Freya helped us a lot!

First of all, getting in contact with Freya was a breeze. She instantly responded to a phone call and set up a time to meet. I told her the immigration case about my parents and being refused by the embassy. She explained the procedure and what was needed to get the case out of refusal/administrative... processing and assist with making an affidavit of support and documents that would be beneficial and needed to expedite the case. She got in contact with the CT state representative to help with the case. Setting up follow up appointments were smooth as well and she always answered questions when asked. I truly believe with her help with this case helped my parents receive their visas from the embassy sooner rather than later. Overall, great communication and she really helped out on the case. Will 100% recommend.

Exceptional Attorney

PLEASE, do not hesitate to call Freya's office if you ever find yourself in the circumstances of bankruptcy!!! She won't judge you, and answers every question until you feel on solid ground again. I knew exactly what to expect, and what I needed to do to prepare. This is a dedicated, insightful, and ...considerate individual with top notch legal skills. An overall fantastic support person to have on your side as you go through this process. You'll feel very comfortable with her, and she was always just a phone call away to put me at ease or answer any questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Best in the business!

Freya Williams is an incredible attorney. I came to the states from Chile in 2001, and thanks to president Obama, became DACA recipient. After marrying my husband in 2018, we needed an attorney to make sure our petition for US residency process was handled correctly. From the beginning Freya was beyo...nd professional. She listens to you and all of your concerns. She is extremely thorough in her process, and double and triple checks that everything is done perfectly. After submitting our application, she checked in with us frequently and made sure nothing slipped between the cracks. Once we received our interview date, she immediately set up a day to meet with us and go over everything needed to make sure the interview went swimmingly. On the day of the interview, she kept us calm, and made sure everything was done so we could focus on just our interview. She is truly an amazing attorney and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to go through this very stressful process with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything, Freya!

Attorney Freya Williams: Professionalism and Excellence at their best

Attorney Williams has very good work ethics: Not only is she extremely reliable, she also inspires confidence. As her clients in regard to our Immigration problems, my wife and I never felt that it was all about the money. She addressed all our issues, whatever they may have been, with solicitude, an...d promptly. When we alarmingly told her that we were from Haiti, that my spouse overstayed her visa by more than three years, and even worked without authorization she quickly proceeded to appease our concerns and explained to us in details problems that are specific to our country as related to the immigration process. From day one, her main advice and a focus point during our dealings was: "Always be Honest and tell the truth". As a result of her diligence, our immigration status change process went like a breeze. Thank you Ms. Williams, and Bravo!

Made my naturalization experience incredibly easy!

Attorney Williams assisted me with my naturalization. I was overwhelmed, as many of us are by the process and reached out to Attorney Williams for help. She was punctual, informative, and proactive in all of her communications. Most importantly, she made me feel comfortable at each step and was very ...relatable. She was always available to answer any questions I had and gave me plenty of guidance specific to my case. I have already referred family members to Attorney Williams and would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance!
