Outstanding service and attention

Sarah provides outstanding service on a variety of employment-related immigration matters, especially as they relate to physicians and individuals who have reached the top of their fields. She is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable and reliable and is very good at dealing with particularly compl...ex cases. I would strongly recommend Sarah to anyone in the Minneapolis area seeking immigration related legal services.

Sarah Peterson Stensrud is a Top Notch Immigration Attorney

Sarah and I have worked together on employment based immigration for Starkey Hearing Technologies for the past 4 years. Sarah goes the extra mile to ensure that her clients are successful in their immigration journey. She communicates with each client to make sure they know where they are in their ...immigration process. She also regularly communicates with me, the employer representative, to give me status updates and let me know about the ever-changing immigration environment and how it may affect each case. Together, Sarah and I have worked on over 40 successful cases. I give her my highest recommendation.
