. Amy adeptly guided us through the process every step of the way through our interview. She has us prepared at every milestone as to what to expect and when -- and her guidance was precise. S...he is always available and accessible for questions and concerns. She took the anxiety out of the process and made sure we were successful.

To God be the Glory that he put Amy in our path, when we thought that all was lost she gave us hope and a future we are grateful

My husband and I began our journey with Amy M. Wax in the year of 2013, April. My husband and I met with her to see if she would be able to escort my husband to his interview as a legal representative and translator because we had already started our I-130 Petition for Alien Relative on our own one ...year prior (which was a big mistake, because he had a deportation order out since from 2000). Amy assured us that she can handle our case and we felt very confident in working with her. It has been a very long and stressful journey and Amy was there through it all and stopped my husband from being deported which he was close to being but by the grace of God and Amy he has come back to us. It has been a long and rocky road and the Immigration system can be very complex and my advice is to not go at it alone. That is why we have professionals such as Amy and she as well as her excellent team (Paulo, Pedro, Sean & Melissa) have been my rock and shield and has given me hope. My husband has been now approved for his green card 2016, April and I can say that Today my husband and I as well as our beautiful daughter have been given another chance and we now have a future together to continue on in this life and build from the ground up. I can't Thank Amy enough for her help and support through this tumultuous journey.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
