Dorothea is very kind and easy to communicate with. She has lots of ideas about how to deal with different issues. Our work efficiency was quite high. Highly recommend!

An Excellent Experience!

Ms. Lockhart worked on my National Interest Waiver & Adjustment of Status cases. She was great! She kept me up to date on my cases and was very responsive.

With her support you can be much more closer with your American dream

2020 for me is legendary because I met dear Ms. Dorothea Lockhart and the immigration team at DGW Kramer LLP.   I never imagined I can get any long term stable visa in U.S. until I came to this law firm.  Especially for O-1 visa --my first time to know it was when Dorothea looked through my CV and g...ave me her professional opinion that I am qualified for that. To be honest I had no confidence at the beginning even though all my past career was in the art & culture field, but faced with the massive paper work I needed to gather, I didn't know how to start it at all. But Dorothea's rich experience and wonderful team helped me so much and guided me in sorting out the documents necessary step by step. During the process, I realized Dorothea is unique not only because she knows how to meet the requirements of USCIS, but after my O-1 case was approved, she was so responsible to remind me of the issues I need to pay attention to avoid facing unnecessary problems when I renew my O-1 visa or make other plans in the future. That really touched me a lot.   What I want to say is if you are struggling with your legal long term identity in the USA, please entrust your future to lawyer Dorothea Lockhart. She is the best one to support you to realize your American dream.

Dorothea for all things immigration!!

Dorothea was very professional in filing for my petition for EB2-NIW as well as EB1B categories. She was very prompt in answering any questions I had over the course of preparing the material for the petitions and also other general immigration-related questions. Dorothea also helped in guiding me th...rough this whole process with her extensive knowledge and meticulous in verifying all the required paperwork. I would strongly recommend Dorothea for her immigration services.

"As a former colleague of mine, as well as a current practitioner in both employment-based and family-based immigration arena, I have always found Dorothea to be very detailed-oriented and meticulous in her immigration practice. I also have seen how personable and empathetic she is when dealing with current and potential clients who seek out her legal expertise. This is a quality that I think an immigration attorney should try to have, especially due to the challenges that immigrants and their legal representatives face in the immigration field these last few years. I strongly recommend Dorothea to anyone who may be interested in seeking her legal services and I also would not hesitate to seek out her expertise whenever I have any legal questions as well."
