OUTSTANDING SERVICE FROM A COMPASSIONATE LAWYER !!! : )

My husband and I and our 3 kids have been in this country for almost 20 years - after a couple of immigration processes and LONG waiting periods, our oldest daughter, my husband and I had finally gotten our residency… ours was a complex employment sponsorship case that had begun in Connecticut over 1...5 years ago, but suffice to say that finally, in these past 6 months, our two sons' turn to get their Green Cards had come due and to our immense shock USCIS sent us two different letters - one revoking the previously approved Green Card and the other outright denying it! We were absolutely devastated as nothing was more important than having our two sons get their Green Cards as time for college was coming up. They were extremely sad, and us, as parents, incomparably more! I consulted with a few attorneys with whom I did not feel comfortable. Then a Brazilian friend told me about attorney Iara Morton - she did not know her but said that she had heard a lot of great things about her. Not wanting to waste more money and time with false hopes, I did my research and confess to have read every single one of these amazing reviews about her in this site, and that is the only reason my husband and I went all the way to Miami to have a consultation and hire Ms. Morton. We could feel how attentive and personable she was during the first meeting and though she could not guarantee that we would have success, she said our chances were great! Making a long story short, attorney Iara Morton contacted our Connecticut lawyer of more than 15 years ago and was able to obtain key documents which she used, along with many other strong arguments, and was able to reopen our sons cases and make CIS change their prior decisions. It was unbelievably fast and we were so blessed to even have the CIS agent who reopened the cases contact our lawyer Iara by phone and request just updated medical exams, saying that she would reopened and approve both Green Cards. We could not be happier and more thankful to Iara Morton who truly advocates for her clients not only with her impressive intellect, but also with her heart. I told her I would love to write my review here too if we were victorious and I am extremely pleased and honored to recommend Iara Morton to all because she truly stands out as a lawyer and as a person - she educated us thoroughly about the immigration process, explaining why CIS was having their doubts and told us how we could prove otherwise. She was always super prompt in responding to all of our concerns and she changed our sons' fate! We highly recommend attorney Iara Morton for her honesty, passion and zeal, and we wish her continued success!

Excellent Lawyer.

I had a real bad auto accident 10 years ago and was referred to Iara Morton by another Brazilian lawyer. Iara was fabulous and fought really hard on my behalf and the settlement was much more than I ever expected. Iara always gave me such personalized attention and now, 10 years later, I am hiring Ia...ra again as my son just had an accident. I did not even think about any other lawyer as I follow Iara's success stories in her personal injury and immigration cases through Facebook. I highly recommend Iara not only as an extremely competent lawyer but as a truly caring person who makes a difference in the lives of those she represents.

Iara Morton is the BEST!

After having paid a lot of money to two different law firms and dealt with Brazilian secretaries (instead of with the American lawyers) and after deep frustration and agony with Immigration Dept's interview and requests for evidence, and when almost losing all hope to get my permanent Green Card afte...r waiting for about two years, I finally hired attorney Iara Morton who embraced my case and responded to the immigration department in a totally different way than the two prior firms.Basically, attorney Iara Morton reconstructed my case in a very powerful, totallly truthful and obviously perfect way as my Green Card was finally approved without any other interview and sent to me by mail! My mother and I are absolutely amazed at Iara Morton's passion, intelligence and attention to detail. She is no doubt THE BEST Brazilian (a professional FOR REAL!) assisting the Brazilian community.We are SO thankful for her outstanding work and will recommend her to all,forever! Attorney Iara, you are the best!!! Thank you so much!!!

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!

FANTASTICA

I met attorney Ms. Iara Morton at an Italian restaurant where I used to work. She immediately detected my Italian accent and we started talking. Ms. Morton is so engaging and her Italian is very good. When she was leaving I found out she was an immigration attorney and months later I hired her. M...s. Morton did a fabulous job for me and my wife and after a few years away from my native Rome, Ms. Morton made our dreams come true and we will be able to visit Italy soon. Ms. Morton is not only a fantastic lawyer but a delightful person who gives you such personalized attention, showing she truly care for your goals. She was always ready to answer our questions and did a perfect job, from beginning to end. My aunt and cousin already hired her too and are equally impressed. Ms. Morton is much more than just a highly competent lawyer - she's truly "magnifica"!
