Efficient and effective

I’ve been in the US a year now so am very late leaving a review (sorry Kelly!). My situation was unique to Kelly’s experience as far as I know, but she handled everything with such expertise that the process felt easy and seamless. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and nonjudgmental. She... made sure everything was done correctly the first time, so there were no delays or additional requests for information. I always felt like I was in the best hands, and I’m so grateful for her support.

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 o...f 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!

Professional and effective

Kelly was very understanding and knowledgeable of the process. She was very specific and detailed on the information needed, and how the correct information would strengthen and benefit my case, as well as to damage the process in case of lack of information or incorrect information requested. She wo...uld respond to my concerns and questions on a timely and professional manner as well
