Quality

Vanessa was very professional and went the extra mile on my legal matters by providing her personal cell number in case of any questions. I already recommended her to my brother and she is diligently working to fix another attorney's mistake. I am very happy I found her firm.

Disappointing and overpriced

Overprice first consultation. lawyer not very knowledgeable, only interested in business immigration. Unless you have big bucks to spend she will not care about you. If you have a family based case you better find someone else, ditto for deportation orders... very limited practice...

Our consultation fee is $150 which is not overpriced considering the market and is credited to our legal fees when hired. Additionally all your questions were duly answered. We re sorry if you didn’t Get the answer you wanted to hear to be happy but the purpose of a consultation is to analyse your case and be honest with the prospect client if no solution is possible to him in view of his particular situation.

Simply the best in the country for the most cost-efficient successful result

If you are looking for a great immigration lawyer to get your suitable visa to remain in the US, please look no further as Ms. Vanessa Elmaleh is truly amazing. Not only she is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in immigration field, but she is truly dedicated and will treat your case as if it w...ould be her own. Ms. Vanessa Elmaleh and her efficient team are always available to answer in details all pertaining and non-pertaining questions I had. Furthermore, during the several meetings we had, Ms. Vanessa Elmaleh was always prepared and spent all time with you. I personally found, with Ms. Vanessa Elmaleh, an outstanding lawyer, so different than the four previous ones I had to treat my case and who focused almost on just collect my money and forget about my case. With such bad experiences I had with these pas four lawyers “highly recommended” by the industry, I was flabbergasted with Ms. Vanessa Elmaleh’s methodology, skills, competences and values, as she was in touch and guiding me throughout the whole process until the full success last week !!! I am very glad I chose Ms. Vanessa Elmaleh as my lawyer and highly recommend using her professional and efficient services if you need help, assistance and guidance in your immigration process.

Success story

"I had the chance to benefit from the expertise of Attorney Elmaleh for my B1 visa request in order to start a market research on the beauty and wellness industry in June 2013. It resulted in obtaining the E investor visa in August 2014 in order to open our own business. If I had to choose two wor...ds to describe the service rendered by Attorney Elmaleh, along with the precious and meticulous help of her assistant Sandra, I would say EFFICIENCY AND REACTIVITY. My professional and personal situation have dramatically evolved thanks to the advanced competences and experience as well as her permanent commitment. She showed outstanding compassion and great care. Her team includes the very professional Sandra who has been a key element and who has always been available and caring towards our requests and expectations. Therefore we decided to hire her services to officiate our marriage. This is also the reason why we will not hesitate to hire the services of the law firm of Attorney Elmaleh for further projects and to recommend the first to any person willing to give the best chances to his own application."

THE BEST ATTORNEY EVER

"Our family would like to express the professionalism of the firm of Vanessa Elmaleh. Indeed, Vanessa Elmaleh has quickly oriented me to an O1 visa because of my athletic skills. Thereafter, I got a green card through a rigorous work and close collaboration with her and her team. We thank particularl...y Attorney Elmaleh and her team for their commitment and humanism because they considered our case knowing that we have an autistic son. The course of our life has changed ..."
