Best immigration lawyer in the Chicago area

We're (I and my wife) very happy with Davidson & Seseri's excellent service. They're always kind, helpful, and very informative for all immigration-related legal processes. Yilka is a great lawyer, and Fabiano is a great legal writer. They always helped us whenever needed, and get the job done. They ...are preparing your documents not only with what you provide them, but they're also amazing researchers. They are working as research-based and detail-oriented. We have been impressed by their passion for complex cases. I definitely highly recommend the firm and would like to thank you all the team from here as well.

25 Star Attorney

YlLka and her team is amazing! Instead of wasting your time with unprofessional attorneys she is the only one to work. I made a mistake and I worked with some other attorney and he caused me a total mess. From the day 1 and until my interview process she and her team had very satisfied information an...d right decisions. My case was at the office for 5 years with no respond and I started working with them they helped me a lot and finally I granted. They are really good about what they do, and they will be giving you best advices and right information for your case. She was also really professional during my 3 hours interview. And of course Fabiano! He was very professional and experienced with the endless forms. Questions you got from him that will be the key for your case. Whatever document I had to prepare for my interview he was very informed and good. I wish i would be started earlier with her office but that is definitely OK. I would definitely recommend Yllka to work with. She is the top immigration lawyer with her team for sure.

extremely caring and insightful attorney

Before we met Yllka which was 10 years ago we went to few immigration attorneys they all let us file for naturalization only to back off at the last moment before the interview. It was a very difficult case. She was upfront with our case and told us to wait which showed she actually cared for my case.... Fast forward 10 years she had fall back plans if the original plan did not work. Her strategies were spot on at the end. She is the best attorney i had. She got the result that she told us would get. She is the best attorney you can find in my view. Wont hesitate recommending her to anybody who needs immigration advice. Thank you Yllka

Amazing Attorney and very easy to work with. I do recommend!

Outstanding Job by Yllka and her team, she was able to accomplish in less than 9 month what other attorneys cannot do in years!!! I was in immigration court and other attorneys told me that it might take years till my situation will be resolved, but Yllka was able to get me individual hearing in mont...hs and walked out of immigration court room with Permanent Resident Status and got my green card by mail in 4 weeks! Again, I cannot thank you enough and I do recommend Yllka to others!

Very professional, knowledgeable & dedicated lawyer

I hired Ms Yllka for my I-751 (Removal of conditions) case. My case got approved due to her dedication and step by step guidance. She was very responsive and connected with me during the process of my case. I’ll always be thankful to her. Best wishes for her future and I believe that she will contin...ue helping people by her experience, knowledge and hard work.

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.
