Five star service

I was a client of Laurie while seeking a k-1 Visa for my fiance in Colombia. Laurie was extremely conscientious and timely in all matters. Her thoughtfulness made her a friend before the process was completed. Her attention to detail assured you that her professionalism would serve you with great... confidence. Since I was 77 and my fiance 29 there was no room for any errors. Laurie is superb.

A true professional

My wife and I hired Laurie to obtain professional legal guidance for my wife's daughter on a F-1 Visa. If you are thinking about doing this process yourself, you may want to reconsider. One mistake, one missed document, or one question left undone may result in denial and you may have to start the p...rocess over again. From the moment we hired Laurie I could tell we were in good hands. It is such a good feeling to know that the process will be correctly and " no guessing, did I do this correctly" Throughout the process she explained things in detail, and told us when and how to do each step. She is caring, made us feel at ease, has excellent people skills, always returned phone calls or emails. Laurie's services were excellent and would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services. We kind of looked at it like this , the process can sometimes take months or even years. In our case with the Family Visa it was almost 8 years. Did we want to get to the last step in the process and have the visa denied because WE didn't something correctly? Our answer to that was no lets hire an attorney. The one we chose was Laurie and such an excellent choice it was.

OUTSTANDING IMMIGRATION EXPERIENCE - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

I honestly cannot say enough positives about Laurie, even as someone who has worked as a paralegal for an immigration attorney myself, and had been considering doing the filing myself to save money. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, she gets 10,000 from me. Laurie helped my wife and stepson (originally... from Colombia) to immigrate successfully to the U.S., while we were all living in China. Now, in large part due to Laurie's hard work, we are all together in the incredible and beautiful USA! Laurie responded to every single question I had about the process, anticipated and planned well. We communicated often and as necessary via e-mail, phone, and Skype, and I felt confident our case was being handled well. With Laurie, everything went smoothly, quickly, and successfully! In fact, had I been able to gather the required documents quicker, it would have gone even faster. I feel that because of Laurie's help, there were no avoidable delays. The consular officer even approvingly said her filing was "nice and tight" upon submittal. After our interview and approval, Laurie kept in touch and made sure all our needs and requirements were taken care of and anticipated. Plus, she's a great, humble, and kind person, and has an amazing intellect. She is simply the most extraordinary attorney I have ever had the pleasure of personally knowing. Easy to work with and incredibly efficient. When I think of all this at the extremely economical fee, it's just even more amazing. I searched very hard to find Laurie. We are SO glad Laurie was our immigration lawyer.

Excellent Lawyer

My wife and I feel very grateful for all of Laurie’s services. Her organization skills and efficient ways of handling matters made the path to my wife’s green card simpler and clearer. Communication was never a problem as she replied to all our emails at a timely manner, even during weekends. Also, L...aurie’s instructions were very detailed, but not overwhelming. We understood all of her explanations and knew exactly which documents we needed to gather in order to submit. We also found that her attention to detail have even led her to finding errors that my wife and I have overlooked during our parts of our immigration process. During our phone calls, Laurie was very cordial and friendly. She patiently took the time to mentor us and even had a few laughs along the way. Most importantly, Laurie is very friendly and pleasant. During this time in our lives, my wife and I have become extremely busy and have been scrambling to prepare a new home for a baby that is on the way. With Laurie, we rest assured that our immigration matters were being taken care of and put my wife and me at ease. Her kind demeanor made us feel comfortable with her and knew we could put our trust in her. Overall, Laurie is very professional, kind and beyond helpful. We highly recommend her and we would definitely continue to seek her services again in the future.

Spouse Green Card + Citizenship

We contacted Laurie through a friend recommendation when we were looking for help processing a spouse green card. During our first conversation, she carefully listened to our story and provided valuable information to us. Talking to Laurie feels like having conversation with a very knowledgeable frie...nd. We decided to go with Laurie for a citizenship application and spouse green card, and it was well worth it. When an interview invitation was not forthcoming from USCIS, she was on top of it and immediately got us a faxed copy of the invitation. Without her help, I would have missed the interview. For spouse green card application, she gave assurances that we were proceeding correctly, and that we would have the best chance possible to secure the green card. It was a very smooth process with minimal stress, thanks to Laurie. I would recommend her for anyone who might need an immigration lawyer, and I would definitely contact her for my future immigration needs as well.
