Margaret A. Donnelly

I have know Margaret Donnelly for over 20 yrs. I used Margaret's law firm to retrieve documents for my wife who is from Mexico. Margaret is extremely knowledgeable on immigration law. I have discovered many individuals hope for positive outcomes when the chances for success is extremely limited f...or their success. Many clients forget that they are also responsible to provide documents in a timely manner so the attorney & staff are able to process the documents. Margaret has faught for her clients to keep them here & not to be deported. Margaret has worked with the Latino community for over 45 yrs especially with immigration. Margaret is know for helping immigrants in their search for employment in the community, even in her own law firm. Margaret has written several books, & produced documentaries dealing with immigration. Because of this interaction through-out Mexico, & South America she was nominated for the Noble Peace Prize in 2022. I would highly recommend Margaret A. Donnelly to represent anybody who is seeking help in immigration law.

I would recommend to everyone

I have referred several people to Margaret Donnelly's firm. They work as a team on each case. I know of several cases that have been to other attorneys for help with immigration that were told they could not help, or had tried, but failed to get approval.  Margaret Donnelly, PC successfully got their... papers. She only does immigration, and has something like 40 years experience

Negligence

I hired this lawyer to work on my case, I was here illegally and I filed my petition through my U.S. born father. Every time I asked for updates, employees from this office would tell me there was nothing we could do but wait, so we waited. After my father passed, they told me my petition was dead an...d I had no other options. Now years later, I come to find out my petition was approved back in 2004. And even though I wasn't able obtain residency through my father the initial paperwork will be of use when I petition through my daughter. Margaret Donnelly's office did not inform me of this even after I repeatedly asked if there could be any other options for me in the future. This was negligence at its' finest and this attorney doesn't care for her client's well-being, she just wants as much money as she can get. Beware.

Referral Made Good

I had the occasion to use Margaret Donnelly for an employee of mine who needed help with a work visa in the U.S. My employee was a little nervous about the process which is often the case. The process went much smoother than both of us feared would be the case and was solved satisfactorily. Thank you... Margaret for helping with this important issue.

More experienced and it shows

I always send people in my network who need immigration help to this attorney because she has got almost 40 years of experience and most others in her industry cannot touch her reputation with me and others who have benefited from her and her top notch staff.
