Immigration application

I engaged Dana's law firm to expedite the green card application for my wife. Her thoroughness along with timely responses and generally going that extra mile made the experience a truly fluid one. Thanks Dana.

Efficient, professional lawyers who gets the job done.

We hired Ms. Davidson to help one of our employees get a visa. She was always professional and attentive. She was able to explain the process and make sure my employee was prepared for his interview. She ensured that he had all necessary supporting documentation so our employee was able to obtain... the visa.

An Attorney that you can Trust

I've worked with Dana now for about 10 years, and she is exceptional. We consider her a part of the family because she takes such great care of our needs. As a business owner, I've worked with many lawyers, accountants and other professionals. Dana and her firm represent the cream of the crop. Th...ey may not be the biggest firm, or the highest profile firm but they score off-the-charts in professionalism and character. Always following up with me in a timely manner; Being proactive with their communication; Understanding my personal situation and giving me tailored specific advice (not the cookie-cutter text-book style advice that you can find on google) After college, Dana helped me secure my first 'F' visa. Then a year later, my first H1-B, then the second... and most recently my Permanent Residency. In truth, I've never had to worry about my immigration status because I've had Dana on my side giving me sound advice and counsel. Dana represents that rarefied breed of professional that combines competency with genuine concern and caring. I give Dana and her crew my highest recommendation.

An Exemplary Immigration Attorney

Dana is extremely thorough and pays attention to all the finer details. She looks at a problem from all angles and plans accordingly. Because of this excellent approach, the incidence of RFE's is very low, thus making the immigration process smooth. She is easily approachable. Her team is very ef...ficient and prompt. It was a pleasure working with her and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an immigration attorney.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

I would highly recommenced Dana to anyone who is looking for an immigration attorney. She is thorough and accurate and makes sure all the i are dotted. She was sensitive to the needs of this case, especially since it was rejected previously. She answered all of our inquiries on a timely basis and ...quelled all the anxieties that we might have had. After working with her initially, i developed a sense of confidence that she would get the job done.

"Dana is an amazing immigration attorney. Not only does she have a firm understanding and ability with respect to multiple areas of immigration law, she brings the intangible characteristics that turn a good lawyers into a great one. She is caring, communicates well and understands the subtle and often finicky nature of benefits adjudications. There is no question that Dana is among the best of the best and I fully recommend her services and attest to her ability."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
