Efficient, professional, friendly and thorough lawyer

Maria Glinsmann helped my three children get green cards. She is an excellent immigration lawyer. There were many files, photos, and documents to look through and prepare, and she and her staff were very thorough to make sure we got our application in correctly and in a timely manner. Once the pri...ority date hit current, she contacted us immediately to take action, to get the children's medicals, and the next amount of paperwork ready. She is amazingly organized, easily available, and also very warm and friendly. She made this whole process easier with her calm, friendly, and humorous ways. I always looked forward to meeting with her. I was also impressed at how she knew a lot of the immigration officers at the USCIS office in Baltimore. I felt that we were in good hands at the interview. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone. Her staff are all excellent. Juan, Karla and Ana were always very accommodating and helpful, and always available to answer any questions I might have. They have all been working there for some time, which makes it easier for clients who know that their case has been worked on by the same staff familiar with their paperwork. I have had such a good experience working with her.

Excellent service

We were in constant contact when needed and all my questions were answered quickly and professionally. We received updates as our case evolved. We were never unsure where case stood. Everyone in her office were courteous and professional.

Couldn't be happier

Maria's team was incredibly helpful to us in obtaining a marriage-based green card. We decided to go with the Glinsmann firm pretty much right after our free consultation - we hadn't expected to actually meet with the attorney for this consultation, and to top it off, she was already very thorough in... walking us through the process. We hired her team right after we got married, and they managed to get our application completed and submitted in less than 2 months. My green card was approved the day of our interview, which was after only 11 months since the application date. We definitely didn't expect to be approved so soon, and it wouldn't have happened had Maria not helped us gather all our documents and been present with us at our interview. In addition, she and her team always made themselves available to us and made sure that we got all our questions answered via emails, calls, or meetings. We couldn't be happier with the service we received. We're very thankful to Maria, Ana, and Juan for guiding us through this complicated process.

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.
