Best lawyer

I retained Nogueira Morton Law Offices to represent me on an intelectual property case and I can only say good things about the way Ms. Iara Morton handled it, from stat to finish. I highly recommend her services in fact I have reffered several friends to Ms. Morton and they are all very pleased with... the results.

Dr. Wertman, you may have engaged Jonathan Morton for your intellectual property matter as he was the one handling I.P. in my office back then. Jonathan later worked for the USPTO as a Patent Examiner, then became In House Counsel for a huge Russian company and now secured a spectacular I.P. Lawyer position for a huge company in Tokyo, Japan. Thank you for your review.

A different passionate Lawyer, that came into our lives...

In nowadays it is hard to find good professionals and even harder to find great ones like Iara Morton. She is always going the extra mile for her clients. In my honest opinion helping others is not just her job it is her passion as well, and when you mix your passion with your profession you g...et this excellent combination. An amazing and caring person, that will make your American Dream turn into a reality, will make the oppressed living the shadows have a voice again that was once muffled in fear, will turn sorrow into happiness when she calls and let you know that your application have been approved, or that you will spend that night at your own bed and not at a bunk bed on an ICE detention center. I know a lot of you reading this review will not understand and God willing will never be in this type of situation, but for those that are or were at any time in a scenario like these you will understand. If you are able to find this amazing person to help, there is no scale big enough to measure the happiness and the gratitude. You know that 10 minutes goes by really fast, but if you are not able to breathe, those same 10 minutes can represent your whole life. Some lawyers called us clients, Iara called us friends and now we call her family. Thank you for all of your help, during those hard times, Iara you are the best.

Amazing lawyer

I hired Iara Morton several years ago and she did an outstanding job in my immigration case. She gave me personalized attention, educated me throughout the process, was always prompt to answer questions, and very soon, I will be hiring her again to do my husband's process. Iara is extremely competent... and I not only "follow her on FB" but know first hand of her numerous success stories with so many other clients. I highly recommend Iara, and to me there is no other immigration lawyer I'd hire, as she has done an outstanding for me in the past, and for many others I know. Iara is a lawyer you can definitely trust!

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.
