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.

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.

Gets the Job no Matter the Obstacles

By far Irene G. Mugambi is at the top of her profession. Every step of the way she kept me and my wife informed and gave us the best advice on what we should do and how we should approach our legal matters. She never came in with just a plan A. It was always a plan A, a plan B, a plan C and then a pl...an D just in case. She was always prepared and was very knowledgeable. When dealing with her she really cared and wanted genuinely to do the very best for u. Irene has handled my wife's case since 2004 and she took this difficult case when no one else would. Irene navigated my wife through a mine field and never gave up with her difficult situation. I am proud to say my wife was granted her Permanent Resident Card after 10 years of hard work, thanks to Irene G. Mugambi.
