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.

Spousal case

She was very realistic, specific and knowledgeable about our case and the timeline. She guided us thoroughly in times of doubt. She was there for us at the interview and helped us to a succesful acquisition of Green Card.

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!

An A-1 lawyer!

I was referred to Irene in 2013 by my best friend due to a "complicated case" surrounding my adjustment of status. I had retained 2 lawyers prior and was on the verge of giving up because I had spent so much time and money...and my petition was still in limbo. When I had my initial consultation wit...h Irene, I knew I had to retain her. She was very PERSONABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL and above all, an ACTIVE LISTENER! She took notes as I went over the details of my case and asked relevant questions to figure out an action plan. Irene and her team were there for me and with me from day one. Her assistants helped me with filling out the required paperwork, gave me a list of all the supporting documents I needed to submit, always called to remind me of upcoming appointments and they always sent me a copy of any correspondence they sent and/or received from UCIS. At the end of my initial consultation with Irene, she said "it will take a little bit of time but you will get your green card"...and she was right. I finally got my 10-year green card approved and mailed to me last month!! My favorite bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." God used Irene and her team to bless me. So If you are out there feeling like there's no light at the end of the tunnel, don't give up!!

She responds promptly to questions and had been available to answer any concerns that i had.. Very knowledgeable and experienced and a great sta...ff around her to get the job done

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.
