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.

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.

Excellent immigration attorney

Laura Fernandez was our attorney for my husband's I-601 and I-212 waiver. His waivers had previously been denied twice when we had a different attorney representing us. I consulted with a number of attorneys including Laura after the second denial, and I felt that Laura was our best option as far a...s someone who thoroughly understood our case and the challenges we were facing as well as an attorney who is easy to communicate with, hard-working and reliable. I was not disappointed in any way. She was very easy to work with and gave us clear, detailed instructions on what information she needed from us (e.g. what kinds of letters, documents for proof, etc.) and gave quick, clear feedback when the documentation we provided was lacking in some way. She took the time to create a personalized approach to our case and wrote a fantastic brief explaining our very complicated story (she's an excellent writer). I had previously worked with a very experienced, highly regarded immigration attorney and my experience working with Laura was better in every way. The best part, of course, is that my husband's waivers were finally approved and he was able to return to the US as a Legal Permanent Resident after being gone for almost 7 years. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking an immigration attorney.
