Caroline Elizabeth Ostrom's Lawyer Endorsements
"Caroline is a highly respected figure in the immigration law community, and she has been a valued advisor to me in my own immigration practice. She has substantial expertise ranging from tech startups to family and humanitarian cases and a host of other immigration issues."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I strongly recommend Carolyn Ostrom for legal services in immigration law. Ms. Ostrom is a compassionate and skilled immigration attorney. As a family law attorney with a practice heavily focused on international issues, I often consult with Ms. Ostrom in cases involving complex immigration issues. I have found Ms. Ostrom's legal advice to be sound and insightful."
"I’ve known Caroline since 2000 while working as associates in the immigration practice group at Rider Bennett LLP. Caroline left to join Analysts International as in-house counsel, focused primarily on immigration-related employment issues, such as H-1B's and Labor Certifications. Consequently, Caroline has extensive knowledge and expertise in business-related immigration issues. I know first hand and will attest to Caroline's competence, professionalism and ethics, as well as her clients' satisfaction. Without reservation I refer complex immigration/employment cases to her, knowing that persons seeking superior service will be satisfied and their issues will be resolved."
"I have known Caroline for several years, going back to her time as in-house immigration counsel at Analysts International. At Analysts she worked on immigration but also employment law and corporate law and contracts. We have collaborated on many projects. Caroline is a diligent and careful lawyer with a strong background in employment-based and family-based immigration. Her corporate in-house experience is relatively unique to the immigration private practice bar. She is ethical and honest and takes seriously her responsibility to clients and obtaining the best results possible. She has extensive experience with technology and IT-related clients, as well as experience in other industries. I am happy to recommend Caroline and have referred clients to her in the past when conflicts of interest or workload issues have arisen in my practice."
