You Wont Find a More Passionate Attorney

My husband and I have been working with Milica to try to get his citizenship for a number of years. She has always worked her hardest and has blown me away with her research, her ideas and thoughts and just the work she has done on our case. She thinks of everything under the sun. Recently my husban...d was detained and in a time when our worst nightmare came true as Milica was 100% there for us and was able to keep our family together. We dont have an easy case but Milica has always given us hope and helped us like we were her own family. We recommend her to anybody we know that is in need and words can't describe how amazing she is.

Guardian Angel

My father was picked up by ICE during a deportation sweep. Met Milica Sunday night around 11:30 pm at a non profit organization volunteering her time to answer questions and help families who didn't know what was happening. What was the worst time in my family's life was one of the best moments of ou...r life! Milica is straight to the point kinda girl, from the beginning she told me that she was not interested in taking money from clients, her main interest was fighting for her clients rights! In just a few minutes she inspired trust, confidence, and peace of mind. She is absolutely a brilliant attorney, fantastic at her job and very smart. She always responds promptly to my questions, texts, emails and is very clear about all aspects of the application process and her fees are extremely reasonable. I have never met anyone like Milica, she read my fathers case as if she was studying for an exam, she knows his case inside and out, his file is over 2,000 pages! Not only is she an amazing attorney but she treats you like family. She visited my father on his birthday while in detention and said that no one should ever be alone on their birthday and countless times after that. She said that she wanted to go over things with him about his case and also just so she can see how he's doing physically. I know we have a tough fight ahead of us, but I know with Milica leading the way, she'll get justice for my dad! I can't find the right words to express my appreciation for her legal knowledge, dedication and attention to details. I know her title is attorney but to me and my family she's a Guardian Angel! She's young but will blow any experienced attorney outta the waters! Through the years with other attorneys, they have only cared about $$$ but Milica, she's momma bear protecting her cubs, she is a the voice for those that are kept silent! With her hard work, honesty and dedication I'm certain she will be a judge! I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a top notch attorney.

IMMIGRATION ADVOCATE

I am a gay man married to a Mexican national man. My spouse and I have been together for over 12 years. When we made initial inquiries as to changing his legal status in the United States, as is now several years ago with another immigration lawyer, we were turned away because of a major legal challe...nge I posed. After the US supreme court decision of June 2015 protecting the right for same sex couples to marry, my spouse and I gave it one more try to see if I could sponsor him so that we could obtain legal status for him in the United States of America. Not only did Ms. Filipovic do her due diligence in research & advocacy for our case, but she investigated more deeply behind previous decisions as concerned us and the precedents that were being set. But it is her passion for what she does that determines how she accomplishes her goals with the excellence and modesty with which that happens. Milica Filipovic is the real deal! Her intelligence and drive make her good. Her genuine passion make her truly exceptional.
