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.

Very helpful and responsive

My company was doing first time H1 B visa and I am glad that I chose Gonzales & Tiagha. Shanna and Peter are responsive with all necessary information. They had answer for each question. Shanna had done great job specially when I received RFE. She prepared my all RFE documents very well to make su...re that I will get approval. I appreciate her time and effort in my case. I will definitely recommend her. She is the best in her work.

Extremely satisfied

I'm an MBA prospect, with a sensitive nationality, and I entered the country on a student visa. I decided later on to pursue a spouse-based application for permanent residency. I started looking around for a competent immigration lawyer to advise me of the more complicated aspics of immigration law. ...After few unsatisfying encounters with other lawyers, I was very fortunate to land upon the Gonzales & Tiagha team. Ms. Stanton was fantastic. She advised, prepared and processed my green card application. It was a stress free process. I appreciate the fact that the Gonzales & Tiagha team were very welcoming, accessible, and responsive, but most importantly that they were flexible with my payment installments. They also advised me to take a different step witch secured me a US green card that's valid for a longer period of what I've initially was asking for! I'm extremely satisfied. Without any hesitation, they're my go-to for any legal issue, highly recommended.
