Review KiKi Mosley

Most honest and hard working lawyer I've met

Posted by

I hired Kiki last April. She was a tremendous blessing. Very knowledgeable, direct and well prepared everytime we met. I always received quick responses and updates about my case. She is trustworthy and sympathetic to my family's and my case. even the fees seemed more than reasonable. I will defenetly will hire her in the future and have referred her to friends.

Amazing quality, definitely recommend this attorney

Posted by

Kiki is an exceptional attorney, from the day I hired her she has been nothing but good help. She patiently advises me and always keeps me up to date. Overall I am pleased with her services and would definitely recommend her to anyone who is interested in having an attorney handle their immigration case.

Excellent lawyer amazing person ! Highly recommended!

Atty. Kiki M Mosley was a pleasure to work with. She would quickly provide answers to my questions and insight to other things I didn't know of. She also took the time to answer my email , phone calls when I had some additional questions about our case which assured me that she's dependable. She is very knowledgeable and organized our information accordingly and thoroughly. Kiki put a lot of time and effort for our case to be processed quickly I'm so thankful and blessed for everything she did to get my husband green card approved! In less than 6 months!!! For now he got gc for 2 yrs couse we married less than 6 months we will apply for 10 yrs one after 1,5 year that’s our next step And goal . We met her on May 1 st two weeks after she collected all information sent our application. I think it was hard for her to understand us due to our English is a second language and it was barrier of communication specially with my husband who dosent speak English well . She make sure we understand her well and she explained everything so clearly . She took some time and look wisely to find us polish interpreter for our practice before interview and also on the day of interview. I highly recommend her as a immigration lawyer . We already asked her to representative us for next step which it will be for 10 yrs green card and than for citizenships for my husband. I can’t imagine do all this without her !!!! Kiki once again thank you for everything you had done for us , being part of our journey and helping us to get my husband green card so quickly. We couldn’t ask for better gift for Christmas.

Awesome Lawyer!

I have never met a more resilient and persistent lawyer like Kiki. She fought for me until I got my residency. Kiki knows what she's doing and she genuinely cares for her clients. She's a hard worker with a heart for justice. I remember when she went out of her way to look for files that were over 20 years old just for me. There are very few people in the field who represent their clients with a sincere desire to help those who are in need and rightfully deserve justice. I am forever grateful for Kiki and her staff. Their hard work and dedication to my case gave me a second change in life.

Kiki Mosley is a very special Attorney that fights aggressively to win, and refuses defeat for just cases! We are so grateful that she was by our side throughout the way!

Kind and meticulous

Posted by

My husband and I hired KiKi to assist us with the green card process. Not only was she accommodating of different time zones and travel through Skype meetings, but also she was personable and professional always. She would make calls to verify all paperwork was being processed if we did not hear back in a timely manner from USCIS, caught clerical mistakes in paperwork filed by outside sources, and was always reachable through email or phone. KiKi is extremely careful and attentive and we would highly recommend her!

Exceptional support in K1 Processing

Posted by

KiKi’s savviness in navigating the visa process (particularly in a difficult political climate) was a lifesaver for us. Her candid style in advising and execution created a solid environment of trust, and we can’t imagine having gone through the process without her expertise. She does truly important work, and she does it with sincere compassion and dedication for her clients.

The most professional attorney I’ve ever worked with.

Posted by

She was my attorney in asylum case. I’m really impressed by her professionalism and responsibility. She prepares everything that is needed in proper way and on time. After applying, I got an approval in few months. I’m really glad to have a chance to work with Kiki. I strongly recommend her.

I would highly recommend Kiki Mosley to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and needs. With unvarnished truth she will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. If the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Kiki Mosley again.

Honest, Knowledgeable, Responsive- Highly recommend

Posted by

We officially hired KiKi in 2016 and am thankful to say ended in early April 19' with my husband obtaining permanent resident status. Throughout the entire process she was extremely knowledgeable, quick to respond, supportive, had reasonable fees, pleasant to be be around, and just as important- honest. I would recommend KiKi in an instant! My husband had 2 prior drug-related charges that made him ineligible to apply for permanent residence in the US. We got married in 2013 and were advised by a trusted immigration firm to expunge these charges and apply...which was wrong. When we were ready (or at least thought) to begin the process (after paying 500$ to expunge these records) in 2014, we scheduled a consultation with KiKi based on her online reviews. That consultation rocked our world as she informed us that the original advice we received was wrong and the true steps required, which included working with a criminal lawyer to vacate the 2 charges. 2 years later we were blessed to have both charges vacated and were finally able to apply. Although this overall process was longer than we expected, we are thankful we chose KiKi!
