Incredibly prompt, professional and efficient!
Kelly Sullivan has helped my husband and I in the process of applying for adjustment of status. She's supported us in every step of the way, responded to my multiple questions via email and phone calls, and thanks to her we're ready to submit our application. She paid attention to all the specifics of my case and has provided invaluable technical advice and information that only someone with her level of experience and attention to detail could! She has also made us feel as our case were her priority in every step of the way. When I failed to call her at a day scheduled for example, she went out of her way to reach out and touch basis, checking how I was doing and in which way she could be helpful. In addition to her legal expertise and professionalism, Kelly Sullivan has also shown to be a very approachable and empathetic person. She is aware of how challenging it is for the average person to deal with immigration paperwork and will put all her efforts and knowledge into making sure you get the best support to master these papers with confidence. Thank you, once again, Kelly, for all your efforts to assist us. Keep up with the good work!

Best Lawyer in Town
Attorney Kelly Sullivan is an outstanding lawyer. She helped my husband obtain his Permanent Residency card despite him having a criminal record. She was very meticulous in her work and was always very professional. She answered every email promptly, and kept us informed during the whole process. Although you can tell she is well educated she was really easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable. We cannot thank Attorney Kelly Sullivan enough and will be recommending her to everyone that needs and immigration lawyer.

Amazing Immigration Attorney
Kelly was amazing to work with for my husband's immigration case. She made the process go much smoother than if we attempted it ourselves. She exained the process thoroughly every step of the way and was very quick to respond to our questions and concerns. The entire process took less than 16 months. Thank you Kelly for your excellent service.

Supportive and professional!
Kelly helped my husband immigrate to the US with an adjustment of status (CR-1). After facing frustrating incompetency on the part of foreign embassies with our first attempt at a K-1 visa, we hired Kelly to help guide us. Her advice was invaluable and she helped us collect and present the necessary paperwork to expedite the process due to my husband's medical condition. We still had COVID-related delays, but these were in no way due to Kelly! Professional, thoughtful, and sympathetic to the human and emotional challenges of immigration, we would hire Kelly again any time!

Above and beyond
Kelly was an excellent support and guide through the application process for change of status through marriage. We had some difficulties and last minute surprises pop up and Kelly helped us navigate these as well, such as helping to expedite work authorization. We are very grateful for her assistance in applying for permanent residency / green card through marriage.

100% recommend
I hired Kelly as our attorney for my husband's K-1 VISA and marriage based Green Card Application. Kelly walked us through every step of the way and we managed everything in a much shorter time frame than we originally expected. When we received a request for evidence, Kelly was so quick to help us figure out what was needed and get it sent off asap. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for immigration related legal guidance. Our case did not have any red flags, we just really wanted the help of a professional and we were so glad to have Kelly for every step of the way!

Truly Phenomenal Immigration Lawyer
To start, Kelly understood I had a racy situation. She worked with me on the finances and yet consistently provided extraordinary guidance and support. She took my case on by providing a clear path on how to move forward. I can now say thanks to her, I am now a US citizen. I highly recommend her expertise. Truly a phenomenal immigration lawyer to have on your side. Thank you Kelly for making it happen.

Professional, knowledgeable and helpful lawyer!!
Kelly helped us to fix my wife's status on the US. She is a very professional lawyer who will always help you during the immigration process that you and your love ones are facing. She gave us a payment plan which helped us a lot because this is a expensive process and she is very understanding about it. We totally recommend her and will always be thankful for having her as our attorney.

I totally recommend her for any immigration process as this is something delicate, she is the one to totally trust and leave your process on her hands.

Top Notch Lawyer!!
My wife & I were represented better than we could have ever imagined! Our needs were put first and we were treated as a friend rather than a number. Our opinions were valued and our doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Kelly Sullivan fought hard for us. She went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Thank you Kelly for making this a smooth process!! Matthew

Very good with communication
Kelly worked with us for a year. She was very great at her job! She replaced another attorney and immediately contacted me and my wife to introduce herself and already studied our case. She is very professional and understanding. She will go out of her way to help out. Thanks Kelly for your help! Muy buena abogada yo y mi esposa la recomendamos totalmente. Y habla muy bien el español.

Super Prompt, Pleasure to work
Kelly Sullivan is an amazing lawyer. She helped me with my H1 visa without any delays. She responded to my emails promptly (even on weekends), helped me get my paperwork on time. She always made me feel that my work was her priority. I wish I was able to get her help for my J1 visa too. Would highly highly recommend her!!
