spectacular results ***

Another attorney told me I would not be able to resolve the worst tenant situation I've ever had.... This is a very experienced and shrewd attorney who told me there was no point to even try... The tenant was incredibly nasty and causing enormous problems... it was an awful situation... Then ...someone told me about Sylvia... I was very skeptical... but I had nothing to lose. When I 1st spoke to Sylvia I instantly felt a twinge of hope because she was so specific and confident as to what she could do. And she is very practical and did not promise anything or sound grandiose. And then within 1 week*** of hiring Sylvia, I got a reaction after weeks of silence. Only a few short weeks later the situation resolved ... quite frankly I am still shocked because the first attorney said: "I guarantee you cant do anything." Well... Sylvia did it! The relief I feel is indescribable, In addition to paying far far less than I would have with the other attorney who was completely useless. I hardly ever post a review but I am doing it because she truly changed my life.

client

Sylvia is a very professional immigration attorney and also an amazing person. She helped me go through my urgent/tough H1B process and I deeply appreciate that. I was able to file my H1B petition at the end (and also got my H1B) because of her efforts and helps. She has also given valuable advice to... my friends who had other visa/immigration problems. Highly recommend Sylvia to anyone who's seeking for a good immigration attorney!
