Thank You!!

The immigration process is not fun, but having a legal expert as a representative like Danielle is very reassuring. This has been a very difficult process to go through, but Danielle Beach helped us through the process with detailed information involving our case, and how she was handling it. Words c...annot express our appreciation for Danielle's expertise as an immigration lawyer and we say thank you for finally putting an end to this. Above all, Danielle respectfully, responsibly, and wholesomely kept her fiduciary duties. We say thanks to you and your team for your relentless efforts. Thank you!!

The best professional immigration lawyer ever

When I came to Danielle Beach, I was facing removal proceedings after a long stay in the United States. My case was one of the most complicated cases which, according to an asylum officer, such cases appear before them like one in ten years. Danielle Beach's law office was packed with the professiona...ls that gave hope to me both in their professionalism and their respect for clients. Upon the entire time that I've been with them they attended to all my needs and answered all my questions politely and always kept me informed about the progress of my case. I had a lawyer before who was never there when I needed him. Daniel Beach and her associates worked with me every step of the way in the most difficult asylum case until the approval. Even beyond that, she still helps me with legal advice.

EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, POLITE, CHARMING, PROFESSIONAL IMMIGRATION LAWYER DANIELLE BEACH

Mrs. Danielle Beach is an excellent immigration lawyer. No matter how complex you case may be, call Mrs. Beach and she will look for a solution. I have known her for more than 20 years, and with her, all my immigration worries were put to rest. There is no better way to say THANK YOU Danielle than wr...iting this review.

Most of these reviews are fake

We consulted with Danielle on an immigration case for my wife recently and she seemed intent in scaring us into spending a lot of money based on interpreting my wife's case in the most drastic manner possible. As I have come to understand the law better, I believe she was making statements that were ...really not well-informed but were certainly alarmist. She also started out with a very high price based on a complex interpretation of our case. When we balked she suggested a more simple interpretation might well be sufficient. She pushed us hard to sign up that moment, saying that our consultation fee would only be applied as a discount if we gave her a yes or no that day. Follow up questions to her have been answered slowly and without any clarity - the subtext seems to be unless we enlist her services she will answer no additional questions. She is entitled to conduct her business this way - but it strikes me as very unhelpful, especially when my followup questions are clarifying potentially significant misapprehensions on her part. We paid three-hundred dollars for the consultation and I believe she has a responsibility to render value and correct legal advice in return. Overall, and most importantly, reading her reviews, it does not resemble the person that we met with. -John

Best Attorney in Town

There's so much to write about Law office of Danielle Beach-Oswald, but I'll just summarized it in one word...SUPERB. I was first introduced to Ms Danielle in March 2013 after haven spent so much money and years with different lawyers who seemed not to be able to handle my case successfully. Immediat...ely that i met her, i knew i had just found the right attorney, and of course i wasn't dissapointed. Within 5 months of taken over my case, i got my Green Card. I would not hesitate to refer this law office to anyone. Excellent customer service and experience.....

"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 unequivocally endorse her and recommend her to anyone seeking immigration counsel in DC (or elsewhere for that matter)."

"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."
