Sara is a fantastic lawyer!

Sarah helped up collect and submit all the necessary documents we needed to submit to the government to help my husband apply for permanent citizenship. She also prepared for our interview. She was very organized, efficient, and supportive through the whole process. We would have been very stressed a...nd confused without her work.

She helped me navigate the government bureaucracy and keep me focused and calm when I felt overwhelmed. I recommend he...r very highly.

Green Card Application

Sara represented my husband as he applied for adjustment of status. She was accessible, detail-oriented, and efficient throughout the process. When preparing our application, she provided concrete checklists and personalized consultation meetings that helped us stay organized. We are located out of ...state, so she was even able to assist via email and Zoom. Her fee structure is reasonable and transparent, and she went above and beyond by attending our interview telephonically. We would highly recommend Sara as a trustworthy immigration attorney.

Well-knowledged and Nice to Work with

Initially, we hired Sara as our attorney for my visa reinstatement case. We were caught by the situation off guard. A friend of mine recommended her and we connected immediately. We found she was extremely easy to work with. She was very patient and knew how to ask good questions. So she understood m...y case really well and explained to us clearly what to do and what to expect. The situation turned out to be very complex and time-consuming. We were frustrated along the way, but Sara worked very actively with us and did thorough researches to answer all kinds of questions. We had to deal with the court quite often and it was an all-new experience for us. Sara walked alongside every step and provided professional yet easy-to-understand counsel all the way. Although she worked extremely hard for my case, we had to go through a tougher situation due to policy changes. I had to leave the US and applying for an immigration visa abroad while my husband stayed here. Even though there was a 12-hour time difference, Sara worked around our schedules and video-chatted with us whenever needed. While we were waiting for the decision, we would come up with all sorts of questions and whenever we shot an email to her, we would receive her response very quickly. Her responsiveness helped cast out our anxiety. Thankfully, we received the expected result. I got my immigration visa granted. My husband and I finally reunited in the States. We were so grateful for Sara's help. We could not make it without her! And we believe that with her caring character and professional enthusiasm, she will be a great help and blessing to many people in the future.

Professional, kind and honest.

Mrs Abdullah went above and beyond to help me figure out our options with Asylum. She is very honest and kind. No lawyer may redirect you to some "free or discounted" legal services, but Sara did. She spent full 2 hours in my consultation to help me understand our case and our best options. Now, I'm ...thinking seriouslly of hiring her because after one year of various consultations no one give me the information and credibilty she did.
