This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

One of the best lawyers I have known.

Meghan has been so compassionate and thoughtful when working with my case. Whenever I felt uncertain about how to move forward, she patiently guided me and explained to me in detail the things that I should prepare. During the reviewing process before submission, she always replied in a timely manner..., which made me feel very trusted and reassured. I am so grateful and fortunate to have had Meghan as my lawyer and will definitely have her as my lawyer again if needed in the future.

Meghan is a wonderful lawyer!

Meghan is a wonderful lawyer, I’m extremely thankful to her and to all her staff. They helped me with a visa extension and guided me extremely well throughout the process with kindness and patience. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer than her. Thank you, Meghan!

Excellent service overall!

Ms. Meghan was very professional throughout her service. She helped me file my extension of status. She made sure the documents were complete and sent on time. She updates me regularly and sent follow-ups for my biometrics on my behalf voluntarily; I didn’t even have to ask. She responds quickly to e...mails and is not hesitant to give the best recommendations for the good of the extension. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an expert on visa/immigration.

A joy to work with

Meghan helped me with my process to become a naturalized US citizen. She was helpful, nice, thoughtful, and an absolute professional throughout. I felt a great sense of calmness knowing she was my legal representative, and can hands down recommend her for any kind of immigration law assistance. He...r rates are very, very reasonable on top of it all. And her assistant was great too.

Caring and dedicated

Meghan worked with my wife (who is from Honduras) and I through my wife’s long immigration case. This involved a visa/change-of-status from J-1 to green card and included a 2-year foreign residency waiver through the “exceptional hardship” route. We were actually referred to Meghan from our current l...awyer, at that time, who needed to take maternity leave. Though we certainly liked our previous lawyer, Meghan took excellent care of us, so much so that we decided to continue with her once the maternity leave had ended. Meghan stayed on top of everything and prompted us on a regular basis with things we needed to do or obtain for the case (we felt like a couple of slackers by comparison). She had no problem seeking advice from other lawyers, when she thought it would be beneficial, or going out of her way to contact the embassy or other officials to seek clarification and prompt answers on our behalf. She was also very thorough in her efforts to furnish supporting documents, which included coaching us through writing the many statements we needed to provide or obtain from relatives, friends, employers, etc. Everything was considered significant, and she requested (politely) that we produce as much evidence as possible to fully support our case. We never felt that anything was missing in her services to us, and her demeanor was always kind. Through many twists and turns, the hardship waiver was approved, and my wife now lives with me in North Carolina as a lawful permanent resident. In a few years, we will be contacting Meghan again to walk us through the process of obtaining US citizenship. She has earned our trust many times over, and we highly recommend her to anyone else who needs assistance with an immigration case.
