Asylum Application

I got referred to Frieda through a church member and from the very first consultation… she encouraged me that she had the firm would do their best to get a favorable outcome from our application… I remember the days I was worried and would cry to her on the phone, but she kept encouraging me.. she ...gave me strength to keep going.. she put together the application packet so professionally, when I saw it and read through… was amazed.. She and her team I would recommend any day anytime…she prepared me emotionally, psychologically for the Asylum interview… she was always positive til we got the approval.. Our asylum application was submitted August 2021 and approved February 2022.. I couldn’t believe it.. but yes Frieda and her team made this happen… this win is for them as much as it is for me. Thank you so much Frieda…. Thank you so much Pozo Goldstein You all are amazing

THANK YOU - VAWA and Green Card Approved

Frieda Goldstein is an amazing lawyer! She is knowledgeable, professional and very empathetic. Frieda and her office got my VAWA petition and green card approved without any RFEs. They reviewed and filed my VAWA petition that consisted of 300+ pages in less than a month, and the petition was approve...d in 14 months. Frieda also prepared me for the green card interview and stayed in touch with me throughout the whole process which took 2+ years. What differentiates Frieda and her team from other lawyers, is that Frieda and Tina (paralegal) were always available to answer any questions I had. They replied to my emails the same day, sometimes even on Sundays! Thank you so much Frieda and Tina for helping me to start a new chapter in my life. I will always refer my friends who need assistance with immigration matters to you. THANK YOU!!!

Highly Recommended!!!

I was referred to Frieda Goldstein by a family friend in April 2016 and from the very moment I walked out of my initial consultation, I knew right away that if anyone would be representing me, it would be her. I hired her because she demonstrates vast experience in immigration law, showed empathy aft...er learning about my situation and very passionate about what she does. One of the best things about working with Frieda is that she’s accessible and always available to answer my concerns each time I reached out to her via email or phone. With her help, my immigration case came to a successful close in summer of 2019. I highly recommend Frieda Goldstein and her firm, Pozo Goldstein LLP.

Professionalism

Going through a divorce is never easy, especially if you are an immigrant husband. Pozo Goldstein’s team walked me through every step of the way until I got my 10 years permanent green card. They were always available for my phone calls, emails and questions. Most importantly Frieda and Tina used the...ir professional experience to win my case. I thank them from bottom of my heart and so grateful that I have chosen their service. Their tremendous help and support was much needed comfort during my hardship with my ex-wife. It is my privilege to highly recommend Pozo Goldstein team to anyone who needs a professional approach to their critical immigration cases.

Results guaranteed!

I honestly thought my life was over before I met Frieda Goldstein. I was frustrated and angry with the system. This deportation case took me through hell and back but she remained positive and professional throughout my rants. She's diligent, kindhearted, knowledgeable, and an overall beautiful hum...an being. She worked really hard to get my case dismissed. I am proud to say last week I became a United States Citizen. If I didn't seek her help I wouldn't be this happy today. I would 100% recommend Mrs. Frieda Goldstein. I will forever be thankful for all she has done for me. :-)
