Green card success

Frieda was an absolute pleasure to deal with during the Green card process for my family. We were always able to reach her by phone/e-mail, and she also helped to calm us down during this stressful process. Frieda compiled all the information we needed and prepared us for the Green card interview ver...y well. She was with us every step of the way and my family is grateful to her for winning the case!

Removal of the conditional residency after the divorce

I had a pleasure working with Frieda Goldstein on my case for the removal of the conditional residency after the divorce. Originally, I filled all paperwork on my own 2 years after receiving my first green card, but after receipt of RFE letter from immigration I decided to get a lawyer. I spent a lot... of time researching for a right attorney and based on all reviews and recommendations I decided that Pozo Goldstein Attorneys were the right people to contact. Several attorneys had advised me that my case was too complex and couldn't guarantee that I would pass my second interview. (In short - I received my green card thru a marriage with American citizen, me and my former spouse were living in two different states due to the work and college obligations, and after 2.5 years of marriage I filled for a divorce). The whole RFE response package to the immigration was very thoroughly prepared, organized and I got very well prepared by attorney for my interview. There is nothing negative that I could say about my whole experience working with Ms. Goldstein, very polite, organized, well informed, always available via e-mail & text messages, positive person which gave me a lot of confidence and positive energy prior my interview. I would absolutely recommend Frieda Goldstein for any of your immigration needs or advises.

The Best Immigration Attorney To Have By Your Side

Frieda Goldstein is an extremely knowledgable and respected immigration attorney. Mrs Goldstein guided us through a very complicated immigration case which resulted in getting U.S. Citizenship. Her understanding and compassion, coupled with her tenacity and dedication, makes Frieda the attorney yo...u want fighting for you. Thank goodness we found her!! We are so grateful to Frieda and her team at Pozo- Goldstein. No words can express our gratitude.

If there was a category above excellent I would have checked it.

I went to several attorneys before I found Frieda thru a referral and she should have been my first stop! No or I don't know was not in her vocabulary. I was dealing with an asylum case and a permanent resident situation and she walked us thru it with great details and told us what to expect. Beca...use of her expertise and knowledgably staff, when the paperwork was submitted it was almost no time until the asylum was granted and the work permit then green card in hand. When others said not possible, Frieda not only said yes we can try but got it done and done quickly. Being formerly with the Immigration Service, she knows what is needed. She truly represents the needs of her clients and I could never have been any happier with their service and the outcome. All those jokes about lawyers don't fit Frieda Goldstein. She is whom I will always want in my corner.
