Review April Cockerham

A+ Emigration Lawyer!!

Posted by philip condonSun Oct 02 2016

April provided me with a first class emigration law service that got me legal working status in the USA. She is very efficient, courtious, and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing her service!

April is really knowledgeable, caring, and professional.

Posted by SebastianFri Sep 02 2016

April helped my wife and I filing my Adjustment of Status application. April is very knowledgeable about immigration law and conveys information in a precise way. She is always willing to explain each step of the process and helped with all my questions. As someone who wants to know how things work in detail, It felt great to have April not only filing the paperwork but helping me understand the logic behind each step of the process. As an international graduate student in the US I've found that quite often international advisers at the university can give you incomplete or inaccurate information. That is why I really appreciated April's expertise and professionalism. April is willing to answer questions that go beyond the paperwork. She clearly understand how important is for the client, especially for a person like myself, to be involved in the process instead of having someone just doing things for you without you knowing what's going on.
