Thanks to Susan I’m a citizen and still in the USA

Where do I start I think if I’m not mistaken I met her through Father Teixeria after ordered to do community service after a shoplifting case. I was young and didn’t know anything about the law or deportation. Susan took my case after I was ordered deportable and she made sure everything in her power... that I didn’t get deported. I hate to relive those dark days but if it was for her, wouldn’t have been here to raise my children. I trusted her and she did not fail it took time and she stayed on top of everything and thanks to her I became a citizen 2016. I would like to thank you for all your service in the immigration community you are a true hero. Not all heroes where cap some wear suits. I didn’t feel like a client. She made me feel like family I meet her family she meet mine’s.There a lot more detail to our story, years of pain healing and growth I’m truly grateful and blessed to have had her in my life.

Great attorney

Susan Church know her stuff. First, she has a keen sense of how and whether she can successfully mount a defense in a criminal case. Second, even before she takes a case, she is able to explain a complicated immigration case and chart out what and how long it takes to bring it to a successful conclus...ion. She is most effective when she can help a client with both criminal and immigration cases. I highly recommend her.

Best Immigration Lawyer

My N-400 was turn down by many lawyers due to an aggrevated felony conviction. But Attorney Church just got me an Oath Ceremony. Thank You, you are the best ! After 38 years I finally got my US citizenship.

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.
