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

Made a complex process easy and inspired confidence

Adrienne and her staff helped us navigate the spousal green card process. She provided clear instructions, gave excellent advice, was timely on all communications, and inspired confidence throughout the process. We strongly recommend her.

My Angel

America, the land of hope, and opportunity. The dreams that all of us carry as we cross her borders. Then the reality of a daunting maze of bureaucracy as we hurriedly jump through the rabbit holes of the immigration system. My opportunities dwindled as the rabbit holes disappeared, and my dreams wer...e fading as I was losing hope. Through a friends referral I contacted Adrienne and she started my case from scratch. She went through every detail of my whole process. I could see right away that Adrienne was a very competent immigration lawyer. What surprised me was how much she cared about my case. At times she made me feel that I was her only client. Today I am a proud citizen of the United States.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

I am an HHMI postdoctoral scientist doing research in the field of biophysical sciences. Toward the end of my H1B status, I needed to apply for permanent residency to continue my work in the U.S. Adrienne has been extremely helpful during this process of applying for a green card through EB2 NIW. Oth...er reviews posted here have concluded that Adrienne is professional, thoughtful, and helpful. I completely agree with these, and on top of that I would like to highlight two excellent qualities of her that I really appreciate and admire. First, after I provided Adrienne my research materials (10 first-author research articles), she drafted a main petition letter that completely captured the essence and the significance of my work using words that are understandable for general readers. She truly demonstrated an excellent ability to be the interpreter between me as a scientist and USCIS officials. I believe that this quality is very important for any professionals looking for obtaining green cards. Second, I found that Adrienne works hard and works efficiently. There were several occasions that we had email back and forth on Saturday evening discussing strategies to move my case forward. It also only took her 2 weeks to draft an excellent main letter for me. Due to her diligence and great ability to organize things, my petition was submitted within 2 months after our initial meeting. Overall, I highly recommend Adrienne as your immigration lawyer. I am sure that you will find working with her is a great experience, and will produce successful results.

By far the best immigration attorney in town!

I was referred to Adrienne by a colleague at work who, after listening to my highly complicated case, suggested that I seek Adrienne's legal services. It was by far the best decision we made as a family. No matter what the issues - including significant delays in follow-up by us, lost papers, complic...ated family scenarios, changing statuses for different family members,.. just about every conceivable thing that could go wrong... - Adrienne handled with full competence, patience, compassion, persistence, and grace. We will be forever grateful to her for all that she has done for us. In a seemingly impossible situation, Adrienne was able to pull us through the entire green card process from start to finish, working out multiple scenarios for a best possible application, and we were able to attain permanent residence in an astonishing record time. I would highly recommend her services to anyone at anytime. She is the best.
