Great Immigration Attorney

Eve helped me transferring my H1B visa to my new employer. She explained the process clearly and kept me up to date along the way. I am very impressed by her professionalism and responsibility.

Posted by anonymous | July 25, 2010 | Immigration

complete care

Although I was somewhat nervous at first, Eve quickly calmed my fears. By the end of my consultation I was completely at ease. Eve has a wonderful personality and truly enjoys helping people. She is very knowledgeable and thorough. She took me through the entire process from consultation to permanen...t resident status to my citizenship swearing in ceremony this past April. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

For sure she is one of the best immigration lawyers in NYC!

I, and my family were so lucky that we met Eve 11 years ago through a close friend's recommendation. Eve and her staff have handled all our immigration needs from applying H1B / H4, labor authorization permit and permanent residency. Although Eve is the only immigration lawyer I have met since I move...d to the Unite States, I knew quite a few people around me who had unpleasant experience with their lawyers. I believe that everybody agrees finding a good immigration lawyer needs luck and time. Eve is professional, trustworthy and down-to-earth. She has been so patient in listening to our thoughts and providing us with valuable information. She was so efficient in preparing our documents and tracking our cases, fast but very careful - she always found this or that errors before we noticed them. Other people in their reviews tell the same feeling that I have: you don't have to push Eve, she gave you the 'pressure' to help you move fast. I am an art appraiser and working for a small art gallery. My profession makes our immigration case not the easy one. Eve had visited our gallery many times and she is familiar with the nature and requirements of my job. The immigration journey is long enough, but my life in this new land is getting brighter everyday because not only I work so hard but I have something in faith that Eve has convinced me.

A great lawyer (and she treats you like a friend)!

Ms. Eve C. Guillergan has been my attorney for all my immigration needs throughout my stay in the USA - almost a decade and a half. Right from the time I needed to convert my OPT to a H1 visa, till I became a permanent resident, Eve has been representing me to the INS and the USCIS. Eve was recommend...ed to me by a co-worker and I am fortunate that I made the decision to have her represent me. I have depended on Eve to not only explain the legal and immigration processes to me but also to work efficiently with my employers HR department to ensure that both my employers and I were maintaining a legal status at all times. Prior to every stage of a process Eve would notify me of the documents I would need for that step so we could start preparing for them in advance. This ensured that there was no delay in filing the appropriate application forms with a complete package of all required documentation. Even though Eve, my HR department and I are located in 3 different states I never felt that it was a major disadvantage nor was there any lost time due to distance. Eve's innovative use of internet and technology ensured that distance and time-zones were not a hinderance - she has long used the web to enable me to securely review, edit, save, comment on and approve application forms electronically as they were completed. This saved us a lot of time and money. The final documents were then mailed to me or HR for original signatures. Eve's legal fees have also been more than reasonable and she allowed me to make payments using installments which was especially helpful when I was young graduate at my first job. If and when I decide to become a citizen of the USA I know that I will just have to call Eve and she will take care of the rest. I would gladly recommend Eve to anyone. I wish Eve and her practice continued success in the future.

Knowledgable, wise, and practical

"Eve is extremely knowledgeable about both the law and actual practical aspects of immigration. She writes clearly, is easy to work with, and I trust her so much that I have asked her to represent my clients when I was forced to be absent for an immigration hearing. "
