Saying that Shannon is wonderful would be an understatement. Our experience with her has been the best from start to finish. The office staff is great and the environment was very warm and welcoming. All our needs were met and our legal issues were taken care of in a very prompt manner. I would recom...mend her to anyone without hesitation.

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.

Green card renewal

I highly recommend Carman and Fullerton abogados offices for any immigration issue that you can have. I hired Kirby and Shannon to help me with my green card renewal and they really took care of me. They were very specific with every paper work that I should get to resolve the case. However, the ...USCIS went over the time indicated to take the desicion to approved it, they never give up to help me and were there to answer every question that I asked them about the case. They made me feel positive when I was wonder about it because they knew what they were doing.........sincerely, I recommend them for any immigration issue.

Excellent Indeed!

My Oh my! I highly recommend Shannon Church to anyone looking to work on their Immigration application. She is as thorough, professional as you could hire and she makes you feel comfortable as well. She treated my application like it was hers all through the process till i was approved, all you just ...have to do is listen and provide whatever information she requests. She's very knowledgeable and ill definitely be working with her in the future if i have any cases.
