Great experience

I had great experience working with Monique on my immigrant petition. Monique and her firm guided me to an E portal that has a clear list of materials to submit. She would notice me via email really fast if I missed something. The whole process was very efficient and pleasant.

Highly professional attorney

Attorney Kornfeld helped my family to obtain a permanent residency status in the US through employment. We greatly appreciate her prompt responses on the million questions we had throughout each step of the process, to wich she always answered patiently and knowledgeably. We were fortunate havi...ng the opportunity to work with such a highly professional individual as herself. For the past 16 years we have worked with a handful amount of immigration lawyers, but her approach was by far outstanding. She managed to make the entire process seem simple and easy. I recommend her services to anyone in need.

I am very pleased to recommend Ms Monique Kornfeld. Monika M.
