Couldn't Ask for A Better Team

Mrs. Dobosiewicz and Mr. Saccone were amazing to have as Immigration lawyers. I'm a person who likes to know who, what, when, where, why, and how. Every question no matter how small or dumb Elizabeth was there to answer my questions. She also responded to my emails very quickly which I really appreci...ated because I'm always on my email. When Elizabeth needed my documents and I was not sure she explained in detail so I fully understood what I needed and why I needed it. Up to the end when Kurt came with my wife and I to the interview it was very professional and knowledgeable. He was on time and ready for any last minute questions my wife and I had. His reassurance is what gave us the confidence we lacked that day. And again, no question was dumb when I asked him. He said ask me any question because no question is a dumb question. I would recommend Elizabeth and Kurt to anyone who has immigration issues or questions because they will give it to you straight. When your dealing with immigration issues/status I couldn't ask for a better team. I trust them fully and would recommend them to anyone who needs help with immigration issues/status.

Elizabeth took the fear out of the process! Thank you for your professionalism and expertise!

When my wife Nancy was looking to gain permanent residency in the United States, and particularly in New York State, we feared it would be a daunting task. For a moment, we thought this was something we could technically handle ourselves. I'm so glad we took a chance and made the call to Elizabeth.... She met with us promptly and helped us understand the very complex process around immigration. The timeline she gave us was fairly on target - and during the application and review process, all the way up to our meeting, she was patient will all our questions and attentive to our needs. Her representation was of the highest quality. I should have posted this review right away, but it is now two years since that initial immigration meeting with her and I have thought again and again over about how hiring her was just the best decision we could have made!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
