Excellent Experience

My husband and I were looking for an attorney to help with the permanent resident process between Canada and the US. Lisa was excellent! From the first day we met her we felt extremely confident she knew what she was doing. Our process with her took only 9 months and we were very pleased. I would... recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

TN Visa - Technical Publications Writer

Lisa was fantastic to work with. She recently helped me secure a TN Visa under the Technical Publications Writer category. I'm a Canadian with a Masters degree in Broadcast Journalism and a Bachelor of Arts. I was previously on an L1 (or intra-company transfer visa), already living in New York, NY a...nd wanted to accept a new position working for a communications design firm in Manhattan. She helped me navigate the process, highlight my experience accordingly and secure all of the necessary documentation to build my application. Lisa met me at the Peace Bridge border between Buffalo, NY and Ontario, Canada. Everything went according to the plan/procedure that Lisa described when we first spoke. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to secure a TN Visa.

She is extremely thorough in her work and makes sure that everything is covered off so that there are no surprises. I would highl...y recommend her to anyone who is looking to have someone take care of their legal matters and get the job done in a timely and efficient manner.
