Exceptional Immigration Lawyer - Ms. Lorentz Delivers Outstanding Service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ms. Lorentz for my dad's green card application, and I cannot express how satisfied I am with her services. From the beginning to the end, Ms. Lorentz demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly sets her apart. The entire process, in...cluding the preparation of the I-130 and I-485 forms, went incredibly smoothly, thanks to Ms. Lorentz's meticulous attention to detail. Her knowledge of immigration law is impressive, and she has a remarkable ability to communicate complex legal matters in a clear and understandable way. Communication with Ms. Lorentz was always a breeze. She was responsive, approachable, and took the time to address any concerns or questions we had. Her dedication to keeping us informed at every step of the process was truly appreciated. One of the standout qualities of Ms. Lorentz is her efficiency. The green card applications were not only prepared impeccably but also resulted in approval within an astonishingly short period – just four months. This expedited process speaks volumes about her commitment to her clients and mastery of immigration procedures. I am immensely grateful for Ms. Lorentz's exceptional work, which has now granted my dad the privilege of permanent residency. If you are in need of an immigration lawyer who combines expertise, clear communication, and swift results, I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Lorentz. Thank you for your outstanding service!

Excellent immigration attorney

It has been a great pleasure working with Attorney Lucy Lu on my EB2-NIW petition which was approved within 6 months. I was greatly impressed by Lucy’s professionalism and enthusiasm during my entire filing process. My case was considered weak and rejected by multiple law firms before I reached out ...to Lucy. She carefully reviewed my documents, drafted my petition and recommendation letters, and provided valuable feedback in a quick, targeted, and efficient way. I couldn’t have made it without her professional support. She continued answering my miscellaneous questions up to today. I would highly recommend her to whoever needs immigration services.

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!

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.

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.
