Posted by Melo and Jaz Sorita | June 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Most importantly Personal, not just Business.

Atty. Carson and her Immigration Team made us feel comfortable and welcome the very first minute we came to their office. She has warm and friendly demeanor and talks clearly and knowledgeably, which shows how she is truly experienced in the field. Her legal team is very organized, highly efficient, ...and truly dedicated in their work to get us our immigration documents processed and approved the fastest way possible. The best part is they not only made it possible for us to stay in the U.S. while we were waiting for our Green Card, they also made it possible for us to receive our our Work Visas earlier within the 3-month period, so that we were able to be get back to work in the same job positions we had before. They also arranged for us an affordable payment plan so we can easily pay our legal fees. It was such a relief that we did not have to worry about getting too deep in debt. The Green Card also arrived before the expected time. So everything went so well, if not perfect! We are very happy and will be eternally grateful! Atty. Giselle and her team are a great blessing to us indeed. They are not only the best at what they do, but also -- and most importantly -- they treated us as family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
