SAVED ME FROM DEPORTATION!!!

Due to my criminal background I was in immigration detention and removal proceedings, with other attorneys telling me I had no chance at all of staying in the United States. Mrs. Mugambi & associates accepted my case and successfully represented me, stopped removal proceedings and were able to get m...e legally reinstated in the United States in an extremely short time without charging me exorbitant sums of money. Me and my family owe Mrs. Mugambi for our second chance at the American dream.

She is very professional & eased my mind ...through the whole process! I got my status card & can't thank her & her staff enough!! Hire her & you will be amazed at her competence! Thanks Irene & God bless you & your team!

Irene

We have started our immigration papers with Irene 11 months ago, and now we got the green card! Which is great! We are very happy with the the way she treated us, she was there for us everytime we called, or sent an email, or dropped by the office. I' am very thankful to all the the staff that works... with her as well, they are very sweet.

EXCEPTIONAL!!!!

I was referred to Ms. Mugambi when i was at the "bottom of the barrel" so to say. I was in an abusive marriage, we had filed for my citizenship and i did not know what would happen next. On the first consultation day she advised me to seek some help from a counselor due to the effects the marriage ha...d on me personally and for my sanity. She gave me information on available resources in my community. During the process she kept me informed on every step, i got copies of all the paperwork as we progressed. She was quick to address any issues and concerns i had with my case, either via phone call and or email. During the interview that had backfired on me she was there answering every question and taking me through the whole process. And now i can finally breath and i am so grateful for everything she did, her time, attention to details and timely interventions and being extra responsive. Thank You Ms. Mugambi

Adoption and green card denial appeal

Irene was excellent with both cases. Helped us adopt our neice and nephew just before they turned 16 so that we could get them green cards. We filed the green cards on our own and later found out USCIS denied the greencard because they did not understand how Texas adoption law is written. We retained... her services to do the appeal... One month later both kids have greencards in their hand... Amazing results! Only regret is not retaining her to do initial green card paperwork applications.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
