Best Immigration Lawyer in Orlando

Posted by

We contacted Attorney Poudat with regards to helping us with an Adjustment of Status application as we are a Same Sex couple. We spoke to Amarilda (her Legal Assistant and Public Relations Coordinator) and they both assisted us from the beginning. They are absolutely professional and helpful, answered all our questions and were with us the entire way. Our process only lasted 4 months from the time we applied. We felt we could ask any question and always got an answer immediately. Attorney Poudat and her staff are exceptional and we would recommend them to everyone.
