Perfect choice!

Nogueira Morton was the perfect choice for me. Some romanian friends recommended me to attorney Iara Morton .My process was done promptly and ran very smoothly. Now I have my Green Card and soon I will travel to my native Romania thanks to Ms Iara Morton's counseling and her team' s help as well, att...orneys Richard and Melissa Alton. I highly recommend her because she is responsive, reliable and did a perfect job!

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!

A Lawyer who deserves 10 Stars

On December 18, 2014 I had a hearing in the court of fort lauderdale, florida, in consequence of my expired driver's license. Without knowing it, before entering the court room, two ICE agents were waiting for me with a prison order, because I had a Removal order from many years ago. Once I got on t...he ICE department in Miramar started to contact my friend and he immediately contacted Ms Iara Morton, who immediately began to work on this case. I was about 23 days held in "krome" in Miami. during those days in detention, I always communicated with Ms. Iara Morton through phone calls, and also, through its presence in Krome and always showing me how he was going to work. What impressed me throughout these days, it was the way she cared about the case. Emphasizing not money but how to remove the order of deportation and get me out of that place. On January 15, 2015, I was finally released from Krome. I thank God for directing me Ms.Iara. After free from "Krome", also got the renewal of driver's license and I will soon have my work permit that I have done the finger print. She is extremely honest and competent. She is a lawyer you can absolutely trust 100% . 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.

Great Lawyer!!!

We were referred to Iara Morton by one of her former clients and we had a fabulous experience with her! Our case went very smooth, from beginning to end. Iara was always prompt in providing answers and explaining to us the whole immigration process, its steps, etc. Her associate, Richard Alton, acco...mpanied us at the interview because Iara had another one at the same time in another location. Richard was great as well! I got my 10-year Green Card a few days later and couldn't be happier! My husband & I highly recommend Iara Morton and her firm.

Competence

Through my aunt Adriana's recommendation, who had already used Iara Morton's services many years ago, I hired her to solve a very difficult situation which had left me in total despair! I had my F-1 visa denied and was out of status because of errors made by a very reputable school, but the school ow...ner refused to admit its errors and was not cooperating at all. The owner had rudely avoided us several times and absolutely refused to help! I was in total agony because I knew that being out of status could hurt my chances to re-enter the U.S. or to be in legal status again. Well, all changed dramatically once I hired Dra. Iara who immediately contacted the school and made her demands - and this time, the school owner did listen and complied with her requests! She filed an appeal, the decision was reversed and my status was restored. I am legal again thanks to this great lawyer! Thank you so much!!!
