Best lawyer ever

Ms. Sara was my lawyer through the whole process of getting my citizenship, she was great and very helpful through the whole process. She is very thorough, knowledgeable and treats her clients with respect. I highly recommend her and Immigration Attorney LLC

not just a lawyer, but a true human being and a guardian!

I would like to write a few words, in gratitude. Sara is not just an ordinary immigration lawyer. Yes, she sure has the magnificent knowledge and experience in her field, but what differentiates her from her pals, is her genuine sense of care and commitment to her clients. Anyone who has to go throu...gh US immigration process knows it is not a walk in the park. Sara generously shares your anxiety, your pain, your frustration and the joy with you.She knows what it is like to be an "immigrant" .she bends backwards to deliver on her promises. She is dedicated to her work. She always responds. She is humble, she is kind...i can go on and on, She is, first a true human being, then a top notch savage lawyer. Sara fights for you like her own life depends on it. She Shouts for you when you need to be heard, she holds your hand when you need help. I feel honored to have met her and have the pleasure of being her client. If it was not for her, i would not have succeeded on this bumpy journey. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Sara, I am forever in your debt. keep up the good work!

I cannot say enough good things about Sara. She replied to every email immediately, responded to every phone call. Was extremely detailed and knowledgeable when going over my difficult case. Dealing with an immigration issue is extremely nerve wrecking and Sara eased a lot of that strain. She is ex...tremely passionate about what she does and she truly cares about her clients. I have worked with other immigration attorneys before and am so thankful that Sara Bartos & Stephen Berman were recommended to me. I truly belie I would not be where I am today were it not for them. Thank you so much Sara.

I highly recommend Stephen Berman and Sara Bartos, and their firm, Immigration Attorneys, LLP, for help with immigration. I came to Stephen when my relative had recently been granted asylum but had no documentation of his status from the court. Both Stephen and Sara came with me in person to... USCIS to help get the documents we needed, and then helped get my relative his green card. I believe Stephen and Sara are extremely knowledgeable, experienced, caring, and creative. I recommend them for help with immigration.

She really did an amazing job,on my VAWA. to the extend that. They didn't call me for an interview. They just sent my permanent residence to me. It was a Dream come true to me. Can't stop thanking her and God for making everything so easy for me.
