Amazing Team

We worked with Mrs. Maria and team. They were very helpful, professional and responsive. They made the process of obtaining my greencard very smooth. Would love to work with them for future endeavours.

The best among the best ...

Although Maria Glinsmann and her team came highly recommended to me, the resolution to my case for permanent residency exceeded all my expectations, in both effectiveness and timeliness. Even during the unprecedented and tumultuous times during the pandemic, Glinsmann and her team masterfully helped ...us navigate throughout the process, and delivered on their commitment to provide exceptional guidance and results. Amazingly, what was supposed to be a two year process, was completed in just ten months! And it is all thanks to their meticulousness and expertise. But more importantly, it was the kindness, understanding, patience, compassion and warmth that Glinsmann and her team showed in every interaction that really highlights this wonderful experience. I have no doubt that they treat every client, colleague or anyone else with such care. I thank Maria, Ana, Juan, and Karla from the bottom of my heart! I wholeheartedly recommend Maria Glinsmann and her team to anyone who needs their expertise!

Residence card

Maria and her team are truly amazing. Not only they are extremely knowledgeable and experienced in immigration field - everyone is super attentive and dedicated and will treat your case/problem very professional. They are always available via email or phone, answer all the questions in details, and d...uring meetings. .I am very glad I chose Glinsmann as my lawyer and highly recommend to use their services if you need help in your immigration process.

Excellent

Mrs. Glinsmann is extremely professional, personable, and effective. We hired her to manage a visa application and she kept us very informed with detailed instructions and follow up, including expected timelines and tasks to complete. Her support staff, Ana, Juan, and Karla, have also been very knowl...edgeable and helpful. We are still working with them, and so far have been pleasantly surprised by how efficiently and quickly things are handled and completed. Highly recommended!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
