Pleased and happy with positive results!

We hired attorney Elizabeth Lawrence to help us with my adjustment of status in order to permanent resident. She made sure that all the documents we needed were submitted properly and on time. It was very helpful to work with her because I was always stressed trying to have it all right and she mad...e this process smooth and easy by being very professional and trustful giving us the security we needed in every step that she knows what she does. She always answered my questions as soon as possible and made sure we understood how the procedure, costs, and everything very detailed since day one. She accompanied us since the filling of all the paperwork all the way through our interview. After having the experience of working along with her, there is no other way we would have wanted. We definitely recommend her since she is very professional, knowledgeable, understanding, trustful, and warm person.

Highly Recommended

I contacted Elizabeth because of her immigration expertise. I needed a lawyer who could help me throughout the process of adjusting my status to permanent resident. We kicked things off with an introductory call, in which she explained what the process would entail, cost of services, and the document...s required for the entire process. I sent her all the necessary documents and she took care of the rest. Based on the information I provided, she filled out the necessary applications, had me review them, and filed the applications in a reasonable time-frame. Each of the applications were approved without any hiccups. She also accompanied my wife and I to the AOS interview and intervened on our behalf a couple of times to provide pertinent information to support our case. She made the entire process seamlessly easy. She was easily accessible via phone and email. When I could not reach her by phone, her staff were readily available to assist with any inquiry I had. I highly recommend Elizabeth for any immigration advice or services needed as she is very professional and knowledgeable about the US immigration system and its complexities.

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.
