Look no further than Glinsmann Immigration!

My husband and I had the honor and privilege to work with Maria Glinsmann and her team (Ana, Juan, and Carla) through my husband's permanent residency application process. Even though we had to meet via Zoom due to Covid, Maria and her team went above and beyond to make sure we were on track to meet ...deadlines and complete and submit government paperwork (which they handled completely). Any time we had a question (and we had MANY!), we could call her office and Ana, Juan, or Carla helped us immediately. They are organized, competent, professional, helpful, and just a joy to work with! They made a very overwhelming process less stressful and helped us every step of the way! We are so thankful to Team Maria, and we are going to use them to help us apply for Alejandro's citizenship!

Krista, thank you for your kind words of appreciation. The immigration process is a daunting one. We are so pleased you and your family selected us to guide you through the process. The United States welcomes hard working and deserving citizens like your husband. We can't wait to work on the citizenship process with you in just 3 short years. Warmest regards, Maria, Ana, Juan and Karla (aka TeamMaria :D)

Excellent experience, I highly recommend

Maria is a great lawyer with expert knowledge in immigration. I worked with her for my H-1B petition. She was always available when I had questions or concerns regarding my application. My case manager Ana and paralegal Juan were very responsive throughout the process. I would highly recommend Maria ...and her team for immigration needs.

My case was complicated, I thought I might lose it but they gave me a hope and confidence. The way th...ey handled my case was amazing. They are very professional and knowledgeable. they cared about my case and always called or emailed me to give me update. I certainly recommend this firm to anyone who needs immigration help. I feel blessed to choose them for my case. Team Maria, I need you to know that you are the best!!

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.
