When I asked question , the assistant say oh, you need to wait her reply your answer . And it will take in 2days to you get your answer . So I wa...s waiting waiting , and now it's 2weeks and I didn't have any information . So I found answer by myself . I really not recommend if the person likes to fast answer .

A Must for Canadians- We Have Problems too at the Border But Thank God for Glendia!!

I was constantly being harassed at the Fort Erie border by government officials just to visit friends and family in the U.S. from Canada. Glendia made it clear that Canadians must still do their best to enter the country with a more defined purpose. She told me if I liked the U.S. so much consider i...f I wanted to work, go to school here and she would see how she could help me. I am now enrolling in an affordable student program and getting my F-1 student visa. I am so excited! Whether you are Canadian or not...I highly recommend no other immigration lawyer. Thank you Glendia!

Client - Waiver and inadmissability issues

I am excited to provide this review. For 10 years I used another attorney to resolve my immigration problems so that I could receive my permanent resident status. In 7 months Glendia escalated my case through her contacts with the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and my wife and I were sha...king to see the Green card mailed to our home in less than a year! I highly recommend Glendia and will refer her to my friends and family.

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.
