Excellent service: warm and cordial, very knowledgeable-- With Ms. Sanders you are in good hands

As an international medical graduate (IMG); I have had to use immigration lawyers’ services for a while now. When my lawyer’s office told me that the “office has other priorities before attending to my case”; I knew I had to move on. A colleague recommended Ms. Sanders; I will always remain indebted ...to my colleague for the referral. When I met with Ms. Sanders, I was impressed by her knowledge and willingness to promptly research the solutions for my questions. My previous lawyer would present my options with great uncertainty. With Ms. Sanders, I had a much clearer idea of what the process was and what the timelines were. My case processed exactly as Ms. Sanders had described. While awaiting decision for one step, Ms. Sanders would prepare the paperwork for the next step to make sure that there were no delays in the progress of my case. Mrs. Sanders states she “pays individual attention to every client”; I most certainly can bear evidence to that claim. On a Thursday afternoon, I had requested Ms. Sanders that I would like to complete the necessary paperwork before the weekend since I will be hosting some guests that weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to see the required documents at around 11:00pm with a note “I was in meetings all day long and just got some time and here are the forms for both you and your wife to sign”. I have called Ms. Sanders on a weekend for an urgent issue, and she returned my call the same day. Most of us seeking advice from a lawyer would agree that such a prompt and on time response does indeed support Ms. Sanders’ claim of individual attention to each client. Ms. Sanders has successfully assisted several of my senior colleagues to obtain employment-based green-cards in a timely manner and my case is the next successful addition to that pool of accomplishments (needless to say it all happened in less than 10 months!). I would highly and without reservation recommend Ms. Sanders to anyone seeking assistance with their immigration needs.
