Made my life easier. Highly Professional and equally well versed in the field.

I'm a recent grad student. I had questions regarding my job offer and the Post Completion OPT. Not only did Emily give her valuable time to listen carefully to my problems, but she also corrected my understanding of the situation, calming me down and telling me why I should not be worried. She gave t...hree possible options that I can go ahead with: A best-case scenario, a second-best case scenario if the first one doesn't work, and a worst-case scenario to prepare for as a contingency plan. I was surprised by the length and breadth of the knowledge + experience that came across while I was listening to her advice. Emily is inarguably the best immigration person I've ever worked with. I would hands-down recommend her for any kind of immigration situation you encounter. She's my permanent immigration lawyer now. There are very few professionals in this field that, in addition to excellent knowledge, also come with a great attitude and a lot of positive energy.

Excellent professional with human kindness

I went to Dr Cohen for a consultation of my immigration status. She does free first consultations for F1 visa as well. She was very punctual at the time of the appointment which is for me the first sign of professionalism. During the meeting she explained me all my options in a very clear and detaile...d way being very honest on what is possible to pursue and what is not. I think this shows how confident she is on her work trajectory and also this inspire sense of trust in their clients. I did not need further working with her under her own recommendation but I definitely will go back to her office if I see myself in a need of legal assistance.

Excellent attorney! Remarkable service!

I hired this attorney on two occasions. On both occasions, the service was excellent and rendered in the most professional way. Attorney Cohen is very knowledgeable and highly reliable. I would strongly recommend her to anybody needing an immigration attorney.

Amazing attorney!

Emily Cohen took care of my immigration needs throughout the years, helping me obtain my green card and later on US citizenship. Every time I met with her she made every step of the process very clear. Her staff handled all documents in a quick and flawless fashion. She coached me before each immi...gration interview, making sure everything go smoothly. All of this she did in a friendly, caring way. I cannot recommend her enough time wit I cannot recommend her enough.
