An attorney who cares about your family and wants to fight for you.

Yllka was the most caring, patient, intelligent, sympathetic lawyer I have ever met. My husband and I were struggling with a deportation case that was extremely complex and required many long steps to be taken in order for my husband to have a chance at a normal life here in the United states with hi...s family. We consulted with many lawyer's before we were blessed to find Yllka. Other attorneys seemed careless and only about the money but Yllka worked with us and gave us all the resources we needed to get through one of the worst times in our lives. She was extremely compassionate and knew exactly what had to be done. Everyone else n the office was great and caring and always responded to our concerns asap. I would recommend Yllka and Davidson and Schiller to everyone and anyone dealing with any kind of immigration problems. My husband had no other chance according to other attorneys but Yllka knew what to do and now my husband has recently and successfully been approved for the provisional waiver all thanks to Yllka. Our case was not an easy one but she still knew how to win our case. She is outstanding and goes above and beyond. Every step of the way was a breeze for my husband and I all thanks to the quick actions of our attorney and her team. They made this process shockingly easy at such a scary stressful time in our lives. If you feel afraid and hopeless do not anymore, Yllka and her team will do everything they can and will give you the best outcome possible.

Best Immigration Attorney ever!

Yllka is simply the best immigration attorney ever. Period. We sought her counsel regarding a Citizenship issue for my wife after working with 2 different law firms and consulting with at least 5 other attorneys. The modus operandi for most firms was to make money out of us because of the complexit...y of our case. Both other firms did not even have the legal acumen to chart a course towards our legal defense. In that scenario Yllka helped us out like a God-send. In my mind, two things made her awesome - 1) empathy for our situation and a humane demeanor at all times and 2) expertise of Family Immigration law so as to provide the best path forward. Throughout this process, my wife and I don't recall an instance of when she was not smiling and humble enough to help us. Eventually she was able to find a path towards Citizenship and help bring my wife's problems to a resolution. Thank You Yllka - you have been absolutely awesome!

I highly recommend Yllka to anyone that needs help with any Immigration issues! We switch my previous lawyer to Yllka because they don't know how to work with my case for 13 years and Yllka resolve the case in 6 Months, I can't believe how fast she works. thank you Yllka for all your help!

Knows her stuff

After going to three different lawyers, Yllka was the only one who gave us hope. All of the other lawyers told my husband he was not eligible to fix his immigration status without being barred outside the US for 10 years. After meeting with her and telling her about my husband she said he was eligibl...e for I-601A, Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver. It was a lengthy process, but so worth it. He had his consulate interview in Mexico and came back as a legal resident one week later after his interview.

Excellent immigration attorney

I had a very complicated case that unfortunately a previous attorney had given me some poor advice. Yllka and her associates at Davidson and Schiller quickly got my case moving in the right direction. Yllka has a acute understanding of the complexities of modern immigration law and her cofidence in m...y eventual positive outcome was very comforting. If you are reading this and looking for a immigration attorney you can trust to put forth a 100% effort, please don't hesitate for one minute to retain Yllka Seseri an intelligent, hard working attorney, who really cares about her clients.
