Immigration Assistance
My husband and I felt so overwhelmed when we decided to move to the United States from Switzerland and, in doing so, seek a Green Card for him. Even though we had been married for more than 30 years, the process seemed impossibly difficult. Then a friend recommended that we seek help from her lawyer,...
"I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Chan. She is extremely conscientious, knows the ins and outs of immigration law, and works diligently to obtain the best results for her clients. In the case we worked on together, her strategic planning resulted in our client's expeditious release from custody."
"Evangeline M. Chan was recently a guest on my weekly radio show, "Law You Should Know" to discuss the many types of non-immigrant visas. In interviewing her for the show I found her not only extremely knowledgeable but able to communicate complex information in a manner her clients can understand. I know from interviewing hundreds of lawyers that few attorneys are able to do this."
"I endorse this lawyer. Evangeline is one of the most detail oriented and through lawyers in the profession. She gives every case more than her 100% and will find legal solutions that are best suited for her clients' needs. I would most definitely recommend her to clients seeking immigration assistance."
"As a former Assistant Chief Counsel for the Department Of Homeland Security I have had the privaledge to watch Attorney Chan practice immigration law for several years. Attorney Chan is knoweldgable and very professional. She has an excellent relationship with her clients. I endorse this lawyer."
