MAGICIAN!

Jane is impeccable!! All thanks to Jane's magnificent work, I had two successful O1 visa approvals. I can't express how grateful I am. My case was incredibly difficult and I knew I was at the borderline. Before finding Jane, I tried two other lawyers and as soon as I had my consultation with her, I k...new she was THE one I'm supposed to work with. There was no doubt. She was above and beyond compared to the other lawyers I have worked with. I have been working with Jane for years and I will continue to use her services. If you are looking for O1, Jane is your to-go lawyer. You will not regret it.

Awesome Lawyer!

As a classical concert pianist, I was so fortunate to have Jane as my attorney to get my O1 b visa. In the last years the bar for this visa has raised a lot, Jane warned me about it in the beginning before starting the process. We started the process in July and the case was filed in the first part o...f September. I got the approval in November without any request for evidence or any other problem. During the application process, she guided me to get all the documents that I needed, giving me very clear instructions about details that I could not even imagine. She was so meticulous that she didn't file until the documents were prepared in the way that she wanted. The communication was excellent. During the application process I asked her a lot of questions and she always answered me very quickly. She let me know all the fees at the beginning and there was no surprise. Her fee is more than fair compared to her service. It was very evident all the work that she put for the case. I highly recommend Jane and I would hire her in the future without any hesitation if I need an immigration attorney.

0-1 visa

Ms. Orgel might be a good lawyer but communication is very poor. For my visa process I have talked many immigration lawyers. Almost all of them respond my mails in a very reasonable time. But we couldn't have the same sync with Ms. Orgel unfortunately. I paid most expensive consultation fee I have ev...er seen to her and of course expect better service. So knowledge or experience doesn't mean everything, lawyers need to understand clients situation as well.

Excellent attorney, someone you can trust blindly

Jane helped me secure my O1 visa in the business category. I was introduced to her through my company who assured me that she was the best O1 lawyer in the country. Over the period of 6 months, she helped me navigate through every step of the complex process. She was extremely thorough and detail...s oriented. She would review each of my testimonial letters in great detail and directly work with me/my recommenders to iterate them to make sure that I was getting the best recommendations. When I got an RFE (thanks to the recent administration), she worked hard to respond to each and every of the issues raised by the USCIS. As an applicant, you might think that you are doing most of the heavy lifting by securing all the letters and documents, but you would be surprised at how much extra work she puts behind the scenes into every application. In my case, she was even able to secure an industry expert and have her review my case to further improve my application! If she has taken up your case, you can be assured that she will be personally invested in your success till the end. Without doubt, she is extremely knowledgable and experienced at her work. Her success rates speak for themselves. She is also very approachable, honest and kind. She was patient with all my (at times, random) queries and was able to respond to most of my emails within a few hours. By the end, I felt I could trust her completely with my case. I feel extremely fortunate to have found her and would continue to work with her for all my immigration-related needs from now on. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney.

Just got my third 3 years O1 Visa with Jane!

I've been working with Jane for almost a decade. She is the best immigration lawyer that I know. Before working with her, other lawyers told me that I would never get the O1 Visa and I'm happy to say that I proved them wrong 3 times! Jane is VERY straight forward, honest, no frills and gets the job d...one. Her assistant, Stephanie did an amazing job! When she went through my material, she made sure that everything was clear and presented in the best way possible. She is also very patient, she got back to my numerous emails in a timely manner. Jane is professional and extremely knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone searching for an immigration lawyer
