Very good lawyer with prompt actions.

My company has filed my H1B through Shanna. She was quite responsive and kept me informed through entire process. Finally , my H1B got approved last week. I had special request for Shanna during mailing of documents to USCIS. She did it in that way and things worked out good. Finally , I can say S...hanna is Client friendly lawyer who can be trusted.

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

You're in good hands with Shanna.

When Peter moved on to bigger and better things near the end of our case, and left us in Shanna's hands, my wife and I were a little nervous at first. Shanna proved to be very patient and an excellent lawyer. When we found out at the interview that the i693 was not filled out properly, Shanna went ou...t of her way to hand deliver the corrected form the next morning. We received the approval in the mail two days later. We couldn't have been happier.

Verry Happy! We got our Green Card No problem!

I don't usually give a 100% to anyone in terms of a review, but in this case it is warranted. The whole process of getting our green card was enjoyable and easy with this firm and Shanna from day one. We didn't even retain them at first and they were still kind to assist us. They deserved our busi...ness, and they earned it! We have a young baby and really were afraid that we would be unable to keep my husband in the country for a few reasons, but in the end we worked it all out and the firm was kind to assist in all of our inquiries and helped us to change our status from B-2 Visa to Green card!!! THANK YOU SHANNA. I have already helped Shanna retain another client from France (a friend) and I would tell others to use her and this firm as well.
