Honest and competent

My experience with the team was a excellent and very successful experience . There were 3 different cases approved because they worked very hard and they had a lot of knowledge about the law. I was more than satisfied. I am very thankful and happy to have found a very honest team. I really recommend ...the Araujo and Fisher team.

Annelise Araujo

It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Annelise Araujo as an extremely honest and knowledgeable immigration lawyer I have had the privilege of receiving legal advice and representation from. She has constantly supported my pursue of work visas that could be the best platforms to continue my professi...onal life in United States with a strong sense of justice, trustworthiness and professionalism. The clarity and insight of her legal statements, her awareness of the struggles that arise in the process of application for Visas persisted throughout the whole time we worked together. Her language is resilient and her communication style has filled the conversations with my employer with knowledgeable and insightful advice. The journey of professional educators striving for dignity and justice in our field of work could not be possible without the legal voice of Annalise Araujo.

Divorced!

Annelise and her partner Stefanie were my divorce lawyers and they were both fantastic. My divorce was very hostile (think false accusations of abuse) but I felt taken care of because I was in such good hands. They were attentive and responsive to my concerns, they explained everything about the proc...ess to me so I knew what to expect, and they played hardball to negotiate a settlement that was more than fair for me. Annelise in particular is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. You would not want to be opposite her in a case.

Excellent Attorney

I cannot speak highly enough of Atty. Annelise Araujo at the Law Offices of Araujo & Fisher LLC. Thanks to Annelise Araujo and Stefanie Fisher my husband and me have the green cards/permanent residency. The process is complicated but Annelise was very good in making the information clear and digestib...le. She studied my case in its entire details before suggesting different options. Annelise is very professional, efficient, honest, and knowledgeable. She is very talented in understanding the client’s concerns, and she guided me through the entire green card process - extremely well organized, kept me informed, always returned my calls and emails whenever I had a question or concern, and above all she is extremely nice human being. Thank you Annelise! I strongly recommend Annelise Araujo to anyone seeking legal immigration advice.

  • 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.
