Adjustment of Status
My husband is American and we decided to live here in The United States, that’s when we contacted the Law Offices of Robert M. Bell to adjust my status. He was very clear and professional. Also, the fact that his team is bilingual, helped us to understand the process better. We made a good decision.

Excellent experience
For several years our family has used the services of the Law office of Robert M.Bell in resolving all legal issues related to our immigration processes. Mr. Bell and his staff, Sheila Hunis - paralegal, who handled our case, were always patient, attentive, did not leave a single question unanswered, guided the entire process until the case was successfully completed. We appreciate their professionalism, responsibility and we are grateful for their help and friendly attitude.

EXCELLENT
After being told by 3 attorneys that there was NO WAY to resolve our issue, we were referred by friends who had GREAT success with a difficult immigration issue to contact attorney Robert Bell. after he reviewed the documents he said there is a way to resolve our issue, HE WAS CORRECT! attorneys Robert Bell and Carmen Atkins along with paralegal Ana and the rest of there incredible staff guided us through the entire process of document gathering and preparation of interviewing and court appearances. always on time and with the GENUINE desire to help and work towards a positive outcome in all matters. With us being a same-sex couple we were treated with respect and professionalism, we will always be grateful to them for ALL they have done for us.

Throughly recommended for immigration assistance
We have nothing but good things to say about Attorney Bell and his paralegal Amanda who worked with us through our permanent residency application. They were both knowledgeable, helpful, understanding and always took the time to answer our questions completely and clearly. Any calls or emails we sent were answered promptly. We were thoroughly prepped for the actual USCIS interview with what to expect, as well as any pitfalls or concerns to be aware of. It was a pleasure doing business with them, and I thoroughly recommend them.

We could have not done it without their help!
My husband and I were looking for an immigration lawyer to assist with my husband’s N-400 application while his I-751 was still in process. Due to the complexity of our case we spoke to several lawyers, but Robert was the only one who seemed genuinely interested to help. Robert was very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable from the very beginning. After a few months, my husband was scheduled for an interview to remove his conditions and test for his N-400 so we requested for a lawyer to be present with us, this is when our case was assigned to Carmen Atkins who was our appointed attorney to travel and be present in our interview. We met with Carmen over zoom a few weeks prior, she spent over an hour answering our questions and preparing us on what to expect. When we got to the interview she made us feel comfortable and was very well informed about our case. We work on cruise ships travelling in and out of United States several times per week for many months at a time; therefore, proving his continuous residency when we don’t get our passport stamp on every port was a very difficult task to do. Carmen handled our case very well, first the officer removed the conditions and approved his I-751 before proceeding with the N-400 test. After my husband passed the test the officer wanted more time to research his travel dates. A few weeks after the interview we received a letter asking for more evidence on his travel dates, Carmen put together a very complete response and it only took a couple of weeks before his case was approved. It is also important to mention Amanda Matienzo who was our paralegal and direct point of communication from the beginning of our case. Their professionalism, experience and knowledge were definitely key to the success of the outcome of our case. We would have not been able to make it without their help. My husband and I are glad to have hired such incredible team of professionals. This was definitely the best decision we could have made.

Don't look anywhere else !
Robert and Natalie handled my Immigration case from start to finish. I am so happy we found them. Natalie was our go to professional who prepared all the paperwork and always replies to messages and calls. Robert gave us the final prep before our interview and he was very relaxing with his professional guidance. We can't thank them both enough and will be seeing them again for sure.
