The best lawyer ever

Maria Glinsmann is a very intelligent immigration lawyer, I found her through google search and I am so glad that I have found her. I hired her as my immigration attorney for the Removal of Condition and the Naturalization. Due to her excellent knowledge of immigration law I became a U.S. citizen, sh...e advised to file for the removal of condition the I751 application and when it is time to apply for naturalization, she would file for the N400 even though the I751 was not determined yet by the USCIS, so after 9 months from filing the N400 i was invited for the interview for both applications and i had the immigration test on the same day, i passed the exam and I became an American citizen. During my entire immigration process, Maria and her awesome team Ana, Juan, and Karla, are highly professional, very meticulous and caring. My family and I are extremely grateful to have her as my attorney. is truly the Best Immigration lawyer and a wonderful person. I recommend her services to all people who need immigration assistance.

A citizen at last

I hired Maria and the Team about a year ago. I was only giving 30 days to react fast. The USCIS were going to deny my application and I had no time to waste. My case was very complex. I contacted 3 others lawyers before I decided to hire Maria and the Team. They handled my case so professionally... and promptly, I was such a wreck but the team was very understanding and supportive. I am very impressed and would definitely recommend them. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me!!!

Great service

I wanted an experienced immigration attorney and based on previous reviews I chose Glinsmann. They were professional and thorough throughout the entire process. Not inexpensive but all things considered well worth it.

A lawyer that will fight for you and your needs

I don't know if I have enough good things to say about Maria Glinsmann. She came highly recommended from a family friend and after working with her it is obvious why. After our first meeting with her it is clear that she is an expert in her field. Our case was a complicated immigration case to say th...e least and she proved that she was well equipped to handle the load. She is professional yet personable and took the stress out of a stressful experience. She is communicative and does a good job of translating legal jargon into layman's terms. You can trust Maria with any of your immigration needs.

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.
