Fantastic Lawyer

Extremely professional, thorough, knowledgeable with excellent interpersonal skills. It was a delight working with Amy. Thanks to her, my wife's application to become a US citizen was pain free. Forever grateful... Thank you Amy!

Remove Conditions on Permanent Residence Based on Marriage

I called Amy and had an appointment set right away. Amy was really nice and I really liked the fact that she was upfront and talked to me in a very honest and simple way. I hired Amy to help me with my wife's case (my wife got a green card from my citizenship). I had messed this up as i was trying to... get this done myself. My wife was almost getting under deportation procedures becouse i had not filed a form. Amy helped us out, and did everything perfect, like everything was perfect. The immigration did not even required us for a interview, instead they just approved our case. Thank you Amy.

IMMIGRATION - Great Lawyer

Wonderful Layer. She helped me in my green card process, not an easy one because my mother (the petitioner) was dead. Since the first meeting I knew she was the one who could help me in the process. She did all the steps on time and encouraged me to do the same. I was confident all the time. She was ...with us in the interview and make us feel confident. My wife, daughter, and I I will appreciate always her commitment to our case. An special thanks to her assistant Paulo, who always make me feel confident too. Great Team.

Permanent Residence to Citizenship

I was recommended to Amy Wax by my previous lawyer because of a complication in my immigration case. Amy took my case in about 7 years ago and has been very helpful and professional. She kept me informed all the time. She was concerned and empathetic until I became a US citizen. She is well versed in... immigration law and I would recommend anyone to her services. Her fees are reasonable and the best part is that she takes it personal when you give her the facts. Thank you Amy!

Greencard through marriage

Amy was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the duration of our case. We were applying for permanent residency for my husband, who is from South America, and it was clear that she was well-versed in all of the intricacies of immigration law. Amy filed the paperwork quickly and kept ...us apprised of the status of our case as needed. She also came with us to the interview for the greencard, which made us feel less nervous and more secure that the immigration officer would be fair. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone seeking legal help for an immigration matter.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
