Great immigration attorney!

I consulted with several attorneys regarding my case - a very difficult immigration situation. Anna was the only one who offered a creative solution, and she was the only one who really cared about me as a person and how my immigration status affected my entire family. She actively reached out to f...ind a way to turn my situation around. Today, I am a proud US citizen! Thank you, Anna - couldn't have done it without you and your wonderful team!

Recupere mi Ciudadania Americana. Got my American Citizenship back.

Me faltan las palabras para expresar mi inmensa gratitud hacia Anna Gallagher y todo el equipo de Maggio+Kattar. Mi caso no solo era único, sino también difícil, ya que había perdido la ciudadanía americana en 1984; pero gracias a la atenta y estrecha comunicación que Anna tuvo conmigo a través del p...roceso logró armar un caso fuerte y no dejó de luchar hasta recuperar mi ciudadanía. Antes de tener el placer de conocer a Anna ya había consultado yo a 4 diferentes abogados, ninguno de ellos supo tan siquiera como proceder con el caso y me advertían que no había modo de ganarlo. Agradezco con todo mi corazón a Anna y a todo el equipo de Maggio+Kattar por su paciencia, dedicación, e impecable esfuerzo que le dedicaron a mi caso. Quedaré agradecida por siempre, Regina I have no words to express the immense gratitude I have for Anna Gallagher and the whole team at Maggio+Kattar. My case was unique and challenging; I lost my citizenship back in 1984, but thanks to the close communication Anna had with me at all times she was able to put together a strong case for me. Before coming into contact with Anna I had already seen 4 different lawyers, none of which would take my case. Not only did Anna take my case, but she fought restlessly until I got my citizenship back. I want to wholeheartedly thank Anna and the whole Maggio+Kattar team for the hard work, patience, and dedication you put in my case, I shall always be thankful. Regina

Anna Gallagher is an attorney that cares!

Anna, as she likes to be called is a friendly and kind person in addition to being a dedicated and competent immigration lawyer. She is a partner at Maggio + Kattar, one of the best firms in the USA. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Maggio back in 2000. He was very nice and very specific about my co...mplicated case. He told me to wait for the right lawyer. Life works in mysterious ways...10 years later I finally met Anna at the same firm. Anna did what 52 lawyers I consulted in the DC, VA, NYC and FL areas said was NOT possible. Since 1993, these attorneys caused more problems to my case and made me wait without any results. In Anna’s words: “This should have been resolved 23 years ago!” In other words, the other attorneys were not willing to put the many, many, many hours of work (5 Years) that Anna has put into my case and is still assisting me, all the way to my citizenship. Anna puts lots of her time into her cases and causes. Anna cares about the human part of these legal cases. Anna is extremely well informed on the Immigration laws and well respected in this field. Anna gets involved, invested and literally cares about a client as a human being. Not only as a "case". She and her team become your doctor, your therapist, your family, and your friends. Especially for someone like me who has no family in this country. I am extremely appreciative! Immigration laws are changing slowly, mainly because of people like Anna Gallagher and her strong work to make the immigration system aware of their mistakes and flaws in regard to the LGBT community. I have lived and seen the changes in the DC area and the rest of the USA since 1985. Anna is not into receiving thanks. But, she should be recognized for her great work. Furthermore, she should get an “Award”. Anna's work is like what you read in a good legal book or watch in an intellectual movie. It took me 22 years to find an "incredible" Lawyer. It was worth it!!! I'm not exaggerating, this attorney is amazing! She responds to your emails immediately whether she is traveling to her seminars or on weekends at 6 AM. Not many professionals do this, these days! It takes me weeks to hear back from my doctor. Anna has a great team. However, she responds to you herself. I have no idea how. This is very helpful for foreigners coping with stress and anxiety that creates an immigration issue. Especially in situations that will be a "death sentence" for sure if one returns to their country of origin. She asked me to have faith in her. And I really do! I am a cancer survivor, twice, apart from many other health problems. But Anna was like a friend or family to me and I saw her interact with other clients the same way. I have nothing but extreme admiration and gratitude to her for working with me in an extremely difficult or seemingly impossible case like mine. I offer my eternal gratitude to Anna Gallagher!

Life Saver!

I had a very complicated case, my first lawyer really disappointed me by providing the incorrect information. After I first secured Anna, I was initially apprehensive and nervous, but hands down this was a very positive experience. Her team is very efficient, supportive, professional and anytime I ...called one of the members, they immediately responded. I highly & strongly recommend Anna, she is a life saver.

Anna Marie Gallagher is the Best.

My wife's case was real complicated and every lawyer i went to did not comfort me or was clear about the possibilities. it was more of we will take a chance and see if it will work. when we met Anna Gallagher She looked at the case and found the flaws in the case and assured us that she will do ever...y thing in her power to help and told us what to expect and worked real hard for us and my wife's case was resolved. i recommend her strongly as your first choice if she was not your first choice then i strongly recommend to consult her and see if she can help because if she can she will go beyond of her call of duty and help you achieve you legal goals. Thank you Anna From the bottom of our hearts. you Are the Best ...

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Anna Gallagher is highly respected throughout the nation for her knowledge of Immigration law and for her tenacity. Interestingly enough, I lectured with Anna about 6 years ago at a national conference. The title of that seminar shows her tenacity with her clients. It was entitled: “Out in the Cold: People with No Options Under Our Current Immigration System,” and it drew hundreds of attorneys who wanted to learn from her. Anna is ethical, smart and very practical."
