Professional and Highly Recommended

I am glad I had Francine helping me on my working visa application. She is a professional, detail-oriented, deligent and responsible lawyer. Francine frequently communicated with me, timely responded my queries, and kept me updated at every steps throughout the process. I highly recommend Francine f...or your immigration or business related legal matters!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TRUTHFUL AND EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY

I could not wish to have my case handle by better hands than hers. Francine is so involve in your case that you feel comfortable at the first approach. Base on the experience I have with her I will highly recommend anyone in need of an attorney to contact her, because she takes all her time to work i...n your case to satisfy you while following the law. With her as attorney, there is no more stress and so, was even surprise to realize that I could contact her at any time of the day and she will be ready to answer to you.

Fast, efficient, and precise

I hired Francine to write a strongly worded non-payment letter to compel a former employer to pay me back wages. I was very nervous about the process, but Francine was quick and responsive in both crafting the letter and advising me on a course of action. She was even responsive on a holiday weekend,... even though it wasn't a high-paying assignment. I'm grateful for her!

Thorough and gets the job done!

I am owed a lump some of money from freelance work I have done. Francine got a letter out for me in less than 24 hours and it didn't miss a beat.

Francine is a lifesaver

Francine Prewitt is an outstanding and clearly one of the best in the field of immigration law, based on our experience. We (my spouse and I) got our Green cards approved with Francine Prewitt representing us. After being stuck in the black hole of immigration backlog for many years, we had almost g...iven up hope for any resolution soon, until we got in touch with Francine Prewitt . She assured us that cross-chargeability would work in our case and that there was light at the end of the tunnel. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Francine Prewitt as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. Her approaches were realistic and optimistic . We were given the entire, bigger picture, before focusing on the specifics of our case, which gave us a sound understanding of the whole, and confidence in Francine's ability to pursue our case. I appreciate her for being approachable, extremely professional and pushing relentlessly for the success of our filing. Personally, I do not feel we could be in better hands, and sometimes regret that we could’ve easily shaved off at least a year of waiting in the backlog if we had approached her earlier. Can’t thank her enough. Highly recommended!
