Wow! If you want an attorney who is not afraid to be aggressive in your representation, call Irene Mugambi

First and foremost, I would like to say Irene Mugambi is among the best immigration attorneys around. If you are still deciding on which lawyer to pick and you have her in mind, go for it. A few things I can say about Irene, has the experience, I think this one sets her apart, she is thorough, detai...led, knowledgeable and professional. She has the ability to dissect a case with absolute calm. Nothing seems to rattle this lady or distract her from her goal on a case. She is an approachable and friendly attorney. She has good support staff Janet, and Esther, who will keep you updated on everything, I don’t think you will miss anything with them be it follow up calls or updates. Thanks for the person who recommended me to Irene, I haven’t regretted that decision. If you need a seasoned court/trial attorney, you may want to consider her.

The Best Immigration Lawyer!!

I came to Mrs. Mugambi's office after a bad experience with another lawyer. She was so helpful, understanding with my case and went above and beyond to help me. She was able to give me some options to be able to get my case approved. After all her hard work and her Legal Assistant Esther, I was app...roved for my DACA and work permit. I am so happy I came into her office!! I will definitely come back to get her help until I become a U.S. Citizen!!

Thank you!

We contracted Ms. Mugambi on June, 13, 2016-the same day of our initial consultation. My husband still had a deportation order on his case, even though he had been underTPS for years. She told us she could help him get his permanent residence, probably within the year, and she did!! She and her staff... were invaluable in helping us complete the paperwork, and promptly answered every question or concern. They never made us feel as if we were asking a dumb question, and were always so positive. Ms. Mugambi thoroughly prepped us for our interview, and he received his approval notice one week after the interview. All this happened within 7 1/2 months!! We will ALWAYS be grateful for all their hard work.

Excellent Immigration Attorney!

Ms Mugambi helped my dad with a complex SB1 (Returning resident visa) case out of Africa. I contacted her and wasn't 100% confident that the case would be successful. She took time to review the merits of the case and was very straightforward right from the beginning. She was attentive, organized, ca...ring and very professional. Ms Mugambi and her team organized tons of documentation in a logical and smart manner and guided us every step of the process. This resulted in a successful SB1 application for an LPR who had spent a few years out of the country. The visa was granted by the US embassy abroad and my dad is now back in the US with us. Ms Mugambi and her team were also very flexible with me as I was traveling a lot at the time, but we were able to stay connected through email. I am forever indebted to Ms Mugambi and her team.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
