Knowledgeable lawyer; highly recommend

Ms. Lorentz provided advisory support to us regarding work visa processes of potential international hires. She was very knowledgeable about the subject, attentive to our needs and an excellent communicator. She was a joy to deal with. I would highly recommend Ms. Lorentz!

Great to work with

Consulted with Lucy over a complicated immigration matter. She is very professional and friendly. She always answers my questions on time and gives guidance on next steps. I am excited and looking forward to working with her. I would recommend her to anyone seeking an immigration attorney.

Very knowledgeable and responsible immigration attorney

Lucy is very knowledgeable to explain detailed processes of each step for my i140 cases. My NIW case was approved within 5 months at NSC without RFE. Im now working on EB1-A case with her. She was very patient to answer a lot of my questions that were very crucial for the case. She is very responsibl...e on the timeline and checking with me routinely. I like her team a lot. I want to also highlight Mary and Freya. Freya was on my J1 waiver case, she is very experienced and knowledgeable as well. Mary is so great to sort documents and she made beautiful charts for me. Thank you again Lucy, Freya and Mary. I highly recommend them as one of the top law firms in Madison WI area.

H-1B Renewal

Lucy kept us posted on every step she took for our H-1B renewal. We always had copies of documents and correspondence. She always answered all our questions and suggestions promptly. She made the entire renewal process easy, efficient, and successful. This is the second time we have used her se...rvices and we are very satisfied.

H1-B Success!

We own a small business and decided to seek an H1-B Visa for our only employee. As we are not Apple, Microsoft or another well known firm seeking an H1-B, we had serious doubts about the potential for our success. We knew that it would be vital to work with an exceptional legal team who would care a...bout the needs of our small business. When we met Attorneys Lucy Lorentz and Freya Katkowsky, we knew that they were the right team to work on this for us. Attorney Lorentz drafted a strong H-1B application and when we had a request for more evidence, she persisted, gathering and drafting a document that met and exceeded every requirement that was asked of us. This led to the approval of an H-1B Visa for our employee which was an exceptional outcome. Katkowsky Immigration Services did an an amazing job for us.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
