Vanessa Elaine Caruso

Back in 2014 when I was referred to a law firm that Vanessa worked in, I was anxious and nervous of the entire process. She wasn't the one who initially took my case and things dragged for a while, then one day I called to see what I needed to do to speed things up only to be told that the paralegal ...assigned to my case left and now I was to work with Vanessa. I considered leaving the firm but agreed to the appointment anyways. That was probably one of the BEST decisions I have ever made, agreeing to that meeting with Vanessa. Immediately she made me feel at ease, walked me through all the steps we would be going through and set goals and deadlines. She did in 10 mins what the person before her couldn't do in weeks. In the days to follow she wrote me emails with reminders and progress reports without even my prompting! She had everything firmly in her control and figured out. We managed to file in the nick of time and every filing since then has been accepted by USCIS/DHS . No RFEs and no rejections which can cause delays to the tune of months if not years due to the backlog. Goes into showing how thorough she is with meeting the strict requirements of immigration documentation. She accompanied me to an impromptu I.C.E appointment and waited with me for hours despite her busy schedule. That moment has stayed with me, as that was the most trying moment of my life. Seeing her there made me know that everything would work out and since then she earned the name V. from V for Vendetta. because she was my hero. Over the months that followed she kept in touch caring for my wellbeing and progress reminding me of important things like getting my EAD or its renewal. It is because of her individualized touch and commitment that I am not afraid to recommend her to all who are going through the complicated process of Immigration. Her knowledge and expertise has proven to be valuable for my case, from the mundane to the complex. Just recently, not once but twice she sat by me on a criminal case I was involved in when she did not have to. Her assurances not just by words but by action and demonstration has taken me a long way in this nerve wrecking journey. That is why I am more than happy to continue with her on this journey as she starts her own practice and feel more honored that she’s my lawyer.
