Incredible Attorney & Human Being

Ms. Moidel was recommended to my father by an acquaintance who raved about her performance and successful immigration case. During our initial consultation for naturalization, Ms. Moidel noted every single description regarding his complex case and whether it would lead to deportation. She masterfull...y recalled law clauses that would protect my father's rights to grant citizenship. She carefully reviewed a long and complex 50 year old history, and took on the challenge full-force. She ensured my Spanish-speaking father understood each and every possible outcome, and eased his nerves. She took the time to review questions and extensive American and immigration history, which she is clearly passionate of. On the day of the naturalization interview, she stood by my father and pointed any errors, miscommunications or unfairness. Ms. Moidel did far more than successfully obtain citizenship for my elderly father - she kept a family together. My family and I will always be grateful for her outstanding dedication to immigrant and American rights, her humbleness, and true passion. She is truly one of a kind.

My life wouldn't be what it is today without Shari!!!

After being turned down representation from other immigration lawyers due to having a lengthy criminal record from my younger days while suffering alcohol addiction. My fear of being deported was very real. I entered the US at fourteen years old with a green-card and was scheduled to renew it in 2017.... A good friend recommended Ms. Moidel and I went to see her hoping she could help me. She did!!! Shari is extremely experienced in immigration law, and was able to let me know where I stood. She suggested I file for my citizenship. I cannot say it was an easy road but her professional advice helped me get through the process. Today, I am proud to say I am an american citizen paying back to this country which has been my home for 30 years. Shari changed my future and I will be forever grateful. Furthermore, Shari help me petition my wife who was an undocumented immigrant. Now, she has her green-card thanks to Shari. We are now able to raise our two american born children without fear of being deported. Shari also helped petition my step-son who is due to come join us next year!!. Our family can now be together. I would highly recommend Shari to anyone who is in need of assistance from a highly experienced immigration lawyer! Thank you Shari!

Shari is an efficient, reliable and dedicated lawyer. She was able to ease our worries and concerns as we were facing deportation. Although it was a long process, she was able to successfully remove the deportation and give me my life back. It's been a long and winding road but I am forever gratefu...l for her and her services. I am happy to say that I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for the best of the best.

The best immigration lawyer!!

I want to give the best comment for Ms. Moidel who solved my case in record time. I met Ms. Moidel when she was the main speaker for an Immigration seminar at the United Nations. My case was very complex because I had my US Citizenship and renounced to it due to my job. Ms. Moidel's expertise in th...is area of immigration law was extremely helpful. I retired 2 months ago and I had to reapply for legal residence. I am eternally grateful for her excellent service. She was great! Was willing to accommodate my late work schedule. She was extremely thorough, explaining every step of the process and even we were at her office for over 2 hrs at the initial consultation. We received the absolute highest quality of professional service we could ask for. Ms. Moidel gives personal service and responds promptly to messages. I remember one day that she was in Canadá and she just came to New York to prepare my case and she made me feel that I was important to her and she really was caring. Everything came out exactly the way she said. There were no surprises, no hidden costs or fees and everything went smoothly. I received my Green Card in 3 months. I do not hesitate to recommend her.

We couldn't have asked for a better immigration lawyer

My wife and I highly recommend Shari Moidel if you need an immigration lawyer. It’s a complicated process, and she expertly guided us through every step. We are a lesbian couple. I am an American citizen living in NYC, and my wife is Canadian. With Shari’s help, my wife got her green card in under... a year. We are pretty smart, but we would have never been able to achieve this result on our own. Our immigration application was so thorough—thanks to Shari’s guidance—that we were not asked to send any additional proof of our relationship. She made our case swiftly and efficiently. What we especially appreciated was how caring, patient and available Shari was. My wife was stressed out because she was the one who had to meet with immigration officials for the interview. (My wife applied from Montreal and did her interview at the U.S. consulate there.) Shari talked her through the interview process and gave her a clear sense of what to expect and how to prepare, and much to my wife’s relief, it all played out as Shari described. We love Shari Moidel!!! (Please note: I am a writer and only wanted to use one exclamation point, but my wife insisted on three.)
