The best and most responsible immigration attorney I've met

I am an immigrant applying for employment-based green card. In the 1st quarter of 2022, my I-485 case got a 7-page long NOID with several severe charges on my admissibility of the green card benefits, including but not limited to unauthorized work, illegal presence, questioning the legality of my F1/...H1 visa, and suspicion on my previous educational and professional background, etc. I contacted tons of immigration attorneys all over the country. Some of the very well-known immigration attorneys charged me $200/half an hour consultation but said nothing meaningful; some were reluctant to help; some directly turned me down and refused to help; some wanted to charge me $15,000 for a NOID response! A local attorney with a title of "previous immigration judge" charged me $250 for 30 minutes chat but didn't read my NOID letter and told me he was not quite familiar with some recent changes in the immigration law... All the frustration negatively affected my family and myself in our life and my career. I would say only attorney Wang cares us. I would always emphasize that an immigration attorney must understand the word "EMPATHY", an ability to imagine and share another person's feelings, experience, etc. Unfortunately few immigration attorney does but attorney Wang is an exception. She thoroughly read my NOID before our first meeting, carefully analyzed my case and strategically helped me with the NOID response. The response was professional, resounding, convincing, and neatly formatted for easy reading and tracking. She charged me reasonably but apparently spent more time than the value I paid. She responded to my questions with great patience, answered my email/messages with a timely manner. I therefore highly recommend attorney Wang for any immigrants, especially if you encounter troubles in your immigration case!

A professional and responsible lawyer

At the beginning of this year, I encountered some difficulties with my visa. In the process of preparing materials for the immigration office, Lawyer Wang patiently listened to my situation, actively communicated with me, assisted me in preparing and translating all materials, and professionally resp...onded to the questions of the immigration office. Now I have received the reply from the immigration office. Accept all my explanations and agree to my application. Lawyer Wang is a professional, responsible and patient lawyer. She made me feel safe and secure.

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.
