Elizabeth Quinn is one of the best immigration lawyer in nation.

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 EB1 petition. My innovations and technology profile is unique. There are not many research and development activities in my fiel...d of expertise that fits well in the usual EB1 case. I discussed with a few other attorneys who specialized in EB1 and they said your chances are very slim and I waited couple of years. I came across US News & World rating for Maggio and Kattar firm. In our first meeting, she enquired all the important subject matters and she decided to take my case. She carefully prepared all the paperwork based on the unique nature of my expertise and innovations. My case was approved in 2 weeks. She prepared well all the documents and discussed in detail all my innovations. She and her team are the most talented and dedicated peoples that I came across. This is the first review I ever wrote about any individual or company.

Extremely knowledgeable and professional lawyer

Elizabeth Quinn helped me process my green card application based on a national interest waiver. She is truly knowledgeable, organized, responsive, and caring. I would have never been able to get a green card without their guidance and attention to details every step of the way. In fact I would say t...hat thanks to her and her also stellar team the process was quite painless and expeditious.

Phenomenal attorney with lots patience and knowedgle!

I came to the US on J1 physician visa and then was granted hardship waiver based on medical grounds for my US born child. During my J to H change, I got into major immigration trouble due to mistakes by my attorney and my employer. Thats when I was told about Maggio+Kattar. I was introduced to Ms Qui...nn by attorney Jan Pederson as her "superstar" colleague. And Infact, Ms Quinn is superstar! She is extremely knowledgeable. I was going through lots of issues last year with my immigration, jobs etc. Ms Quinn, was extremely patient with me! I sent as many as 10 mails in a day! I always got prompt replies and her team always responded with the most satisfactory answer. I always felt that my case for EB1A was reasonably strong, but nothing is a guarantee. When I got in touch with Ms Quinn, I had already paid close to USD 2500 to another attorney ( who is well known for EB1 petitions and gives money back guarantee if your EB1 doesn't get approved). But after my first call with Ms Quinn, I had no doubts that she is the best. I got my EB1 done in an expeditious manner. Her team members are amazing!!! Fiona, Josh and Jennifer, all are amazing people. very helpful! If they can tolerate my tonnes of mails in a day then I am sure they can handle everything. I can't explain in words that my EB1A got approved without any RFE. All credit goes to Ms Quinn and her team. They are my to go person for all my immigration needs. Their knowledge is par excellence. They know everything about immigration. Very supportive, helpful and professional staff. I would strongly recommend Ms Quinn for all the physicians who are out there looking for attorneys for their immigration needs. Go to them without even thinking twice! They are simply the best!

Exceptional immigration attorney

Elizabeth has done a stellar job with my EA1 application. Having spoken to three attorneys about my case prior to contacting Maggio+Kattar, I had received mixed feedback that left me confused and skeptical about eligibility requirements in the EA-1 category. I have to say that what Elizabeth had done..., starting from our first 60-minute phone call and every step of the entire arduous process of preparing the application, is beyond phenomenal. My emails were answered right on time, substantively, and with a touch of patience and experience that just gives one the piece of mind one needs so badly when dealing with one of the most backlogged and unpredictable federal agencies in the country. The I-140 petition got approved within 5 months and without a squeak. When the adjustment of status application got stuck in security checks and USCIS got slow renewing my EAD cards, which resulted in a local DMV office refusing to renew my driver's license, Elizabeth prepared a packet supplemented with the relevant regulations that educated the DMV office on the impermissibility of their refusal to issue the license based on the approved H1B visa. I am being objective when I say that if you need an immigration attorney, do yourself a favor look no further!
