Knowledgeable, friendly and trustworthy

I am currently a client of Cathy’s. I married my husband in Jamaica August 27th 2022. We filed for the spousal visa approximately one month later and we’re waiting patiently for our approval. I was very nervous about choosing the right Attorney for our immigration process. However, my fears were quic...kly diminished when meeting Cathy. I knew that I wanted an attorney who was readily available to answer questions. I knew I wanted to feel safe and able to speak freely without judgement or criticism. I knew it was important for me to find an attorney that I felt was honest and trustworthy with my money and my heart. Cathy possesses all of these exemplary qualities and more.. A couple of months ago, I called Cathy with a question. Unbeknown to me, Cathy was on vacation. She remained on the phone with me, answering my questions, all while she was on top of a mountain skiing. Her dedication and passion is unmatched. I couldn’t be happier and know in my heart that she is the person for me. The immigration process is very scary and there’s no guarantee it will be approved. Regardless of the outcome, I’m fulfilled by knowing and trusting that she will go to bat for me. I couldn’t be happier and I’m truly blessed to have her in my life.

Knowledgeable and understanding

Back in 2021 during the pandemic I was looking for an immigration attorney who could help me through the K-1 visa process. I checked with many offices in the area and on the web and most wanted to meet via telephone call or Zoom. Being a person who likes to actually interact in person when dealing wi...th important issues that wasn't an option. I was finally able to contact Healy Law offices in Glastonbury. After explaining my situation to attorney Healy she explained she would like to sit down and discuss the case in more depth. Surprisingly she suggested we meet in her office a few days later. This was great for my need to meet with someone face to face to discuss my options. We met safely at her office a few days later where she introduced her staff to me and we discussed the case. I was impressed with the way she explained the process to me both the pros and cons and didn't make promises that she knew she couldn't produce. Feeling good with our discussion I hired her to help with the visa process. Her staff has filled out the paperwork needed for the process. A big reason for this type of visa to be refused or delayed is if the paperwork is not completed correctly. We've had no issue with paperwork and we are on the last stage of the process actually ahead of filers before us. If I had any concerns during the process I contacted attorney Healy. She would return my messages even when she was on vacation. I highly recommend Ms.Healy for any of your immigration needs. I'm sure you will be pleased with the outcome of her work and your issues. Thanks again Cathy and Lisandra.

Sharp, Responsive, Effective… Really Outstanding!!!

Cathy has been the attorney for me and my wife for a few years now as we navigate my wife’s immigration status. I cannot overstate the importance of Cathy’s role. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cathy and her firm are dealing with the most monumental thing in my life - and, certainly, in my wif...e’s life, as well. And I am very happy (and relieved!) to say that Cathy is an incredibly sharp and dedicated lawyer. She knows what she’s doing, and - crucially - she is amazingly responsive when we have a question or a concern (which we often do!), including responding on the weekends. For those of you going through immigration issues and processes, I don’t need to tell you how critical this is. My wife and I are VERY thankful that Cathy is advocating for us!

Current Client

Cathy and her team have been a pleasure to work with throughout the entirety of the immigration process. Over the past six years we have completed two rounds of Green Cards, while currently working on our third round of applicants. Cathy also has the innate ability to effectively communicate on the... immigration process in a proactive and concise manner. We have found Cathy to be very knowledgeable as it pertains to all aspects of immigration and would highly recommend the Healy Law Firm.

I hired Cathy to help my wife get her green card and to have her son, my step son eligible for Imagration to the USA. He has since entered the country and in-listed in the army where he is a private 2nd class.
