Great experience!

My husband and I came to Sara after getting married so that we could get him permanent resident status following our marriage. She was an absolute joy to work with. From our first meeting she made sure we were informed about our situation, she made sure we knew all of the steps in the process, and en...sured that we were well prepared every step of the way. We were really happy with how quickly she was able to put together all our applications and send them off. We had my husbands employment authorization within just a few months of getting married, which was a huge relief. Sara always gave us very clear instructions as to what she needed from us as clients and provided a number of checklists regarding documents we needed to bring in. She was always pleasant, professional, and very attentive. Anytime we had a question she would reply promptly. When it came time to prepare us for our immigration interview she did an excellent job of making sure to really go over all the possible things that would be asked of us while still making us feel comfortable and confident in the process. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

Trustworthy

Sara has been helping my wife get her green card to the States. Sara has been with us every step of the way. I have felt reassured and always knew that she was on top of the ball. Friendly and respectful. She understands the importance of what this means personally to her clients and excels at empath...y. I think I am most grateful for the promptness she has always shown us at responding to our questions. No question was ever too silly or too complicated. Within hours I would have an answer, and if she needed to consult someone because of our unique experience I would hear within 24 hours. Immigration can obviously be an anxious time for anyone looking to go to the U.S., however, Sara was always quick to give us hope and put us at ease. As she walked alongside us in our immigration case, I had a sense of security and confidence. I could trust Sara. I am so glad we asked Sara to work with us. It has been a pleasure, and we know that we have someone always fighting in our corner. We recommend Sara 100%.

Sara Bartos is the best lawyer there could be; I will always highly recommend her. She is very knowledgeable, honest, and professional. She has been great not only to me but to my whole family. My family and I are forever grateful to her!

Very knowledgeable and thorough lawyer

I could not have a better lawyer for my case anyone than Sara Bartos. There is no immigration case as complicated and difficult as mine. Since 2001 every petition i filed under a previous lawyer was denied until i got held at an immigration detention. then my brother hired Sara Bartos and things star...ted to look better. Though it is not her direct responsibility, I find that her office charges a lot for their services. Judging by her qualities, i would recommend her to anyone in desperate situation. She will give you so many options and explain everything thoroughly. I am very satisfied with the services i got from Immigration Attorneys LLP.
