Experience, compassion, expertise – highly recommended!
Claudia is amazing! My husband and I hired her to guide us through both our K-1 (fiancé visa) application and our adjustment of status to Green Card process. From day one, we knew we had made the right choice in choosing her as our lawyer. She is highly experienced, organized, pragmatic, patient, and pays close attention to every detail. It's so clear that she is completely dedicated to her clients. She was always very available to meet, speak on the phone, or answer our questions via email, and always did so very promptly and thoroughly. She combined this obvious expertise and professionalism with great personal kindness and compassion in all her interactions with us. I found her rates to be very reasonable as well, especially given the incredibly personalized and responsive service she offers her clients. The whole process of applying for a visa or Green Card for one's family member can be so stressful and nerve-wracking (and I'm the sort of person who is really prone to anxiety in the first place!), but with Claudia as our lawyer we felt confident, supported, and reassured throughout the entire experience. With all the increasing uncertainty around immigration policies in our country, there is no one I would trust more to help me and my family navigate the current situation than Claudia.

Couldn't be happier with Ms. Claudia Gregoire
Ms. Gregoire handles the immigration paperwork process in a very professional and understanding manner. It was a dream to work with her and her team. Ms. Gregoire took the time to explain every step and to answer all of our questions. The fees were also very reasonable, they were clear and straightforward. She was also very thorough in preparing us for our interview, from checking off the paperwork needed to putting us through a rigorous mock/prep interview which in turn made us confident and prepared for the real interview. Ms. Gregoire genuinely cared for our case. We are so glad we went with her and always recommend everyone to work with her.

My experience with Claudia
I came to America when I was a minor, I was looking for a good lawyer when I first came here, not a lot of lawyers were interested in my case they said it’s not gonna work, After that we contacted Claudia when I explained my situation to her she was willing to help, Claudia walked me through the process of obtaining a green card with (SIJ), more importantly, she always kept me optimistic even though things were changing in the immigration laws and I was worried but her determination always gave me strength, I believe that I got my green card because of Claudia’s dedication and hard work and most importantly her kind heart, I will always be in her debt. Thank you very much Claudia

Acquiring US Citizenship
Claudia Gregoire was instrumental in helping me obtain my US Citizenship, as an American born abroad (Canada) to a US Citizen father. She possess an in depth knowledge to the laws surrounding immigration. Prior my consultation with Claudia, I had worked with a lawyer who had been helping become a us citizen through process of marriage as my wife was an American citizen. However my marriage ended amicably but obtaining citizenship had become increasingly more difficult. After six years without any progress I decided to seek consultation from several other lawyers as I felt I had a claim to US citizenship through my father. After consulting with 2 lawyers, they had both recommended I continue with the I-751 waiver to remove my condition on my green card, filing as a battered spouse through infidelity, overlooking the fact that my father is an American Citizen. On my first consultation with Claudia Gregoire, I explained my situation, and it was then that she confirmed I may have claim to US citizenship based on my fathers time frame of his physical presence in the United States. Claudia explained that we would need to gather Social Security documents from the SSA office to prove his presence, as well as my fathers naturalization certificate and a few other pertinent documents, to submit to the Department of State. After gathering all required documents, Claudia wrote a letter to the Department of State, explaining my case and my claim to Citizenship. While acquiring citizenship born abroad to a US citizen parent(s), is typically accomplished by filing a Consular Birth Abroad with the US embassy in that Country, it was possible as an adult to claim/acquire my US citizenship. The very detail of my fathers citizenship had been overlooked by every lawyer I had previously consulted with, but Claudia had made that very detail the basis of my case, and successfully helped me accomplish in 6 months what I had attempted for nearly 7 years. I thank Claudia and her legal team for their help and support, as without their efforts as well as their knowledge and experience, this process would of been much more difficult, if not nearly improbable. Thank you!

NATURALIZATION
I HIRED CLAUDIA GREGOIRE FOR MY NATURALIZATION PROCESS. WITH HER STAFF SHE HAS BEEN FANTASTIC. SHE HELPED ME WITH THE PAPER WORK AND ANSWERED QUICKLY AND KINDLY ALL MY QUESTIONS. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT SHE ACCOMPANIED ME FOR THE "EXAM". I HAVE TO ADD THAT, COMPARED TO THE COMPANY I HIRED FOR THE GREEN CARD, SHE WAS MUCH CHEAPER. I HAVE ONLY GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT HER. (NOT TO MENTION THAT IT WAS A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK FRENCH WITH HER.)

Exceeds expectations
Claudia has extensive knowledge . Her experienced helped me a lot with “what to expect” at each step of 485 application. She guided through me whole process and kept me informed with current affairs such as time lines of various applications , changes in immigration policies, what to expect in the interview etc . The best thing i like is her due diligence and understanding how immigration process is stressful and draining. Every time I met her, she was prepared. I had met other lawyers and they hardly go through the case before the meeting and remember any details. Not with Caludia. She pays attention to details. She is just awesome. If she takes your case in hand, you are sure in safe hands.

Efficient and effective lawyer
Ms. Gregoire oversaw my naturalization case and handled it with impeccable precision and concision. As a person naive about the process of naturalization and immigration aw, Ms. Gregoire's extensive knowledge allowed me to feel secure and comfortable. Every question was swiftly answered with accuracy and all potential barriers were easily handled with care. I would highly recommend Ms. Gregoire to anyone.

Claudia made our dream come true.
My mother had applied for a visa twice and she had been denied. We were hopeless and frustrated. Luckily, we found Claudia and we set up an appointment to discuss the possibilities to try again. She was polite, understanding and professional. We started the process with her and every step was easy. The communication is great. Nicholas, her paralegal is very knowledgeable and they both created the strongest case using every single resource possible. I’m so happy to say that my mother went to the interview yesterday and she was approved! I could not believe it and I would like everybody to know that it is possible thanks to the amazing work that Claudia does. Claudia and Nicholas made our dream come true and I’ll be forever grateful. The best decision I could’ve made was to go with Claudia as our lawyer and to try again. She is truly the best.

So grateful that my wife is finally a citizen - Thank you Claudia!
I am so happy that I found Atty Gregoire. After so many years of trying to get citizenship, my wife finally succeeded with Claudia's help. Claudia came up with a creative solution, which other attorneys had not suggested. She helped us every step of the way, and we really liked working with her and her paralegal Nick. I never thought this would be possible, and all at reasonable rates. The courtesy, respect and the entire process were all so positive and welcoming. The entire experience was fantastic and service was great. We will never forget this office and will stop by just to say hello! Thank you Claudia from the bottom of my heart!!
