Maria and her team were a true safe harbor during my immigration process. They provided clear, practical advice and were always available for a chat when I needed them. Their support made a complex process smooth and understandable. I'm already recommending them to my Italian friends for their immigration needs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable and effective legal assistance.
We were beyond impressed with the professionalism, service, and experience that Maria and her team provided to us. The experience was outstanding from beginning to end, with the Glinsmann team treating us just like family and consistently demonstrating they genuinely cared!
I can’t say enough good things about Danny. Whenever he picked up the service line, I was immediately at ease. His calm and sweet disposition providing help, resources and answers to all of my questions made my life so much easier. Ana and Karla’s support and attention to detail during collection and review of our case evidence set us up for success. And Maria.. where to begin. She is just a dream to work with! Very personable, extremely knowledgeable and supportive from beginning to end. We will definitely refer and recommend coworkers, friends and family to Maria’s team from now on. The attention to detail and care provided by Maria and her team is stellar!
Lastly, on a personal note, I must add that the Glinsmann’s experience stood out to me because I’ve previously worked with other firms that are larger and more renowned but, unfortunately, those experiences felt very impersonal, I was just another number and case.
We highly recommend Maria Glinsmann and team! Thank you!

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, she 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!!!

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 the 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.

Green card holder
It's been amazing getting to know Maria and the team. My family and I can proudly say, we got an extension to our family through Glinsmann immigration. From the time we met Maria, our case looked complex and quite stressful. Maria assured us and was with us every step of the way. The team kept two-way communication and gave us feedback every step of the way. Any correspondence would be well communicated and articulated to us. We never felt anxious along the way for we always knew what was going on. I am proud to be a green card holder today. My family and I are grateful for the Glinsmann law firm and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless immigration process.

Amazing immigration lawyer through the entire process!
We hired Maria to help us obtain a greencard. She walked us through a hardship waiver, through an admission bar waiver, helped collect all of the neccessary paperwork, and submitted the package on our behalf. Once processing had been initiated, she kept us updated on our progress and direct us at each step. With the help of her team of Ana, Juan, Danny, and Karla, we were able to successfully complete the process without an interview. We highly recommend Maria and her team and will surely work with her in the future for all of our immigration needs!

My green card looks much greener thanks to Maria and her team. Her professionalism and empathy made my immigration process a rather pleasant affair. Kudos to her and her capable and courteous team: Ana, Juan, Karla, Danny, et al. No wonder Maria was chosen as the best immigration lawyer in 2023.

Great service
From the begining to the end, Maria Glinsman and her team were amazing.
We started with an intro session in which we were given a choice of just getting the documents we need and applying alone or going with Maria and her team.
The services, expectations, and pricing was all very well explained and transparent.
After we decided to use the services Maria and her team provides, it took us about 2-4 weeks to fill out the necessary paperwork, provide the necessary proofs of marriage, and actually file our request.
Once filed Maria and her team took care of everything. Once filed we awaited documents to arrive. A few documents arrived to our house and others directly to the law firm. With every notice or new action needed Maria and her team were with us advising and directing the next move to ensure a speedy process.
In the end our case was succesfully accepted in just 7 months without a confirmation interview!
(We were told this was ahead of the curve and not the norm for time expectations)
We could not be happier with the representation Maria and her team provided and would highly recommend them to anyone who just needs information or wants legal reprsentation for their immigration case.
