Review for Ms. Oswald

Ms. Oswald and her assistant was very helpful in every way. Whenever I had concern or questions she and her assistant were quick to respond and put me at ease. They prepared me very well for what I needed and I think it paid off and as result everything went very smoothly. I really didn't have to wo...rry about ANYTHING. I highly recommend Ms. Oswald.

Former employee's review

I worked for Danielle Beach during my first and second years of law school, and as a fellow legal professional, I can attest to the fact that Danielle is a fantastically knowledgeable and hard working attorney who has written numerous scholarly articles on immigration-related matters. Danielle is tru...ly a brilliant litigator, and I was continually impressed by her ability to come up with solutions to complex legal problems that had left other attorneys scratching their heads. Danielle is not only an outstanding lawyer, but also a kind and caring individual who connects with her clients on a personal level. I am grateful to Danielle for everything that she has taught me, and am happy to recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice for their immigration matters.

Immigration law at its best

Ms. Beach is one of the most respected immigration lawyers in the Washington, DC metro area. She has a great reputation with all the US federal agencies involved in the enforcement of immigration law, including USCIS and the US Immigration Courts. Her thorough knowledge of immigration law and pers...onal attention to her clients are the assurance of her nearly 100% success rate. My wife and I were among her clients whose dream of becoming US citizens would not have come true without Ms. Beach's professional assistance.

Affable, Stupendous, Firm, Reliable, Dependable, Trustworthy

For over four years the process to become a US citizen was stalled due to complications of incorrect adjustment. Every attorney I approached to take on this case declined, citing the practical impossibilities and obvious ''unwinnability.' I was discouraged and never thought I would ever become a ci...tizen. I was introduced to Attorney Beach-Oswald in the early part of 2009 and by the last quarter of 2010, my citizenship application was approved. We went through some very difficult interviews, rebuttals, hearings, etc. but at the end of the day, she stood by me and my family every step of the way. I am humbled to say that 'I am now a citizen of the United States.' Thank you Danielle ... you are awesome!!!

Ms. Beach helped my husband and I with our I-130 and we couldn't have been happier - very trustworthy, competent, and got the job done well!

"Danielle is a spectacular immigration attorney who deserves every point of that 10.0 rating. Her care for her clients and her respect for fellow counsel is nothing short of outstanding. She is thorough, knowledgeable, experienced, and makes time for her clients. The list of important decisions she has garnered is a testament to her dedication to the practice of immigration law and her care for immigrants and their familys.

"I've known Danielle professionally for many years. She has tirelessly represented immigrants from many parts of the world. She is well known among her peers and is a keen advocate for noncitizens who are in removal proceedings. I have associated with Danielle in legislative-related matters proving her concern is not only executing laws related to her clients, but shaping them as well. I have also worked with Danielle in Maryland driver's license policy issues. I would highly recommend her for your immigration needs."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
