She is a GREAT attorney!!!!!

I received my green card very recently and it took only a little more than 3 months. Shanna is professional, knowledgeable, responsive & accurate. She prepared all of my documents and checked them all very carefully. I felt very comfortable with her during my immigration process even though I di...dn't have some of the documents that are common. Shanna handled everything so easily. She knew the way perfectly and explained everything to me with care and kindness. I am so satisfied with her work and really appreciate her expertise and diligence.

Professional

I started working with Shanna Stanton about 3 years ago and I wasn't dissapointed. She helped me with the green card application and accompanied me to the interview. My case wasn't usual - my husband wasn't able to attend the interview with me. Shanna had a solution for this unusuall problem and she ...was wonderful representing me and my husband. She is a very knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy lawyer. She was very quick to respond if I had any questios and kept me updated with my case status. I would definitely recomend Shanna Stanton to anybody with immigration issues.

Got my green card in 5 months!

My husband (US citizen) and me (F-1 visa holder) applied for my green card on May 2012. We had a consultation with Shanna to go over the application process and expectations. She took the time to revise our forms and documents, and organized our application. At all times she was very professional, ef...ficient and knowledgeable on the green card process. While the application was in process I contacted her several times to go over my paperwork. working permit and advance parole notices. She responded immediately and was always very professional. I got my green card without delays or problems on September 2012. I already recommended Shanna to 2 of my closest friends. She is an excellent lawyer and I recommend her without hesitations.

Getting my Chinese wife a Greencard

I looked around and spoke with several different lawyers to help in the process of getting my wife a green-card. She was coming from China and I just didn't want to take the chance and do it myself but wanted to let a professional do the job and therefore have it done correctly the first time. I wa...s given a referral to use the firm of Gonzales and Tiagha and I am very glad I did as from the very first meeting I felt extremely comfortable with Shanna Stanton and Peter Gonzales. Shanna was always very professional and courteous and responded to my emails or phone calls in a very timely matter. At no time during the process did I feel as if I was being ignored or put on the back burner. She always took the time to fully explain the answers to any questions I had regarding the process, the status of the case etc. She also took the time to lay out the entire process and what we could expect to happen and when those things should happen if there were no problems. She also explained what our options were in case we did run into trouble during the process and just generally made me feel relaxed and confident during what could have been a very trying time in my and my wife's life. Shanna and the firm of Gonzales and Tiagha did a great job and I have no problem at all in giving her the highest marks possible in this review. I also have no problem in saying that by choosing Shanna to help you that you have made a wise decision and will not come to regret it!

Thorough with Knowledge and Professionalism and extremely customer service oriented

When I decided that I was going to start my HR Consulting business one year ago, Shanna Stanton contacted me to get some preliminary information. She was extremely thorough and knowledgeable on the process and her follow up is par excellent. Each time that I have interacted with Mrs. Stanton, I rece...ive the same level of professionalism which is the reason that I trust all of my business legal affairs and paperwork to Shanna and Gonzalez Tiagha. I would refer her again and again
