Green card petition

We met with Shari for the initial consultation and decided to go forward with her for our same sex green card petition. Shari was patient and responsive and put us at ease. The best thing about her services is that she is easily contactable and you always get an answer to any question. Shari, however... excelled at the green card interview, she was great. She sat with us and listened intensely during our interview, we felt safe with her taking care of us. Our GC petition was approved, thank you Shari.

Quickly and confidently guided us through the process to US residency:

After our same-sex marriage in Quebec last year, my wife and I were very excited that DOMA was struck down and that she could now obtain residency in the US. We examined the process on our own and found it to be daunting. We had one major concern: my wife had been stopped and turned back at a por...t of entry several years ago. It was extremely important that we find the right attorney! It was our good fortune to locate Shari Moidel. She is licensed in both the US and Quebec. We contacted her at the end of December 2013, and now, five months later, my wife has a Green Card! Shari met with us in a series of painless steps to ensure we had all the required documents submitted accurately and in a timely manner, that my wife would quickly receive a work permit and Social Security card, and that we had sufficient proof of the validity of our relationship. She prepared us extremely well for the interview with the immigration official. She organized us with all the necessary information to prepare for our interview. Her fee requirements were very reasonable and spaced throughout the process. Shari presented with a gentle manner and sense of humor which kept us relaxed and confident that all would go well. And it did! We highly recommend Shari Moidel to anyone seeking residency in the US.

My partner and I couldn't thank Shari enough

I have worked with Shari twice. Once resulted in a change of legal status that allowed my partner and I to live the life we wanted to live without the constraints of my being tied to my job for immigration. The second time was for applying for my permanent residence. Both experiences were entirely... less painless than expected, Shari was so helpful in providing us with the knowledge that we needed to make the right decisions for us, and making the paperwork process easy to navigate. We greatly appreciate Shari's work and would recommend and work with her again in a heartbeat.

Smart, dependable...gets results - I have a WORK VISA thanks to Shari Moidel

I have worked with Shari for four years. She turned potentially disastrous port of entry denial into a success, then later successfully into an extension allowing me to continue to work in the U.S. for the past 31/2 years. I will turn to Shari again when I require help obtaining a work or immigration... visa (Canada to the U.S.). She is easy to reach, fees are clear and fair - mostly she is someone I could talk to easily when it seemed my work life was coming apart.

recommendation

I write this review to recommend Ms. Moidel for business-related non-immigrant visas and green cards cases. As Chief Executive of a Florida-based signage design and manufacturing company, our relationship with Ms. Moidel began in 2002 to bring in managers, executives and specialized knowledge employe...es from our corporate affiliate in the Middle East.  She had a 100% success rate with 6 different files totaling 12 different applications. The majority were brought in on L-1 visas, followed by permanent resident applications. Ms. Moidel was able to switch tracks entirely and change status from E-2 (investor visa) to R-1 (religious worker) for an individual whose case was different and more complicated than most. Ms. Moidel is responsive, always available quickly by telephone or internet. She does her due diligence before starting a matter, to set a fair fee, always fixed, which is payable as pre-agreed-upon milestones are reached.  She is pleasant to work with and although I recently retired, I continue to give her name out.

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.

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.
