Review Monique Kornfeld

A Lawyer you can trust!

Posted by

I can't express our gratitude to Monique and her team. She is very experienced, and provided invaluable assistance to us. She hit the nail on the head with all her recommendations, and was also extremely professional and provided clear guidance throughout the process. I personally could not have asked for a better immigration attorney, and more importantly, one that you can have full faith and trust in. We really appreciate what she does, and the care we received from her.

Monique handled our immigration process from H1B to permanent residency. She was very timely and accessible. I think her accessibility and her genuine concern for her customers set her apart in her field. I highly recommend her.
