Highly Highly Recommend!

Katarina is excellent! She is very nice, very knowledgeable, and professional. Katarina went out of her way to answer questions and she helped with a smooth transition from petition to visa to marriage and finally green card. I highly recommend her!

Very good immigration attorney

Katarina was very instrumental for getting our family visa issued after it stuck in the embassy with some technical issues. She is very knowledgable with most issues that arises with family petition applications such as submitting the correct forms; affidavit of birth certificates. We were so happy ...with her service, by contacting appropriate authority, u.s.embassy, and staying top of the case until visa was issued

Excellent lawyer

Ms. Schmidt is a very well organized and competent professional. She helped me to navigate through the whole process of inviting my parent to immigrate to the USA to reside with my family. I can't imagine how difficult would it be without her continuous help and advice.

I was very pleased with Katarina Schmidt to get my U.S. Citizenship. She was extremely helpful, and if there were any questions she had a quick response. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking for a U.S Citizenship.

Katarina Schmidt is an excellent attorney

Katarina assisted me with my immigration case. She was kind, professional, efficient, easy to reach when I had questions, and successful. Because of her hard work, I am able to obtain my goals here in the United States and be able to return home to see my loved ones. I am forever grateful to Katarina... for being my immigration attorney and for making these important things in my life possible.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
