Amazing amazing attorney

Adrienne is fantastic! She is so knowledgeable and practical. I have been using her for all immigration related matters for over 7 yrs and I could not have navigated the complex immigration legal world without her advise. She can simplify complex situations and provide legally sound and practical cho...ices and pathways. Always amazing to work with and very compassionate and understands where her clients come from and feel

Extremely knowledgeable, warm, sincere, responsive, timely...I cannot say enough good things about Adrienne Vaughan.

We are a same-sex couple that contacted Adrienne right after DOMA fell to start the proceedings of having my partner come to the US from Germany. We had talked to at least three lawyers in the years previous looking for help and information. Although they always took our money, they told us nothing I... couldn't find out from Google myself. When I made the phone call to Adrienne and left a message, she called back fairly quickly and we talked for at least 40 minutes. She took time to get to know our situation and gave me an extremely knowledgeable plan of action. I thought it was unknown territory since DOMA had just fallen but it was clear Adrienne had done all the research regarding what had to happen. The fees for service were broken down into steps (you wouldn't believe how comforting that was) and it was affordable considering she had just given me more information in one 40 minute phone call for free than anyone else had who knew very little but still wanted to charge a ton of money. That's how I knew she was legit and really sincere about helping couples be able to be together. Once we started the process, she was incredibly timely, nice, informative, available and extremely helpful. We felt we could always call or email for updates on the status of things and she was always available to answer questions even when we asked a million times because the whole process is confusing and it's easy to forget things. She was always very compassionate and supportive during a very scary and exciting time for us. We really really appreciated her so much and feel lucky that we found her. You would be in great, great hands if you choose this lawyer to represent you – no question.

The Best Attorney

I know Attorney Adrienne Vaughan for last 4 years, she is very supportive, friendly, knowledgeable attorney. Adrienne did my Green Card (US permanent residency) application back in 2010 and I must say that she has played a significant role in my professional and personal life. I was referred to Adr...ienne by a colleague from Harvard. In my first meeting with Adrienne I realized that I made a good choice, she carefully explained me the paperwork needed as well as provided strong support and helped me understand how the process works. Before meeting with Adrienne I was very nervous about entire Green card application however her excellent communication skills and legal expertise gave me strong confidence that I would definitely get Green Card (US permanent residency). I received my Green Card in very short time. I give all this credit to Adrienne, for her hard work, processional dedication, she was responding to my emails, queries and phone calls promptly as well as offered me her personal cell phone number when I was traveling internationally during the Green Card application process. On several occasions, Adrienne provided legal advice to me and my family members, she is one of those few legal professionals who care more about their clients than financial gains. For last 4 years, I have referred several of my colleagues and friends to process their applications with Adrienne. I strongly recommend Adrienne to anyone who is looking for kind, supportive, knowledgeable, experienced and responsive Lawyer. Best wishes to Adrienne.

Immigration Lawyer O1-A and H1-B

I initially contacted Adrienne to review my options for a work visa to be petitioned by a US start up company operating in a very specialized area. I am a UK citizen and have been in the US for three years in F1 student status. As I was coming to the end of my F1 status, there was considerable time p...ressure to secure an appropriate work visa. Adrienne was the third immigration attorney I had met with in the Boston area and she gave me by far the best first impression. Adrienne and her associate carefully reviewed my situation at an initial meeting, and then drew up a list of detailed options. After some further work together we agreed to pursue an O1-A application, followed by a H1-B application as a back up. The O1-A application took around three months of tireless work by Adrienne and her associate. Their attention to detail, dedication, exceptional knowledge of the subject and high work rate culminated in a 400 page application that was ultimately successful. In addition to the application, Adrienne used her considerable experience in executing a perfect strategy that allowed me to keep the costs to a minimum, while also giving me the best chance of securing a work visa. During all my interactions with Adrienne she has been very professional, personable and supportive. I look forward to working with her again on my next immigration step in years to come.
