Immigration 100%

I focus on family-based immigration, especially waivers of inadmissibility in the context of consular processing. However, I take any family-based cases, victim-based relief (VAWA and U), and some removal and asylum work.

Excellent attorney, a pleasure to work with.

I hired Laura to work on several petitions, which were all handled and completed successfully; from day one Laura was very easy to work with, answered all my questions in a timely manner, addressed any concerns I had. I highly recommend her services.

Great experience with Laura Fernandez

My wife and did our I-601 ourselves and had it sent back to us with a request for more information. I was out of my league and did not know how to proceed. Laura fixed everything for us and we had the waiver approved less than 2 weeks after the RFE was returned. My wife and son are now here in the... US. I am certain that without Laura Fernandez' help the waiver would have been denied. Laura was professional, easy going, well organized, efficient, and most of all, knew what she was doing. We are grateful to her.

Can't say enough

Laura handled my wife's I-601A case, where we ended up going to Juarez, Mexico for the visa interview. Laura was knowledgeable, patient and responsive during the entire process, especially considering her work load in dealing with other clients. While her expertise was a real plus, what also impresse...d us was her sincere desire to be of help and her genuine empathy regarding our situation. At the same time, she was very honest as to what we could and could not expect from going through the immigration process. She was very professional and prompt in caring for the details of our case. When we received the final package that was submitted to the consulate, it was very obvious that she did her homework and clearly organized the many facets of our unusual situation in order to maximize the possibility of our case being viewed positively. We are elated to say that my wife was granted her Permanent Residency in the U.S. and that Laura helped tremendously in not only successfully handling our case, but did so in a manner that was as comforting and informative to us as could be imagined, especially when we were understandably going through an experience that was very stressful and strange. As I stated in the title of our review, we can't say enough good and positive things about Laura. We give her our highest recommendation.
