Amy Novick is an outstanding immigration attorney and she receives my very highest recommendation!

I am a physician and have hired Amy several times to deal with my immigration issues. She has always delivered. She has successfully filed for my O-1 visa on several occasions, and also for my HHS waiver. She is currently filing for my Green Card and that of my wife. She is very knowledgeable, prof...essional and I would recommend her very enthusiastically. If I ever have any immigration issues or if my friends or family ever need an excellent immigration attorney, Amy is the person I would go to! As a physician, academic and professor, I deal constantly with professionals in a variety of fields. Amy is the consummate professional. She is honest, competent, and delivers!

Outstanding Attorney

I have referred a number of complex legal matters to Amy, primarily EB1-1 petitions. This type of case is very challenging in light of recent USCIS policy guidance but Amy has done a masterful job securing approvals. She is responsive, thorough and creative. I recommend her highly.

Great immigration attorney

I feel compelled to post this review of the truly outstanding job Amy Novick did recently in aiding me to obtain my EB11. I very much appreciated the way in which she assisted me in navigating the process, making it as easy as possible given the difficulty of the task. Her knowledge of the regulati...ons and of the kind of information that would be most helpful to the decision makers in my case was invaluable during the process. Needless to say, the result -- obtaining my Extraordinary Visa so soon after submission -- was far better than anything I could have reasonably expected.

Fantastic immigration expert!

I hired Amy to work with me on my Green Card application. From the outset it was clear she had a deep level of expertise in all matters relating to immigration and an ability to identify what was important for my case. Amy spent a lot of time finding out about me and my career in order to come up wit...h a tailored approach to my application. She prepared my case with a tremendous amount of attention to detail and was relentless about making sure that every bit of relevant information was included properly. The result was a strong case on my behalf and us getting our green cards within 11 months from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend Amy and I'm sure we will be using her services again in the future.

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.

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.
