Adel Messeh Appreciation for Annigje

In handling my case as well as cases for so many of my friends whom I referred to her office, Ms. Annigje showed a high degree of professionalism and experience in handling the cases while keeping us aware of our choices and the progress every step of the way. I always counted on her opinion and re...commendations to choose among alternative legal choices. Ann's efforts were instrumental in achieving my goals and seeing the asylum case to tis successful conclusion.

Excellent & Honest Lawyer

Ann has been our immigration lawyer for more than twenty years. She helped us in many aspects of immigration matters. She is very honest, loyal, considerate and straight forward. Not only that she is very knowledgeable in the immigration laws, but she is also very creative in finding a legal solution... to every case. This can be demonstrated when my niece was aged out under the petition submitted to her dad by her grandmother. Ann suggested to use my old petition as her dad's brother so my niece could benefit as a beneficiary of this second petition by re-immigrating her dad who was already immigrated through her grandmother petition. The reason Ann recommended that, is because she found out that my niece, even though she aged out under her grandmother petition, but she still did not age out under my petition. She processed this case efficiently and in a timely manner and my niece is now a legal permanent resident in the United States. Now, Ann is processing my niece's petition to her husband.
