Green card

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Kelly for her outstanding legal assistance in obtaining my green card. Her knowledge and expertise in immigration law were truly remarkable. From the beginning, she listened to our concerns, answered all our questions, and provided us with clear understanding... of the process. Our case took almost one year and a half, but that was because USCIS was delaying cases. Kelly always communicated with us about the times that may take to process our case. I am now a proud green card holder. I highly recommend Kelly for her professionalism and genuine commitment to their clients.

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.

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 f...igure 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!

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!

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.
