Irene Mugambi - The Best!

When other's either refused to take our case or said it could not be done for an international adoption from a country in Africa with complicated immigration and adoption laws Irene was open, honest and trustworthy from the get go. She said that it could happen and it did! Her personal communication,... advise and experience was right on target. She is the Lawyer with a Passionate Heart! I highly recommend!

Excellent Attorney Client Services

I was absolutely honored to have Ms. Mugambi represent me. She is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of not only the client, but the clients' situations. She will be upfront from the very beginning on whether or not she believes she can help you and will not take the case and w...aste time and money if she doesn't feel that she can be successful in the situation. She is honest, timely, and respectful. More than anything, as realistic as she is, she is also a giver of hope when needed. She was a God send and a life changer to me and my family.

From Domestic Violence Victim to US Citizen!

I came to the attorney for an immigration case as I was a victim of domestic violence. The day I came to see the attorney I was very bad, afraid and hurt. The attorney was very comforting with her words and gave me hope. I left her office feeling much better and in higher spirits. She helped me not o...nly with my case but with my self esteem and mentally in my mind. The attorney is not just an attorney but also a counselor, a friend and warrior to fight and help her clients. The attorney put all her professionalism, honesty and efforts into my case. She knows how to speak to and defend her clients. I recommend all woman who are victims of domestic violence to come see the attorney, do not be afraid to come and share your problems with her as she can help you. She will be by your side and walk you through the whole process. After my VAWA was approved she filed for my residency and then 5 years later here I am a citizen of the United. States. I now feel relieved that the past is behind me and I can now begin to live. My heart and my soul is filled with joy.

Professional/ Honest/ Knowledgeable

We came to Ms. Mugambi in search of a honest and trustworthy attorney to help with my husbands legal status. After going to 2-3 other attorneys in the metroplex and getting the run around we were just getting ready to give up. She was recommended to us by a previous client of hers. On our first visit... she explained everything to us and gave us our hope back. She explained in simple terms what we needed and how she and her staff would help us thru everything. And they kept there word. Her and her staff are very professional and treat you with respect and are were always willing to answer our questions and never made us feel uncomfertable. So we are blessed to say that after everything that we have gone thru and with all the help of Ms. Mugambi and staff my husbands waiver was approved. There is not sufficent words to express the joy and blessings that are family is feeling at this time. And it feels great to know that she was always looking out for us . Thank You Ms. Irene Mugambi and to all your wonderful staff as well. So if you are looking for an attorney to get the job done and be honest about it she is the attorney to go to.. They will be with you until the end...

Passionate advocate that offers great represantation

I highly recommend Attorney Irene Mugambi, she is very knowledgeable about the law particularly the immigration law. I initially approached her office with my case end of 2011 and she was very professional and honest on the options that were available. She was very passionate in arguing my case and t...o ensure that I get granted asylum which the BIA finally did on our appeal after the Immigration Judge had initially denied asylum. Irene Mugambi offers great representation as an advocate, throughout the process her office was timely in informing me of the next steps and was treated as family. Irene Mugambi is well experienced and a great advocate in Immigration representation, she will leave no stone untouched and will ensure you get the best relief you deserve in all situations.
