Top notch immigration lawyer!

I hired Julia to handle my wife's immigration case and could not have asked for a better attorney. Throughout the entire process (which lasted more than a year) she was in constant communication with us, was very thorough and gave us a very clear idea of what to expect. Correspondence is also very ...easy with her as she responds to emails promptly. I just cannot stress how thorough Julia is, and that's something that needed when it comes to immigration situations. She is definitely on top of her game! We still plan on using Julia in the future and I will recommend her to anyone who is seeking immigration assistance in the future.

Thankful that Julia was my lawyer!

Julia is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Her attention to detail is remarkable. A friend recommended Julia to me after successfully obtaining his visa and I have had a similarly great experience with her as my lawyer. She was always available to answer any questions I had and to put my mind... at ease throughout the entire application process. I had complete confidence in Julia and really felt I was in the best possible hands. She is also a lovely person and very easy to get on with. I look forward to hiring her again in the future and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to others.

O-1 Visa

It has been great to work with Julia for my O-1 visa. Fast, responsive, she has been always available to answer my questions. Very interested in knowing my case and my work, I felt she was crafting every detail of my application. I would not hesitate to recommend her to everyone interested in getting... an O-1, and I'm sure her professionalism extends to any immigration services.

O1 Visa

I met Julia one year ago through a friend of mine who was her client at that time. What impressed me right away was that my friend not only easily obtained the Visa she was applying for, but she also had an amazing experience at a human level…which is not easy to find in a professional figure such... as an attorney. The first time I spoke to Julia I was still in a professional relationship with another law office, an unqualified (yet very famous) firm that with its unprofessional behavior was jeopardizing my chance to obtain a Visa. When I decided to close the previous relationship and use Julia's help to obtain my Visa I suddenly realized the difference between working with a big firm where your case is seen only by some para legal kid without experience and focus, and working with a "custom tailor" like law shop where the lawyer is focused on your case. Julia listened to all my story, she studied my case thoroughly, than promptly helped me in so many ways that... I don’t have enough words to describe them all. When I met her I was feeling really discouraged and hopeless, and Julia proved me to be not only a very skilled, knowledgeable and prepared attorney, she also was a wise and sensible advisor for me. And that gave me the strength to hold on and to persuit my dream. Something that has been very important for me was her way to propose possible solutions giving constant hints how to overcame the difficulties that always arise in the Visa process. She was constantly available to answer my questions and reassure my concerns, and she patiently presented me all the options, always explaining all the processes, documents, protocols, making them very easy for me to understand and apply. Her attention to details, her being so precise and sharp in every little aspect of the Visa procedures allowed the process itself to be very smooth and fast. I will never thank her enough for giving me all the help I needed. I Highly recommend Ms. Lamanna for any immigration related issues, she is… simply the best.

Very good experience with Julia!

Julia has been fantastic in solving my immigration issues, back in 2002. She presented us with very reasonable prices, 100% availability and the fact that she is bilingual English-Italian was a huge thing for me (I'm Italian as well). She is very prepared, very concerned and works very hard to give y...ou the best service and the most help she can provide. As a result, I am a USA resident because of her advice and precious help. Grazie Julia!
