Oustanding lawyer

We hired attorney Iara Morton in 2009 when she changed our Religious Visa to Student Visas. Parallel to that, I found an employer who wanted to sponsor me in a labor certification case. Attorney Jonathan got our labor certification approved and later on Dra. Iara got our I-140 approved as well. Du...ring many years we could only study and kept praying for our priority date to come due. Finally, in the end of 2013 it became current and Dra. Iara filed for our adjustments in 2014. Months later (no many at all) myself, my wife and my son got our permanent Green Cards in the mail! No interview! It was our happiest day in this country! Nogueira Morton is an EXCELLENT law office. Efraim, attorney Richard, and Dra. Iara are always there for you and they respond to you promptly. They are extremely competent, honest, efficient, and we had nothing but excellent experiences from 2009 until 2014. We thank God for having made the wise choice of hiring attorney Iara as all worked out perfectly well, from beginning to end. We highly recommend Iara Morton & her team!

The Best Lawyer!

I thank God for having led me to Ms. Iara Morton who represented me vigorously and beautifully before the immigration court in Boston and also in Miami, reopening a removal order I had from many years ago and terminating it, allowing me to keep my Green Card intact. The very well known lawyer who re...presented me before, knew that I had this removal order and yet he did my entire labor process and applied for my Green Card without disclosing it or doing anything to get rid it. Then, after I left the country I had problems getting back in because the officers saw that I had a removal order and they told me I obtained my green card by fraud. I was devastated!!! I went back to this lawyer but he said he could not help me solve this. Then I tried to get naturalized and it was denied for the same reasons. I was then recommended to Ms. Morton who was a God send! She was prompt and kind and attentive, and with her undisputed competence and knowledge, she guided me throughout the entire process and we only had victories, one after the other! It was thanks to this graceful and zealous lawyer that I was able to keep my Green Card intact and I will soon become a naturalized US Citizen. If I had had Ms. Morton represent me since the start, my wife and I would never had had any of these problems, stress, worries and additional expenses we had to incur. She would have gotten rid of the removal order before applying for my Green Card, something I only learned that could be done AFTER I hired her. I have the highest respect and admiration for Ms. Morton and could not praise her enough! She is extremely honest and competent. She is a lawyer you can absolutely trust 100% and she is the reason I am now in peace. I thank and praise God for putting her in my path and wish her continued success. "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven." John 3:27.

Iara is surely the best lawyer That I know and I recommend !!! She is wonderful !

Dra. Iara Morton was a great blessing in my life! My brother, who already knew her, took me to her office and I liked her from the start! Dra. Iara handled my immigration case extremely well, guiding me through the whole process and always answering my questions. She was so caring and made me feel th...at I was truly in good hands. Dr. Efraim also helped me solved a lot of my problems (because I had many with my ex husband). They are wonderful professionals who show concern for you and want to see you succeed. Me and my two sons are already United States Citizens thanks to this very competent and efficient team! Dra. Iara is surely the best lawyer that I know , and I recommend !!,She is wonderful OBRIGADA Dra. IARA!!! Obrigada Dr Efraim !

Excellent Lawyer

Years ago my husband and I hired attorney Iara Morton to save us from a well known lawyer who had messed up many people's cases, including ours! We had paid him tons of money and yet all had gone wrong. We then hired attorney Iara Morton and she and Jonathan Morton did another labor certification for... my husband and fixed our entire case, and a couple of years later (after having been trying for years on end) we got our permanent resident cards! Iara Morton is a great lawyer, a great person, super honest, efficient, one you can fully rely on to get the results you expect. We are very grateful and happy to have engaged her for she got what we so much wanted. We highly recommend the Nogueira Morton firm.

Above and Beyond-The BEST!

In the beginning of 2013, my wife and I were blessed to have found not only the best lawyer, but a wonderful friend. We started our marriage based consular process at that time. The first step known as the I130 Petition for Alien Relative was approved almost 5 months after submission. During the ne...xt step of the process known as the I601A, we were asked to provide additional information. Iara Morton immediately stepped forward and helped to gather and submit this additional information requested. The final step of the process was the NVC phase which was once again, approved right away. I was given an interview date of August 8, 2014 in Rio de Janiero, Brazil to complete the process. I completed my interview on that date and was granted my visa packet at my hometown address in Belo Horizonte, Brazil only 3 days later. This was a record time waiver approval for Iara Morton. I was then able to reunite with my wife and children which remained in the United States during my visit to Brazil. Before selecting Iara Morton to represent me during my case, My wife and I spent much time comparing law firms based on their reviews and fees for services. After many hours, our decision settled on the best firm in South Florida, Advogada Brasilieria de Imigracao Iara Morton. We could not have been any happier with that decision. They are extremely professional and always attentive to every question and concern of their clients. Iara Morton is a huge asset not only to her paying clients, but also to the Latin community. She also offers free services through the church for individuals in need. My wife and I highly recommend this firm and are spreading the word. Thank you for everything, again!
