Clear & effective

We contacted Martha after reaching out 3 immigration lawyers and having terrible experiences. When it comes to immigration issues is easy to play with peoples’ hopes, Martha was fresh air. Since the first call, Martha was straight forward and realistic, she thoroughly explained the rules that applied..., most common/ possible outcomes in my case, time frames and requirements I had to meet. She didn’t over simply things nor came up with patchwork solution (considering my level of anxiety at that time), she came up with long term solutions that would take up some time but also were attainable. Together we set up a deadline to file everything needed and together made it happen 2 weeks before the date we agreed (even in the middle of her time off her team kept the engine running). Every time a notice was sent (the same day I received it via mail) I would get an email from Martha or her team explaining what that meant and updating me on the next steps. Her close follow up made me feel so confident that my case was on good hands and in good track. Eventually and way faster than we both were expecting, my case was resolved successfully. I can’t emphasize enough how decisive was having Martha legally but also emotionally.

The Absolute Best

I began working with Martha after a decade of having my immigration process handled by attorneys that worked for my employers and everything changed immediately. Martha was invested in my personal story and circumstances and took all the time I needed to talk me through the options and process. She... was consistently professional, knowledgable, and compassionate. She even leveraged her network to get specific information about my interview site in the Bay Area which was invaluable the day of my naturalization interview. She's the BEST.

Exceptional Experience, Knowledgable & Confident Immigration Attorney

We met with Marta after seeing three other attorneys who were very uninformed about the eligibility for my husband’s AOS. It was clear from our first consultation how experienced and well informed Marta was of the law itself. Marta’s extreme level of detail, close reading of the law is what gave us a... winning argument for my husband's green card. Throughout the application process for I-130, I-485 & I-601 waivers we continued to see the same level of detail and care. This was especially important during a tumultuous time under the Trump administration making form changes, and new rule filings. Marta always kept herself up to speed on the internal changes in USCIS and updated us on these changes as well. We felt very confident and well protected during these times to have Marta as our immigration attorney. Marta was always very responsive and available for our questions or concerns throughout the entire process. Marta was very honest with the challenges of our case and maintained a healthy level of skepticism going through the a variety of the options available to us. We are forever grateful of Marta’s compassion, dedication, open communication and hard work for helping us get my husband’s green card with success. We look forward to working with her in the future for securing his citizenship process.

Effective Immigration Attorney

I was seeking to sponsor my parents for Permanent Residency status. We met with Marta and she was both compassionate in our endeavors and strategic in her recommendation. Her knowledge base and experience were evident as she guided us through this complicated process and clearly defined pros and co...ns of the numerous options available. She provided a very concise analysis of our situation and we all agreed on an strategy. In the end, it was definitely the right approach as we received our PR approval in an expeditious manner. Marta was very specific in what documents we should provide and that resulted in no questions or requests for additional information from CIS. This process has opened my eyes on how difficult and complicated the immigration process is. I can't imagine going through this on my own and I am very fortunate to have had Marta counseling us.

Consultation review

My husband and I, met with Marta regarding my immigration status. We literally had no idea where to start or what to do. We were scared, overwhelmed and confused. Marta met with us and in plain language and a calming manner gave us the much needed clarity and understanding we needed. She is unbelieva...bly knowledgeable, without be condescending or making it more confusing. She helped us write out where to go next, what information we needed to gather and what forms to start going through. I have absolutely no doubt that I will use Marta's services, should I need them in the future. Thank you!

"Martha is a smart, fierce, and compassionate attorney in immigration practice, and I recommend her services unreservedly. I have known Martha for nearly two decades and have had many occasions to see her work, which is of the highest quality. She is frank with her clients about what is possible and then advocates zealously for the best outcome for them in both affirmative and contested cases. She is also a friend to Chicago's immigrant communities, providing support and assistance to local organizations, as well as a quality referral--not always easy to find--for complex cases. I would recommend her (and have recommended her) to any friend or client."
