Mary-Lynn – One of the Best Immigration Lawyer in the US

I have had to deal with over a dozen immigration law firms in the country in the past. Mary-Lynn and the Fogle Law Firm team are undoubtedly one of, if not the best immigration law firm in the country. My case like most was complicated. My previous lawyer made mistakes on my paperwork which eventua...lly led to me being put in removal proceedings. At this juncture I hired Mary-Lynn at Fogle Law. Mary-Lynn took over the case and helped us through all the stages from filing the I-130, having the removal proceedings dismissed and to get my I-485 adjudicated by USCIS. During the lengthy process Mary-Lynn was patient in answering my questions, and was very thorough in reviewing my documents to make sure everything was done correctly. I am now a legal permanent resident. I am proud to recommend Mary-Lynn to anyone with immigration issues. She understands complicated cases. She is truly the “Johnnie Cochran” for immigration cases.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

We were referred to Ms. Tedesco after my son's case was turned down by several other firms. Mary Lynn was thorough, reviewing case studies before making recommendations and truthful when she did not feel it was in our best interest to pursue a certain direction. This was a very tenuous deportation ...case, but she was systematic in her preparation and I always felt confident in her abilities. Not only did she win the case for us, but she has continued to assist us with some follow up matters. Ms. Tedesco is engaging and professional and was a pleasure to work with.
