Green Card Approved!

Highly recommend Attorney Milla! He and his assistant, Izela, made our green card application process as smooth and stress-free as an adjustment of status can be. Incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. We’re so grateful for his help!

US Green Card Approved

US Green Card for my daughter just got approved in Illinois, thanks to the tireless work done by Mr. Robert Milla and Ms. Eyzuri Segovia. When the need to file for my daughter's Permanent Residence Status came, it was an uphill task for us parents being US non residents. I finally settled on Robert M...illa & Associates law firm after long night hours of reading US Immigration lawyers online reviews. I trusted that Robert and his team would handle my daughter's immigration filing despite being thousands of miles away from USA. Robert is a polished and smart US immigration lawyer who understands how to navigate through the process and get his clients approved for permanent resident status. Robert and Eyzuri follows up and makes sure required documents are filed on time with the Immigration department and provides updates to the clients in a timely manner. My best wishes for Robert Milla & Associates law firm.

Highly recommend Robert!

I am a US citizen. In 2017 June I planned to file for my mother’s permanent residency. At that time my mother was in US on B2 ( visitor visa). I googled for best immigration attorney in Chicago -Milla & Associates popped up! Let me tell you, Robert and his team lived up to the reviews!!! We s...tarted with talking to Robert and he provided hours worth of advise to file permanent residency for my mother. Robert was very patient and answered all our questions and spotted an issue with our case right away. He gave us the option to file myself or to go via him. I went with option of filing myself hoping the issue he spotted won’t become a trouble. Even after deciding to file myself, I had a few follow up questions which he answered over the phone. 4 months later we got a NOID( notice of intent to deny) for the same reason Robert spotted in the first place. We hired him for Respone to NOID. It was such a stressful time preparing and providing supporting documents for the rebuttal response within 30 days. Robert and his team guided what docs needed to be prepared and answered our questions promptly, and was ready to help with any queries and follow up questions. Robert prepared a very strong rebuttal response to the NOID and sent on time. During the period of waiting for an answer from USCIS, he promptly answered my concerns on renewing EAD for my mother. Robert always had a very specific, accurate and clear answer to any queries. And many months later we received an RFE for response to NOID( which in itself is a BIG relief) as NOID was off the plate and USCIS was giving us one more chance. Robert and his team again stepped up to the challenge and gave very specific detailed guidance to prepare the right set of documents and verified and sent them on time. And in September we got the best news we were praying and hoping to hear for the last 2 years, my mother’s Permanent Residency is approved!!! We are very grateful to God and thankful to Robert and his team! We highly recommend Milla and Associates!!!

The best you can get in Chicago!!

I met a few lawyers for my Citizenship / N400 filing. My case was complicated and most of the lawyers I met were willing to do it but didnt give me the confindence that will go through. Finally I met Robert, who explained every single detail, chances of approval and course of action in case of a deni...al and how to proceed. Right then and there, i decided I wanted to go with him....Thank You Robert for all the help and for attending the interview with me...Decision was made in 30 days and im waiting to attend the Oath Ceremony now... Thank You!!

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.
