THE Best IN THE TWIN CITIES.

I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with ALYSSA NGUYEN SCHMITZ and the staff in navigating the complex process of obtaining permanent residency for my mother in the United States. From the very first consultation with the lawyer ALYSSA, it was clear that I was in the hands of true profes...sionals who genuinely care about their clients.. If you need an immigration attorney who is honest, direct, and fiercely committed to your success, (nguyenfirm)ALYSSA is who you want by your side. I will always recommend her/she has truly been a blessing in our life. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING

She’s beautiful and BRILLIANT

I was facing serious charges and my life was stake and I was innocent. I fired my attorney because he gave me poor advice and dragged my case on and on. I was extremely stressed out but as soon as I hired Alyssa, I felt at ease and even though she said she could not guarantee results, I felt I could ...trust her, like she actually cared and was willing to fight for me. Within two weeks of hiring her she got my case dismissed. I was previously with a very large firm and “top notch” attorney and I paid a lot but he couldn’t get the result that Alyssa got! I highly recommend her!

Top notch lawyer!

Alyssa is a very competent, no-nonsense with a kind heart lawyer - a rare combination these days. She communicated upfront what the expectations were; all the paper work needed; and when we can expect the work permit. She reviewed the submitted materials in great details. Everything was spot on. ... In fact, we received the papers two weeks sooner!

Amazing lawyer

I hire Alyssa a year ago because another lawyer screwed up our case. Alyssa was direct & honest what she could and could not do and she did an amazing job and we won our case. She and her assistant always let us know what was going always answered our questions. Unlike other attorney Alyssa was direc...t but we knew she cared about our case & wanted to help 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.
