Good Attorney also a good human being

There are a lot of successful lawyers in New York but few of them are patient and accommodating like Licelle Cobrador. If you are looking for a experienced lawyer Licelle is one of them. I was so confident knowing that she will be handling my Extra ordinary category visa application(EB1). I successf...ully got my Green Card approved in the next few months.-- SHAFAWAT KHAN SHAFU

Not just a job

I definitely made the right decision to hire Licelle Cobrador as my immigration lawyer because my EB-1 visa has been granted and I have my green card already. She is definitely a top notch lawyer. At 40 years old, she already has her own law firm and a stable of incredible talented clients from all o...ver the world. She knows every nook and cranny of immigration law. She knows what needs to be done, how to do it and when to do it. Her work ethic is unparalleled to the point she sacrifices personal time to meet deadlines for clients which need special attention. She is very thorough with every aspect of her clients’ case. She doesn’t just depend on what her clients provide her with, she makes her own research and really understands her clients’ countries, cultures and industries for her to know how to make the case. There is no doubt about her skills as an immigration lawyer but what separate Licelle from most lawyers is that she listens to her clients and she cares for them. When she meets with potential clients, she doesn’t offer or promise them the mountains and heavens through granting them EB-1 visa or O-1 visa, she asks them what their hopes, dreams, plans and intentions and then discusses their options. She listens to what they need and doesn’t just advise them to apply for anything so that they could hire her services. This is because she cares about her clients. She guides her clients through every step of the way from filing of the application, getting medical examination, reviewing documents and guiding clients before any USCIS appointments/interviews. Your relationship with her doesn’t end after getting the visa because she continues to keep contact by checking on her clients’ lives – always wanting to get updated with what’s happening to them. To a certain degree, she becomes a career adviser and personal confidant. Immigration law is not just a job for Licelle Cobrador, it is her advocacy. It is her way of helping people have a better life. It is her way of helping people of extra-ordinary abilities and their families have better opportunities in life. It is her way of being a person for others. Immigration law is her way of making a difference in this world.

Best guidance

My husband and I are very greatful we’ve hired Marie Licelle Razalo Cobrador. Licelle has made the whole process very quick and smooth for my husband to receive his green card in such a small time frame. She has guided us from start to finish from removing his asylum to ensuring we had all the prop...er documents. Licelle is efficient, professional, responsive, intelligent and most importantly really showed how much she genuinely cared about us and our case. I really don’t know how we would have completed this process without her by our side every step of the way. I’m truly thankful for all she has done and we look forward to continuing to work with her. Sincerely client

Highly Recommended Immigration Lawyer

Licelle is a highly experienced and professional lawyer. She is extremely good at what she does and I have been working with her for under a year now and my case has just been approved without any problem! Before speaking to her, I've met 4 different lawyers and they all told me the same strategy or ...option of applying for a O1 visa. However, Licelle was very knowledgable in immigration field and proposed an even better solution to apply for EB-1 visa which means I don't need a company to sponsor me. She was the only lawyer that I talked to who understood my strengths and capabilities, before proposing a solution. During the process, it was really easy to reach Licelle and her assistant Mamphi (she is a great and very sweet person as well), which I experienced before with other lawyers can be a great pain. Immigration is a long and stressful journey and it is always good to feel like you can reach your support systems easily. I can't thank Licelle and her team enough for everything they have done for me and I highly recommend them for any immigration related issues.

Reliable, efficient and experienced!

Atty. Cobrador is one of those rare lawyers who has the compassion and the willingness to sit down to find the best possible legal solution to your problem. She helped me navigate the complex immigration, and later on, naturalization process, by providing me insights, realistic and timely expectation...s of the results, accessibility to her professional opinions (you can actually call her anytime!) and helping me understand complicated legal jargons and requirements. Atty. Licelle is just simply amazing and hiring her is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life! Thanks Attorney!
