Director of Operations

I appreciate the professional manner in which Ms. Little managed my account. Her advice was solid and the documentations that she prepared was outstanding. I strongly recommend her practice to those in need of the services which she provides.

Immigration

Best legal council experience ever!!!! Mrs Little is patient, knowledgeable, very understanding and is a woman of her word. She took a very personal approach to my immigration issue and walked me through the various legal options and steps that I was unaware that were available to me. We spoke/consul...ted for roughly (5) hours back and forth and after I offered to pay for her time and service, she politely said "first consultation is free". In the end I chose the cheap option due to my financial situation at that time, but her service left such a mark on me that I will definitely go to her in the future if I need legal guidance and/or support. 6 stars!!!

Attaining Green Card Status & Work Permit

My wife and i used Jamila in our recent application to attain legal resident status in the US for my wife. From the very beginning Jamila was thorough, knowledgeable and informative in all aspects of our application. She carefully went thru each step of the process that lay ahead and what we shou...ld expect in relation to time line, financial cost and what would be required info wise in relation to application giving us a clear and concise idea of what was to come. Jamila was always just a phone call or email away and got back to us promptly with any questions or reservations we had at every stage. Jamila ensured all we submitted to the USCIS was correct and in order and made us feel very confident and at ease in which is a stressful time period with everything that was at stake for us. From the time taken from the beginning all the way up to prepping us for our Immigration final interview, Jamila was by our side at every turn. Even accompanying us to the interview at the USCIS office which was something she wasn't even obliged to do, to ensure any last minute hiccups were avoided. With Jamila we felt we didn't just have an attorney but someone who genuinely cared and was dedicated to us getting to our destination. It was amazing having that strong feeling that she was in our corner and we weren't just a case number and a dollar value,but people. I can never thank her enough for her time and efforts and would highly recommend her consult or hiring for your representation.

Very satisfied

I was very impressed and pleased with Jamila's firm but very professional demeanor. She was a god send to me and my family. Knowing nothing of the court system I was completely distraught with all the different packets and papers and laws and routes. Jamila came in knowing exactly what to do and how ...to do it making life and this first time experience a very quick and painless anxiety free process. Indeed without a shadow of a doubt Mrs Little deserves 5 stars for not only the genuine empathy she displayed for me and my children from start to finish but the dedication that was displayed for my case and every single question and concern no matter how big or small. I would recommend Jamila Little with the highest of regards. I can only hope that if I am to ever be in such a situation she would be that trusted person in my corner again.
