Elizabeth was our attorney and more importantly our advisor on how to unite my partner and I together permanently.

Roughly 9 years ago my partner was deported from the United States because his VISA had expired. Up until that time I paid over 4 different sets of attorneys to help keep Lucio and I together as a family. When the DOMA case was repealed by the Supreme Court, I contacted Elizabeth about our case. W...hen she heard that I had to live part time in Florida and part time with Lucio in Bogota, Colombia for a period of 8 years, (over 40 round trip tickets). Once Elizabeth heard about all the issues we had with the previous firm, her and her team setup a schedule of when we had to have all proof of our records put together and the dates they would review these records well in advance of all the due dates necessary to get Lucio a Fiance Visa to return to me in Florida. The goal was 2 years. I think that Elizabeth and her team did it in about 1.5 years. What I liked most about Elizabeth was they kept Lucio and posted of what was going on at all times. The never over promised. The details that needed to be gathered up by us were a lot. Elizabeth made us aware of due dates for necessary documents so we had advance notice. And I guess of most importance was her professionalism as well as kindness. I would recommend Elizabeth with the highest regard possible.

Compassion, communication, and competence

Elizabeth Carlson successfully guided us through a complicated immigration process that was extremely important to our family. She gave us confidence in our case, and we truly felt like she believes in the importance of the work she did for us. She was very organized and was in constant contact with ...us throughout the process.
