Horrible

She is not as good of the lawyer as she thinks she is . Why to put all educational and work experiences when in reality you can’t do anything? She is this type of the lawyer that only cares about money before anything. I have consulted with her several times on my case and every time she gave a wrong... immigration answer. But she expects the client to pay every time you ask her anything. This lawyer is wast of time and money.

I am sorry to hear that, however, I do not have a record of you consulting with our office. Typically, we only offer one consultation unless additional services are requested. If there has been any confusion or misunderstanding, I encourage you to contact our office directly. My priority is always to provide accurate legal guidance and support to all clients.

Honest and the best

I was lucky to find Sophia after meeting many esteemed law firms with no idea about immigration cases. She came with an honest approach which is rare and combined with her vast knowledge, calm demeanor, passion, and great communication she got the job done. I really think if I had any other l...awyer I would not have been able to get my green card which was extremely complicated, and for that I am very thankful.

Finally a lawyer that has the confidence and knowledge to get through

Sophia was recommended by a acquaintance that used her on an immigration visa for his worker. She did not disappoint,. I needed a trustworthy lawyer to obtain a working visa for a prospective employee from Europe and she delivered staying within the budget she had estimated . First off she offered... realistic goals and avenues of possibilities based on the ability of my worker. She established a very thorough set of directives that had to be fulfilled in order to go through the application process. I liked that we did not have hundreds of meetings, we had a few phone conversations, a few emails and she went to work, My worker had to gather a lot of necessary letters and information supporting his application but that took only a few months.Sophia did a superb job putting together a very thorough visa application, We paid extra to fast track it and we got the good news a few weeks later, It was painless, there were no added fees and expenses and our communication were brief and to the point. I highly recommend Sophia, she really goes to bat for you .

I highly recommend her for people out there that are having problems with immigration just like i was, because she will do her best to help conquer your problems.

Help in reinstatement Student status

We we Sophia's clients. Sophia has helped us in situation which we believed was hopeless. Our underage son has been studying in US on F-1 student visa. One day his student status was cancelled because of neglect of his boarding school. That school changed its name and then ceased operation at all s...o we believed there is no chance to fix his student status. Other schools refused to enroll him because his student status was cancelled and we realized that only when tried to transfer him to a new school. Sophia wrote a letter to a new school confirming that the immigration lawyer is going to reinstate the student's status, and then she had filed a reinstatement application which was approved. Sophia was very professional and precise, and her bills were more than reasonable. Our boy's student status is reinstated and he continues his schooling! Thank you, Sophia!
