Excellent Immigration Attorney, Very Happy with the Positive Results

Attorney Glorily A. Lopez is an excellent immigration attorney. Hands down, she is one the very the best in her field. My family has been assisted over a period of more than 15 years by Attorney Lopez. During this period, we have great, positive results. She also has a wonderful team of trusted pr...ofessionals, whom we have also loved working with. We have referred to Attorney Lopez about 7 other clients (friends and colleagues) over the years and all of them have had excellent results following Attorney Lopez’s expert legal guidance and advice. She is top-notch. She is unparallelled in her attention to detail and in executing legal strategies. Attorney Lopez is a true star and a real-life warrior, who fights every single day for immigrants and the people who love them! We are so lucky to have someone of her legal talents and acumen in this world, particularly now during the administration of President Trump.

Straightforward, knowledgeable, reliable and helpful

Glorily helped me with my student visa and employment authorization matters. As a recently-graduated international student, my knowledge about immigration law was minimal. However, I knew I wanted to stay in the country in order to kick-start my career, without doing something that would jeopardize m...y future immigration options. Glorily helped me navigate the complexities of immigration law, and I was able to understand what my situation meant and what my options were. She was straightforward in letting me know that my previous plan (obtaining a work-related visa) was not viable, and she was thorough in explaining why my credentials did not meet the requirements for such visas. She was also helpful in identifying a strategy that ultimately allowed me to do what I wanted: advance my professional career in the United States, while complying with immigration laws and regulations. This was a strategy that fitted my needs, that I could afford, and most importantly, that worked. As I continue my immigrant journey in this country, without a doubt, Glorily is the first person I will contact when I'm in need of legal help.

Knowledgeable, experienced attorney who truly cares about her clients

Attorney Glorily López is an excellent immigration attorney! She has assisted my fiancée and I with our immigration matters and we are extremely happy with her services. Attorney López has great attention to detail and meticulously prepares cases, leaving no risk for unexpected outcomes. Most importa...ntly, she truly cares about her clients and treats them as such. She took care to explain each step of the process to me and my fiancée, so that there would not be any surprises along the way. Attorney López has a wealth of knowledge and experience that is absolutely necessary for any successful immigration case. Immigration cases can have life-changing impacts and I would not trust anyone else with my own case. I would recommend Attorney López to any friend or relative in need of a reliable, effective immigration attorney!

Glorily Lopez- Professional & Knowledgeable Immigration Attorney

Glorily Lopez came very highly recommended as an immigration lawyer by our personal family attorney and I can see why. Glorily did an awesome job assisting my sister-in-law with an extremely complicated immigration case. My brother passed away in a foreign country in which he had lived several yea...rs, became married and had two children. My sister-in-law and her two children came to the U.S. for his funeral on a temporary visa and during that time, we hired Glorily Lopez to represent her as she applied for the proper documents needed to stay here lawfully in the U.S. We met with Glorily several times and she was empathetic towards my sister-in-law and knew exactly what was needed and helped us gather the information needed for her case. Glorily helped us obtain an l-797, Notice of Action: Approval Notice for I-360 Self-Petition for Widow of U.S. Citizen; l-797, Notice of Action: Approval Notice for I-485 Application to Adjust Status to Legal Permanent Residence; and l-797, Notice of Action: Request for Applicant to Appear for Initial Interview for I-485 Application to Adjust Status to Legal Permanent Residence. Glorily and her assistants were very professional, knowledgeable and did an excellent job preparing my sister-in-law's case for her immigration interview as well as organizing all her forms, photos and affidavits needed. Glorily was wonderful when describing what type of questions and information that my sister-in-law would be required to answer in her interview with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The person conducting the interview actually complimented Glorily on how organized the files were that she presented for the interview. I would highly recommend Glorily Lopez as an immigration lawyer for those seeking legal representation for matters of this kind.
