Brought immense clarity! Knowledgeable and great communication skills

Shannon Church helped bring immense clarity and guidance in relation to a petition for an Alien Relative. I have dealt with other immigration Lawyers before and Shannon has been by far the sharpest. She laid out all relevant information, made sure I understood and did it all with a fantastic attitude.... As the Immigration process becomes more and more online I also found it helpful that Shannon is well versed and familiar with online government information and resources. A++ for Shannon Church!

Went above and beyond.

We hired Shannon Church to help us through our immigration process. My husband is a Mexican national who overstayed his work visa. She was very thorough and made sure we had every dicument that we needed. All our T's were crossed and I's were dotted, thanks to Shannon. Im a worry wart and was consta...ntly calling and emailing, she never got frustrated and showed great patience the entire time. During the interview process she met us at the location and help clear all our worries. She personally emailed us every time there was an update on our case. Shannon disolved much of our confusion and fears about the process, by being very straight forward with my family. We had a mock interview with her in order to understand the interview process, which can be ver difficult. However ours was very simple, due to the fact that we were over prepared. We will not see her as just our attorney, we will see her as part of the family. During these uncertain times with immigration, she helped my husband gain his permanent residency and keep our family together. We plan on hiring CF abogados in a year and a half to start the process for citizenship. Shannon Church is an amazing attorney and an asset to her company, if I could give more stars I would. I am constantly recommending CF Abogados to anyone who has any sort of need dor an attorney.

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.
