HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Caruso law group helped my wife with her immigration case. We found them online and without hesitation they took over our case. I was indeed pleased with the way Alison and Vanessa channeled their professionalism and intelligent in making our case go so smoothly with the immigration. We hired them ...around May 2021 and by September 2021, our case was approved by the USCIS. My wife is now a permanent resident and we are extremely happy we hired Caruso Law Group for our immigration issue.

Humanitarian Visa

Vanessa is an amazing attorney full of knowledge and compassion. She was always available to answer all my questions. Her assistant Alisson is an excellent writer. My husband's humanitarian visa application was extremely well written and told our story. The team is very professional and without a dou...bt will fight for your case. I wouldn't trust my immigration needs to anyone else.

Amazing immigration Lawyer

My husband and I hired Vanessa at Caruso Law to help with our adjustment of status application and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with her and her team. They were attentive, quick to respond and overall made this very stressful process so much easier. From the application to the... interview- I felt supported and all my questions were answered very quickly. Vanessa filled out and sent off our application on our behalf, she kept us updated with notices/correspondence with USCIS and helped us prepare for our interview. Although we didn't end up having her join us at the interview, that is a service she provides. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my choice to work with Vanessa and Allison at Caruso Law for my adjustment of status application and would recommend her to anyone. We were approved for my green card and we could not have done it without them !!

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.
