I have known Deborah since 2012. Initially, she took care of our ( me and my wife’s) E2 visa to come to the US. E2 is not an easy, straightforward process, but we got approved on the spot mainly because of the way she put our case together. It was very thorough, and there was no room for second-gues...

Me and my family came from Sweden to U.S. it was not easy to find a good lawyer to have a good reputation, trust them with money and take care of your case in the shortest period.

"I have known Deborah Townsend for over 30 years and we have worked together on many cases. Deborah is a Florida Bar Board Certified Immigration and Nationality Lawyer and, while I practice in the areas of International Law, Business Law and Litigation, I am not an immigration attorney. I have many foreign clients from various countries and before I set up an entity or review a contract for the purchase of a business and/or real property, I always recommend that they consult with a qualified, experienced immigration attorney. All of the clients I have sent to Deborah have been extremely pleased with her advice and services and I am confident that they are in the best of hands. Deborah understands the cultural differences of her clients and always takes time to answer their questions and explain their options thoroughly. We work well together as a team to serve and protect our clients' interests. I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly endorse Deborah Townsend!!"
