Consultant

Sharon Powell is a very good immigration lawyer. Our lawyer-client relationship goes back close to 10 years. She helped me renew my green card several years ago. Then about a year ago when I decided to to file my N 400 - Application for Naturalization, I reached out to her. And again, she filed my ap...plication and it was approved. She is very knowledgeable in immigration law and she puts her clients first over money. As an appreciation of her help, I will send people I know who may need legal immigration help her way. Thank you Sharon - you are awesome!

Awesome experience

Hiring Powell Law has been an awesome experience for me. Sharon Powell and her staff drive a culture of respect, integrity, professionalism, communications, pro-activeness and knowledge. Immigration Law is very complex, the laws are constantly changing and the bureaucracy involved is insane. Powel...l Law worked very hard through many law changes and Covid lockdowns to navigate effectively through the process until the desired end result was achieved. Sharon never stopped coming up with strategies and work-arounds to make sure we were doing everything we could to be successful. I am so impressed with the pro-activeness and communications. I highly recommend Powell Law, if you need immigration help. You will not be disappointed.

Great experience

I can’t thank Mrs. Powell enough for how she handled my rather complicated case. Her knowledge, experience and genuine care for her clients led us to finally have our case approved and I know that first hand because before we met Mrs. Powell we had an attorney that simply did not know what she was do...ing. Don’t waste your time and money! Go for the best and that is Mrs Powell and her team!

Very professional, courteous, and dedicated. A "Go To" Immigration Attorney.

Ms. Powell and her staff are wonderful professionals who are extremely insightful and experienced immigration legal professionals. I have always found them to be responsive and attentive to the needs of her clients and her staff is superb with the added bonus of being able to speak excellent technic...al Spanish. Her fees are consistent with other immigration law attorneys in the area especially when you consider her background and thoroughness. I whole heatedly recommend Ms. Powell and her staff for anyone needing assistance with an immigration issue.

hard-working and dedicated

Sharon helped me navigate the TPS (temporary protected status) opportunity during the Ebola outbreak when it would have been very difficult to safely return to my country.
