THE BEST

Melissa was highly recommended to me by a friend and hiring her was one of the best decision I could have ever made for me and my family. Meeting with her for the consultation at first I was very nervous, but that lasted up until I met her. She reassured me right away that everything will be fine.... She was very professional ,calm,and patient which helped me to relax and feel comfortable to ask question. She walked me through the filing processes of what I needed to do in order obtain my permanent resident status. She help me through the interview (which she attended with me) she prepared my husband and I for the interview which was great She also worked with me when it was time to file for petition to remove conditions on my residency card. She's amazing. I called her every time I had a question and she will always answer or return my call asap. She is the best,in the end off course I got my permanent residency.

Top class, intelligent and well informed attorney

Melissa is a very knowledgeable attorney with experience in complicated immigration cases. Before Melissa, my immigration lawyer caused my case to be stuck for more five years. He didn't file the case properly and it was denied. After firing him and hiring Melissa, she had the case approved and green... card granted one year later. If you are looking for an effective attorney, she is the one for you. Her fees are also reasonable. She responds to emails and calls promptly. She is not like those attorneys that you can't reach and their paralegal makes you call 100 times before you can get a word in. She is a down to earth, beautiful soul. She is truthful and you should hire her. She communicates. For me, she is the best immigration attorney in all of NY. She delivers results!
