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.

If you have a complex case, Laura is for you

We can't say enough positive things about Laura. We had a complex long-term case that required filing an I212 waiver (in addition to the I-130 and LPR app), and since Laura was one of the first in her field to successfully file that & similar types of filings, we sought her out. She handled our case ...expertly and adapted to the needs of the moment, updating our filing strategy to save us a ton of steps & $. She is very responsive, open to feedback, and works with you as well as for you. I've referred her to many friends also with complex cases who have had great results with her. Finally, the human element was key for us as our case and filing process has been drawn out over years and has been fraught with roller-coaster style trepidations and Laura never wavered in her compassion and patience for our unique situation. My husband was finally granted his visa last October, and we can't thank Laura enough for her patience, guidance, and support. For anyone else out there who has a complex case, Laura is right for you. And for anyone else who has doubts as to whether their case may have complexity, a consult with Laura would be well worth it.

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.
