best immigration lawyer i could ask for

Very patient and concerned, highly professional. . we went to her quite worried because of a letter of intent to deny. She addressed all our concerns, guided us very well and gave us advice as to what to do next. We left her office quite satisfied. She was the best lawyer i spoke to. definitely rec...ommended.

Truely a Caring Lawyer

I am so impressed with Professionalism and Integrity but mostly I am touched by her caring and compassion. I was going down a list of lawyers from AVVO hoping I would get to talk to a lawyer. By happenstance I got through to her. She really listened to me; even though my thinking was warped and in...coherent. I am human derelict; suffering from mental illness trying to keep it altogether and function as a normal human being with dignity. My case full of dumb human mistakes made by me and now as I am gaining more of my sanity, I am trying to unravel them get myself straightened out. Most lawyers want to get rid of my call as fast as they can. Or charge me $150 for a consultation. This lady quitely and patiently explained things to me. Despite other phone interruptions, she put me on hold yet came back to me. At one point she even called me back. She explained things to me without looking down or taking my dignity away. She eased my fear, even encouraged and gave me the confidence to file my own paperwork to sort out my green card. Since I still my lack of confidence in myself; she offered a very reasonable price. For lot less than what another lawyer offered to do it for. Bless her heart. This is the only way I know to say Thank You to a Amazingly compassionate human being.

Incredible fighter

First, she listened to everything that we needed and what we had already done. For example, we had already filed an I-130 but could not locate a copy of the I-94. She walked us through the steps of requesting a copy and then guided us through steps on where to go to actually find out what informatio...n was on the I-94 when a copy could not be found. Then, she was very honest with us about what we needed to do next. Unfortunately that honesty included the need to file another I-130 after the information we needed from the I-94 was found. She also had an incredible wealth of knowledge about different programs and paths. For example, we applied for a parole in place since I was former military. While we were denied for this it was crucial for us to find the information for our I-94 as the I-94 was the reason we were denied for the parole in place. Finally, she was available. We e-mailed, texted, called and she always got back with us. She never made us feel as if we were forgotten or neglected. If I ever had another immigration issue or knew anybody who did, I would recommend her first.

Highly recommend! awesome and caring lawyer

When I sent messages to several local immigration lawyers, Ms. Chamberlin was the first person who responded and she even recommended another local lawyer in case my schedule is not compatible with hers. From the message, I could immediately see that she is a very nice and sincere lawyer. After I m...et her, I was even more impressed with her professional consultation and all advice for my I-485 answers in addition to her genuinely nice attitude. As a result, 11 days after I got help from her and submitted my amended I-485, I received an approval message from USCIS and soon I received a green card.! I highly recommend her to everyone who needs professional and sincere help in the immigration process.
