A lawyer with excellent professionalism and dedication!

Mrs. Santelises and her team are very professional and in the same time very friendly. They guided me thru the immigration cases for my sisters and informed me on every step of the process. I had a great experience with Santelises Law and I would highly recommend them. Thank you

SSDI expertise

As a full time caregiver with a full time job in the world of clinical compliance and patient financial clearance, one would think I would not need assistance securing SSDI benefits for my husband who is s/p 8 strokes with a host of medical issues. Attorney Luanne Santelises was recommended to me by ...my attorney, and I am eternally grateful. The application process was prepared via a telephone call, fortunately I had all the documentation that was needed and was updated over the course of our pending application. Luanne was easy to communicate with and had an abundance of patience. She was detailed and kind as she explained the convoluted process. When hear of the denials many receive - we had an approval in 7 months. Thank you. Thank you. I highly recommend Luanne Santelises, and feel comfortable to return to her with any questions.

Not only she is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in immigr...ation field - she is super attentive and dedicated. Luanne is always available via email or phone, answers all the questions in details, she is always prepared and will spend extra time with you if needed. If I had to recommend a lawyer to anyone it would definitely be Attorney Luanne Santelises without any hesitation. I could not imagined having done the process without her. Thank you again!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer 100%. I have not only worked closely with Attorney Santelises on numerous matters; but I have in fact referred her friends and family matters; as I do not do this area of law personally. I have had nothing but positive results and comments about her legal results and personal service. She speaks Spanish and English but has access to staff that speaks other languages as well. I would always recommend Attorney Luanne Santelises to anyone for even their most complicated immigration issues regardless of what country they are coming from."
