Amazing Attorney

My husband and I are so happy that we hired Laurie to handle his green card. We were very intimidated by the CR1 process, and what needed to be done. She gave us detailed information about every step, what materials we would need and what to expect along the way. If we ever had any questions, she... always promptly replied to our e-mail or phone inquiries. She was patient with us and we are grateful that she treated us with so much respect and kindness. We highly recommend her!

Delighted Client

Began immigration journey without any knowledge of the process. Over the course of our multi-year engagement, we felt prioritized and special, with great communication and preparation. I was delighted in the time invested yielding a perfect result. Very pleasant, professional, prompt, and efficient. ...

Absolutely the best

We know Laurie for about 7 years now. She is absolutely phenomenal attorney. We had a very challenging case, and we are certain if it was not for her dedication and knowledge of the process, we would not have been successful in this journey. Our case was a case of a US citizen and a Middle Easte...rn seeking a K1-Fiance visa. With the success in obtaining the K1 visa, she then became our attorney for a temporary green card, permanent green card, and finally citizenship applications. We are so thrilled as I am scheduled for my citizenship oath in just 2 weeks. During all these years, we have found Laurie to be a very bright and clever attorney. She also is very punctual and true to her words. There were so many moments of anxiety and doubt, but Laurie had a solution for every challenge we faced as she is level headed, resourceful, and detail-oriented. In interviewing attorneys for our case years ago, we felt we faced some judgment and pessimism, however, Laurie was nonjudgmental and fact-oriented. We feel blessed to have had Laurie represent our case. Thank you Laurie!

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.
