The best immigration lawyer

Elizabeth Quinn is one of the best immigration lawyer in the nation. I came across Elizabeth Quinn’s firm Maggio and Kattar when I was looking for the best attorney for my Green Card. She and her team members carefully and diligently prepared all the paperwork. My case was approved in less than 3... years. She and her team are the most talented and dedicated people that I came across. They help me not only to obtain my permanent resident, but also to make my dream come true. They are truly the best of the best.

Outstanding EB1-EA immigration attorney

I have no words to describe the exceptional expertise, professionalism and quality of service that Elizabeth and her team has provided at every step of the EB1-EA process. Elizabeth and her partners at Maggio-Kattar are the most approachable and knowledgeable immigration attorneys that I have worked ...with. Her personal attention and responsiveness set a very high bar for other immigration attorneys to match. My interactions with Elizabeth have always been extremely pleasant – she treats me with respect, listens to my concerns/input with attention and patience, gathers her team and makes notes at every meeting, values my opinion and provides outstanding guidance based on decades of experience. In my opinion, these are the qualities that you need in an attorney to handle a complicated petition such as EB1-EA. Open communication is the key since the petition relies on very specialized information about your profession and your only hope for success is an attorney willing to put in his/her time in understanding your case. I was very skeptical of hiring a new attorney, having had bad experience with another law firm which pretty much prepared a ‘cookie cutter’ EB1 petition without much regard to my input. I had great experience with another attorney at Maggio-Kattar so I decided to consult with Elizabeth about EB1EA petition. From our very first conversation I was confident that if anyone can get my EB1 approved, it would be Elizabeth. Under Elizabeth’s direct supervision, her staff did a terrific job in reviewing thousands of pages of evidence and putting it together as a concise but highly effective petition. The letters that she drafted were top notch and insightful. Even when I lost hope with a dreadful RFE, she deftly navigated me through the response process and the petition was finally approved. She gave me confidence and guided me with her personal attention. I could not have got this approval without Elizabeth and her outstanding team. It is a privilege to have her as my attorney and I highly recommend her for EB1 petitions and other immigration matters.
