Citizenship
Ms.Michelle Neal is an incredible lawyer. She helped me in more ways then expected to get my citizenship. She was able to be present during my citizenship interview. Stayed on top of making sure I studied for my test. Because of her push and help I was able to pass my exam. Ms.Neal was very patient with me and was a wonderful communicator which is a major plus.Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance.

A Thoughtful, Skilled Attorney
Whether your immigration situation is straight forward or complicated, the US immigration system is extremely complicated and even the most intelligent, educated immigrants can be tripped up and find their cases denied. In order to successfully navigate the US immigration system one requires an attorney like Michelle Neal. Michelle has a thorough knowledge of US immigration law and processes. Her attention to detail, preparing me for my interview, ensuring I had all of the required documents ready, and much more was invaluable. With her help I sailed through the process smoothly and easily. I would highly recommend her as an attorney, because to her, you won't be "just another case". She will put in the research and work to ensure that your case has the best possible outcome. If you need a thoughtful, skilled attorney who will handle your case with the utmost care and professionalism, then Michelle Neal MUST be your choice!

AOS Marraige to USC
We had a good experience working with Michelle. She was available to answer any questions we had and she explained them in detail. Her hours were very flexible and she was willing to work around our schedule. The process of AOS interview was very smooth because she prepared us very well and was also present at the interview. Overall, i will work with her again for any immigration matter in future.

Help with green card
Michelle was so kind to speak to my fiancé and me after work hours. She was very knowledgeable about the process of obtaining a green card and walked us through each step we need to take, when to do it, and how long it will take. I feel much more comfortable about going through this process after speaking with her. And I know if I have anymore follow up questions, she will be happy to answer them. If we end up using an attorney for the process, we will definitely use her.

Immigration expert
I want to take the time to highly recommend Attorney Neal. She provides one on one attention personable expert knowledge for all of my immigration needs from H1B to permanent residency and adjustment of status/citizenship. No middle man - small firm, high touch experience. With all the different requirements and changes for each filing. I had a complicated and Attorney Neal took the time to review each step and give a realistic time line. I was very pleased with my experience and success of my cases based on her advice and preparation.

Excellent attorney
Attorney Michelle Neal, is the most knowledgeable immigration attorney I have met. She help me and my daughter adjust my status. We were deportable after the previous attorney fail to submit the correct documents. She took the case and we were able to adjust and now we are both citizens. I highly recommend her.
