The best attorney in Lexington KY

Shannon, is the most honest knowledgeable informed attorney in Lexington KY. I had difficult case with the immigration and I have had met and spoke many immigration experts and attorneys in Lexington KY, none of them could do what Shannon did, beside her personally, she listen very well, patient, loo...k for details, she will treat you like a family not like a case or a number and that's the most important wonderful thing about her, educated, known at the law firm as one of the most smart attorneys in Kentucky. The fees are the same as any other attorney and it could be less than some attorneys, when she promise she will keep her promise and if you are in very bad situation she will be in your side and will do all her best to help you in your situation, reliable, trustful, trustworthy. Very strong background at the law firm, will support you to the very end and she will never give up till she win your case. Honest, truthfulness person. After she accepted my case, she went through all the details and did a marvelous job till we won the case and I GOT MY CITIZENSHIP, thank you very much Shannon for your humanity. Also she have a fantastic assistant, thank you.

Immigration

Shannon was very informative when helping my father get his citizenship. She went above and beyond by calling my father's doctors office to make sure all the right documentation was filled out when he was submitting his application. Shannon showed up to his interview and was able to prove all docume...ntation was up to date. We really appreciated her help and I would recommend her to anyone that is going through the immigration process.

CR-1 Immigration Case

Shannon has been really helpful throughout the immigration process. Shannon took us step by step through the whole visa journey. She was always there to answer all our questions whenever we had any question or doubt regarding our immigration case. She made it really easy for us from filling our firs...t form, petition, embassy interview, additional document till I reached United States of America. Thank you so much Shannon Hayes Church for helping us.

CR1 Visa Experience

My husband and I chose Shannon to handle our immigration case and she did an amazing job. She was always prompt in responding to my many questions and I felt more at ease with her handling our case. When you have to wait months and months for a response from USCIS, getting it right the first time is ...important, and that's why we chose someone with experience. I can't tell you how happy I am with her because she helped my husband and I finally be able to start our lives together.

Great job

We needed an attorney who could help us get through the lengthy and difficult process of establishing citizenship for my wife. We contacted Shannon and she was very helpful. We met with her on several occassions where she explained the process in a manner that we could understand and she assisted in ...every aspect of the process. She was very professional and patient. She was there for us and helped us every step of the way. From filing paperwork and petitions to conducting a mock interview for preparation of our final interview with INS. After 6 months we finally received our green card. We are very great full for her assistance and would highly recommend for anyone who needs to go through this process.
