Wealth of knowledge, easy to Communicate with and she listens well.

I contacted her in 2014 by phone explaining I was an over stay. My husband was a permanent resident. She advised me to wait until he becomes a citizen then the process will be quicker. Fast forward to 2016 he became a citizen. She e plainest all the possibilities of a rejected application. She had t...o make it clear and we understood from her advice that it was within her right to do so. We filed a d had no issues. Everything she said in terms of the timeline was on point. We were blessed to come across her any future representation we will definitely be using her. God bless you Smita and Catholic Charities.

Personable, Kind and Thorough

Words can not express how grateful I was to have had Smita Dazzo as my immigration lawyer. She was highly recommended to me by my sister who had an outstanding experience with her. Similarly, I experienced same and more. First, she was extremely explicit about what the services I was seeking would e...ntail and what her role as a lawyer would be in the process. She provided my husband and I a suggested timeline and communicated with us throughout the process. I was extremely touched that she would take the initiative on more than one occasion to call the appropriate organization to ensure our papers were following the expected timeline . Additionally, she gave relevant suggestion on how to personalize our application to make it as authentic as possible. That made me feel that not only was she thorough or explicit, but she was not pushing us through. We were real people. Finally, she celebrated with us at the end of the process. I am truly appreciative of Smita's professionalism throughout the process. I have and will continue to highly recommend her to friends and family!
