Hardworking Attorney

I first heard about Attorney Sessoms through a friend of mine who Attorney Sessoms had helped previously. I was looking for immigration relief for my husband and I had been told that she was an immigration attorney. When we came to our first consultation I came with my husband, she told me that I cou...ld petition for him since I was a United States Citizen. She explained the whole process and even though I was a little nervous, she always assured me that everything would be okay. Her office staff provided me with questionnaires and checklists that I and my husband would need for our case, and her and her staff were always helpful if I had questions or didn't understand something. I would say she always kept me well informed on my case and I almost always got a call back within the same day. I also appreciated that she was always honest with us about the good parts of our case as well as the bad, she was never misleading, and she always let us know that whether things were good or bad she would do everything for our case. She was able to guide us through the three step family petition process, we even got to Mexico for our interview and are now legally back in the United States thanks to Attorney Sessoms. During our immigration case processing, we were involved in a personal injury case that she was able to help us with as well. She explained that process to us, let us know what could happen and how she could help us, she made sure we received the physical care that we needed, and she worked hard with our insurance agency to make sure that our bills were covered. Even with our medical bills covered and our personal damage taken care of, we still received a large settlement check from the accident. We would recommend Attorney Sessoms to any friends or family because it is obvious that she is very dedicated to her work, and we would trust her to take care of any of our future endeavors.

A Great Immigration Attorney

I first heard about Attorney Sessoms from a radio ad, I was having some immigration problems and I decided that I should seek guidance with my issues. I had past issues including a border encounter from when I first entered, so I did not think I would be eligible for any kind of relief, I certainly d...idn't think I'd be eligible for a possible United States permanent residency status and one day citizenship. In my first consultation, she explained to me that I would be eligible for a U-Visa. When I started my case she provided me with a checklist and a questionnaire, she always kept me prepared for my applications and let me know everything up front. In time, she not only helped me obtain my U-Visa, my wife was also eligible as a beneficiary and she helped us both received approved applications. This is a route to citizenship in the United States, and Attorney Sessoms is who helped us from the start. She is an excellent attorney, I have already recommended her to many of my friends as she has helped us so much. We're very thankful for her that she helped us with our case, without her we don't know how we would have received any immigration relief. She was always honest with us about the good and bad parts of our case, and she always kept us well informed as to what was missing or when the applications were being sent, as well as any updates on our case. I know that we will be coming back to Attorney Sessoms should we have any legal problems, and we would recommend her to any of our friends or family members.

Excellent Service

I was referred to Attorney Sessoms by a friend one day when I was in court. I had run into some trouble with immigration and knew that I would need representation and help with my case, I had already tried to go to court without an attorney and it did not go well for me. She always answered all of my... questions, she called me whenever she had any new information. I would say she is a very honest person, she knows her work well and is always up to date and informed with the new immigration laws that are changing or current. She helped me get more time in court which is something that I needed, all the while she helped me receive my approved DACA and employment authorization so that I could work legally in the United States. Her staff is always helpful and willing to answer questions to the best of their abillities, I was always taken care of as swiftly as possible. Attorney Sessoms was always honest with me about my case, she always told me the good and bad parts of what was going on which was something that I appreciated even if I didn't like the truth, she was always up front with me. I will definitely be using her again for my future immigration cases and renewals and I would recommend her to anyone who needs an legal help.
