Excellent Immigration Attorney!

I began my immigration case five years ago. I chose Margaret Wong and associates as my legal counsel. I would like to take this opportunity to express how satisfied and grateful I am with the law firm of Ms. Wong. My immigration case was extremely difficult, I have been in the US for over 20 years a...nd had no progress with my case until I retained Ms. Wong as my attorney. I qualified for the 601-A waiver. Fortunately it was approved due to the hard work of this legal team. The hard work of Ms. Wong, her associates, Allison Chan and Albion Manellari were extremely commendable. All of my questions were answered promptly. My concerns were always taken seriously and handled professionally. Attention to detail and professionalism are qualities of this firm. I highly recommend this law firm for any individual with immigration problems, even the most difficult cases.

Hi Goran. Thank you so much for these kind words. It helps us immensely to have this feedback. You're right that difficult cases are our specialty. Thank you so much for coming to see us. Our cases are helped so much when the client is as hard working and diligent as are we. Both immigration and life in the United States are serious business. The American Dream cannot be taken lightly, or it will not be achieved. Thank you.

I made best choice to hire attorney Margaret Wong

My husband and i met Attorney Wong on 02/12/2013. I did not have any doubt to hire her for my immigration case. She has very good reputation in Korean community, so people who have been go thru bad experience with immigration attorney, they ask attorney Wong for help and she always give them good ...advice. I don't think i could get my green card without her help. They told me what documents i need to prepare and what i need to do. I only followed their direction and i got my green card this month !! I really appreciate attorney Wong and her staff.

Jungah, thank you so much for your comments. I'm so pleased you got your Green Card so quickly. When clients do as we suggest, in the timing we suggest, things often go well. Many immigration forms can be done by the person, but ensuring every check box is correct, every line has accurate information is often well worth whatever you pay the attorney. The Green Card is a new lease on your American Dream, and may be a path to citizenship, if that's what you desire. Congratulations.

Serving genrations

We got recommendations for Ms Wong, from my uncle whom she had helped with immigration a decade ago. Ours was an Eb1 petition and she encouraged us with the right choices in filing for this category, and helped us from a complicated visa situation of my spouse. Getting helped from Ms Wong was defin...itely a game changer for us, to help from the complicated and very legal aspect of immigration which is often a hard challenge to people like me not familiar with the Legality of the process, and things that can benefit in preparing a good case. Her office , and her great team of attorneys have a great protocol of preparing the case, and went through all our docs to make sure they get all information from us, understand the merits of the case, and how to present all that information. They understood the criticality of our case, and delivered in a timely and precise manner. We are glad we took her help, and was big reason that got us sailing in rough waters.

Thank you so much for taking the time to describe your experience with our firm. We have built our reputation in part because we've built a great team, each specializing in a different aspect of immigration law. More than 90% of cases succeed, but far more dissatisfied customers write reviews than satisfied, so if you read reviews alone, your image of a lawyer or firm may not be accurate. That's why it's so great when a happy client describes why s/he is so happy. Thank you.

My experience with Margaret was - she is the best you can hire.

My spouse and I hired Margarget Wong & Associates for immigration legal services after the firm was recommended to us by a number of people who had very successful experiences with the firm. Our need to hire Margaret Wong arose from very poor performance by our previous attorney which led to legal d...ifficulties for my spouse. Margaret Wong was initially personally in charge of my spouse’s case with it eventually being handled by Attorney Allison Chan out of the firms Chicago office. Our experience with both Margaret and Allison was very positive, both attorneys always responded to our questions in a very timely manner. From our experience it should be noted that people having cases or in need of legal advice within the United States Immigration System need to be very aware that these cases can take very long periods of time and require: extremely large amount of paperwork, back up documentation, official submissions, and fees to the Federal Government. The attorneys have massive caseloads which can be greatly helped by the client in obtaining, providing, and copying all records such as: certified copies of birth certificates, tax returns, marriage licenses, copies of passports, back ground checks, arrest records, etc. In our experience providing records and mass copying helped expedite the processing time of the case. Expecting all of this back up work to be done by your attorney or para legal slows down your cases processing time and increases chances for errors and omissions. My spouse and I have only the highest praises for Margaret Wong & Associates. Allison Chan in particular successfully navigated our case through the numerous obstacles and pitfalls to a successful outcome. In our initial visit, Margaret Wong laid out a multi-tiered legal flow chart of our case which included how various outcomes within the processing of the case could play out. In the end, the path of our case exactly followed her flow chart and was resolved closely within the time frame she stated it would take to be resolved. Margaret Wong & Associates is a fairly large immigration legal firm. The depth of knowledge and number of staff members they possess was very beneficial for our case. This was due to specialized staff members were available to quickly advise and work on aspects of our case helping with the preparation for our attorney. The cost of competent legal services are high, but the cost was very much worth it to my spouse and I. We both recommend Margaret Wong & Associates without hesitation, and give the firm a 5 out of 5 star rating in handling our case.

Ms. Chan and I are so humbled by your praise. We do work hard. Thank you also for being such an informed client! You apparently know quite well how this helps us. And thank you for describing so well how we communicated with you. Attorney communication is so important. New Americans have to have enormous confidence in their attorneys -- this is your life! Thank you.

Best of the best

I highly recommend Margaret Wong & Associates. They are the best of the best in all areas, professionalism, knowledge ability and services. My case had a long unsuccessful history, a 20 years of journey. I consulted with many attorneys, Mrs. Wong was the only attorney who gave me the confidence,... that my case would be in a good hand. Mrs. Wong, a great lawyer delivered what she said she would do. My case was assigned to Ms. Allison. She is a very dedicated professional, and is always available for questions. She is extremely detail, rather spent days to go over my giant files (over 1,000 pages) be familiar with the case instead rush for completion. It took over a year before the interview. Mr. William, another great attorney in the firm who came with me to the interview. Prior to the interview, I can feel that he spent a great deal of time going over my files. He's very well prepared, as if he took over my case from day one. His expertise and so knowledgeable gave me confidence that I could success. After two years, my case came to a happy ending. Margaret Wong & Associates changes my life, my family life. Thank you!
