Gina M Takemori

Hello, My Name is Yuri and I am from Honduras. I always wanted to be a nurse and a USA citizen. I thought that those things would never happen to me, but in 2012 I became a nurse and in 2015 I got a green card. I though getting a green card was more than impossible, but for Gina, there is nothing impossible. She and her assistances were very attentive, always answering my questions, encouraging when I had doubts and best of all, they give me the feeling that they had my back and they would do absolutely everything on their power to help me. She also helped my mother, my mother's green card is on its way, after other lawyers told her that she could not get one. I am very grateful for you Gina. I am going to Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador in a few days, while packing I think of you and I smile, I would not be packing for this amazing trip if it was it for you. Thank you very much, my the world pays you back for all the goodness you do. Your friend for life, Yuri

Here's my story.
I'm a Spaniard and live in New York City with my boyfriend. I work as a professional for the same firm for 8 years. My H1B Visa was to expire this year, but I very much wanted to stay, to work, to live, and to be with those I've who had become part of my life. And so did the company I work for, so they sponsored me for a green card.

Earlier last year (2014), I retained counsel from another lawyer who had originally started my employer’s GC application. They shuffled their feet for months. The last straw was when they told me that they had priority clients (i.e., not me) to attend to. It was looking impossible for my firm to get the green card done with them and my visa was about to expire. The situation was extremely stressful.

At this time, through a referral, I found Gina and I asked her if she could help us. She jumped into high gear immediately, seeing the urgency of the situation. From the moment Gina entered my life, the situation make a positive turn and I felt I was finally in good hands.
For around a 2 week period, we exchanged (no exaggeration) at least 20 emails a day. She was on the case, and had thought of every contingency and within these two weeks my employer and I got all the applications done!!! She even got my H1B Visa extended as to minimize any possible issue.

I can say with certainty that without Gina's professionalism, expert and fast work, I would not have had my green card application and my visa extension submitted on time.

If you're looking for an immigration lawyer, I can recommend, without any reservation, Gina.

Thank you for reading.

Attorney Takemori provided me with clear and thoughtful assistance for both my immigration and business law needs. I met with Takemori during my immigration to the USA from the UK and after I transitioned to the U.S. again for help with moving my business here. In both of these efforts she consistently provided me with high quality legal support and assistance. She has sat down with me to work through my specific situation and discuss potential solutions, conducting research and because of her strong experience in both immigration and business law, I was able to trust her advice. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for attention to detail and quality legal support.
