Amazing Grace

I contacted Grace when I had issue with immigration and I had to appear for removal proceedings. She took my wife and I on as a client. For years she had to file motions and represent me. Through it all, she was professional and most of all gracious in times of serious stress and anxiety. She wil...l sometimes call to just check on how I was doing, which I really appreciate and those calls gave me a sense of calm. The other thing I found refreshing was the fact that she wasn't shy to tell me the blunt TRUTH, no matter how unnerving it might sound, but after that she will tell me her game plan, step by step. She promised to go above and beyond for me, and she did, my issue with immigrations was resolved May this year, Grace has been my attorney since 2014 and she kept her words. If you're looking for an immigration attorney that will represent you passionately and always tell you the truth, Grace Esnardo is the person you need to call. Her fees are reasonable and she works hard for every penny of it, she's experienced, she's smart and throughout my ordeal she was kind, thats why I titled this as "Amazing Grace". Thank you Grace

Excellent Immigration Lawyer Ever!

Am Flora, a Philippine tourist to the states in 2015. I got married to a U.S. citizen in wisconsin on that same year. Since then, we have been filing my change of permanent status up to late 2017, four times, since it always came back for varied reasons. We even engaged the services of a male la...wyer paying thousand dollars for a waiver of vaccinations, which we never have been benefitted at all. Finally, on my fourth year here without permanent status yet, we decided to pursue filing again, this time, with the expertise of Atty. Grace Esnardo, who was referred to us by my countrywoman who had her green card speedily gotten by the help of Atty. Grace. Although she is based in DC and i am living in wisconsin, she is so kind and accommodating, even going out of her way, after business hours, calling and talking with me, especially in the past, that i was so troubled with my 4 wasted years, money and effort with my unfinished papers when we havent engaged her services yet. She would always comfort me and say that why should i give up now that we are almost there. And true enough, am so glad now telling everybody, with my head up that soon i will be getting my green card from the mail. She is so credible in her craft, so excellent in all the documentary requirements that when completed, we sent all my papers to her. Believe it or not, upon her filing my papers in october, 2018, successive notices of action came from the dept of homeland security, that my I-485 & I-765 were already under process at the next early month of november. I was then required to do the biometrics and medical. Then came my employment permit and employment authorization card which i presented to the social security administration so an ss number will already be issued to me. Basing on the experiences of my philippine friends, they waited for almost a year and a half for the processing of their papers. I have undergone last may 6, the interview at the homeland security prior to the issuance of my green card. Am now just waiting for the 90-day period, as i was advised, for the release of my green card. Everything in a 6-month period processing is so amazing, through the help of an excellent and credible immigration lawyer, Atty. Grace Esnardo. I pray, may her tribe increase, because of her pure heart. Mabuhay po kayo!

EPITOME OF A PERFECT LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE

Very diligent and the epitome of what a perfect, legal representative should be, Attorney Grace Esnardo stopped at nothing to tackle what seemed like an impossible case. About two years ago when my husband was on the verge of being deported to the Philippines, Attorney Esnardo boldly stepped in. F...or over ten years, my husband had pending petitions from both his relatives and work. He had also been through several attorneys, but nothing seemed to happen; it even came to a point that we almost give up. Attorney Grace Esnardo conscientiously worked with us to gather and examine a multitude of evidence via e-mails, phone calls, mails, and in-person meetings. Throughout the process, Attorney Esnardo was very well organized, managed her as well as her client’s time effectively, and treated us with utmost respect and compassion. Her outstanding work ethic and dedication to success paved the way for my husband to eventually become a U.S. Naturalized Citizen and for us to finally be united this past year. Attorney Grace Esnardo is a motivated, enthusiastic, and trustworthy individual. We highly recommend her service without reservation.
