Immigration Advice

Although I had very short conversation with Ms.Disna about family immigration I found she was very thorough, informative and helpful. She knew all the relevant laws top of her head. Her answers were very specific and accurate to the point. I would recommend anyone to her as an immigration lawyer.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

I had the privilege of getting advice from Disna Weerasinghe when filing for my mother’s green card. She was very knowledgeable, prompt, professional, and courteous. Without Disna’s advice, obtaining the green card approval in a very short time span would not have been possible (especially with the ...numerous complications with my mother’s documents). Disna exhibited a calm demeanor throughout the process which put us at ease. We had many questions, and Disna was always willing to listen and respond to us in a timely manner with her vast knowledge base. She guided us through every step meticulously. I would highly recommend Disna’s immigration services. Her ability to navigate the complex maze of immigration with both professionalism and competency makes her an excellent attorney.

Highly Recommend for Immigration Law

We used Disna Weerasinghe's services in applying for our marriage-based greencard. She ensured that our immigration process was seamless, and we received the greencard sooner than we expected, which was a pleasant surprise. She exhibited a thorough knowledge of immigration law, and we felt that we we...re in very good hands from the beginning till the end. She was very responsive, and was always available to answer any questions we had. She prepared all our documentation in a thorough and diligent manner and this saved us a lot of time and trouble. We were very busy with so many other things going on in our lives while applying for the greencard, and having her help us with the process made our lives so much easier. We would highly recommend Disna Weerasinghe for immigration services. She genuinely cares about her clients, and about the work she does, and does everything she can to ensure that her clients cases succeed.

Consistent Quality and Reliable Legal Assistance

I enlisted the legal services of Disna M. Weerasinghe to aid in acquiring a visa for temporary employment in the United States. Being a Canadian citizen, I was unsure of the types of visas for which I would qualify, and my employer was not knowledgeable about employing Canadian Citizens. Mrs. Weera...singhe not only researched and found the appropriate visa for which I was qualified, but went above and beyond to ensure that my application was thorough and that I would be knowledgeable enough to answer any and all immigration questions related to my employment and visa status. She has been such a reliable source of information and her work is flawless. Her diligence and ability to think "outside the box" contributes to her unparalleled skills, and makes her very valuable in navigating the complex world of immigration law. I am so impressed with the level of service I received from Mrs. Weerasinghe and have no hesitations in recommending her to anyone in need of an Immigration Attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
