Professionalism, work ethic, and kindness

I highly recommend Kristina Rost for any law issues involved in visa processes. She was the attorney who represented my employer and me in the H1B petition. I was highly impressed by her professionalism, work ethic, and kindness during the entire process. The H1B process can be a pretty laborious one..., and usually the employer even it is willing to petition for you, it has no legal knowledge about the process, and it has a lot of other priorities than your case. With Kristina Rost I felt the success of my case was set as one of her priorities. I was aware she has many other different cases, but she gave me the feeling that my case is important for her any time I interacted with her. She had a limitless patience in answering to all of my questions, and to explain over and over again to my employer the process of H1B petition.

Best immigration experience ever!

I was Kristina's client for 8 years. Our collaboration started with my H1B visa transfer in the very tough time frame and continued with the challenge of green card application in the eb3 category (just received). I'm very happy that I choose Kristina and her Team to help me on "the long and windi...ng road" to the permanent residency. She was right here, nearby, when the help was needed be it a decision point on which way to follow with the Labor Certification, or the unexpected situations during the visa stamp interview at consulate abroad. Kristina is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, goal- and client- oriented, persistent, passionate, reliable, caring, trustworthy lawyer with a great personality. She approaches each task both from the true professional and human points of view. Kristina is always respectful and patient with her clients. You can feel that she deals with your problems as if they were her own and does her best to find the perfect solution. She always gets back to you even when she is out of office. It is a pleasure to work with her. I referred another person I know to her and he too enjoys the wonderful service he and his relatives receive with their immigration matters.

The BEST Immigration Attorney There Is!

Almost 10 years ago, I was the HR Director at a Boston software company and was referred to Kristina Rost by an employee who had a wonderful experience with her while pursuing an H-1B Visa. At the time, I had some experience with the VIsa process but didn't really understand all of the machinations.... Working with Kristina, I was able to greatly expand my knowledge of the immigration laws because of her ability to stay on top of all the laws, all of the potential issues and all of the paperwork and deadlines. I have continued to enlist Kristina's services as I have moved on to other companies and I am continually impressed by how seamless she makes the process.

Highly recommended

I had an excellent experience working with Kristina Rost. I first got L visa and then Green Card with her help. She provided me with comprehensive information about every step in the process and answered my numerous questions with clarity and patience :-) Her attention to details is second to none. O...verall, her professionalism and preparation of all legal documents in a timely manner made the process of getting Green Card for me very quick and frustration-free :-) I highly recommend Maged and Rost!

An excellent immigration lawyer

Kristina and I have worked together for several years. Initially she helped me work on working visas, and then to get a green card through marriage. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with someone so knowledgeable and empathetic. Both my husband and I are deeply grateful and give her our hig...hest recommendation.

"I have known Kristina for close to 8 years, and have watched her develop from a young lawyer with the gumption to open up her own law practice to a seasoned professional who has been recognized as an Up & Coming Lawyer by the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly and New England Super Lawyers Rising Star. She is a competant, personable and effective advocate. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any type of immigration need, whether simple or complex. I know that she will get the job done with grace and aplomb."
