Long Drawn Out Process

Paid my initial fees day one after consultation. Unfortunately the process has been drawn out unnecessarily. My calls are not always returned. Email sent was never responded to. Paperwork submitted was supposed to be reviewed and call returned but heard nothing at all. I am the one having to do ...all the work. I feel like my case is really not that important to this law practice.

Thanks Rose

My husband and I are greencard holders but had to return to Australia for family reasons. We did have to fully investigate the immigration implications. Rose explained our options simply, coherently and calmly. her obvious experience with immigration processes enabled us to negotiate these processes ...with minimal fuss. As others have mentioned, Rose kept us updated all the way through. We have our re-entry permits with much anxiety lifted from our shoulders. Rose extensive network has also allowed us to work through IRS issues. Thanks Rose

Absolutely amazing!! We recommend her to anyone!

We hired Ms. Hernandez to handle my husband's immigration case and we couldn't have made a better decision! She was very present through the entire process, constantly updating us with changes to not only our case, but any laws that may have changed during our process. We have recommended her to all ...of our friends because she doesn't treat you like a "client". She is legitimately invested in her cases to the point she called me the day of my husband's interview at the consulate in Mexico to check if I had heard anything. She helped my husband get his visa approved!!!! She understands the spouse's anxiety through the whole process because she's been though it as well. For me, that was crucial to me keeping calm. If you're looking for an immigration attorney in the Nashville area, I honestly can't recommend Rose Hernandez enough!

"Best Experience Ever!"

Ms. Hernandez helped my family navigate the complicated immigration process with a high level of customer service, attentiveness, and a “we care” attitude I’ve seldom experienced. No hidden fees, extremely responsive, and thoroughly professional. Not only did we receive our visa and green card much... faster than anticipated, we also received the Expedited US Passport….still can’t believe how smooth and easy she and her firm made this experience seem. Not like working with a lawyer – more like a family friend you can always count on…..

"Over the nine years I've known Rose, I've been consistently blown away by her intellect, her passion, and her creativity in approaching immigration matters ranging from family-based visas to complex employment-based visa petitions. It's Rose's integrity and abiding commitment to achieving her clients' goals in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible that keeps me referring complex immigration work her way and trusting that she's the perfect person for the job. Rose has my highest recommendation."
