Client

Mrs. Mcgettrick is an excellent immigration attorney! She is very knowledgable, dedicated, and caring. After noticing that the previous attorney I had hired was not taking my case to heart, I hired Mrs. Mcgettrick to handle my delicate immigration case. I was given such peace by seeing Mrs. Mcgettric...k comb through every aspect of my case and by seeing her use all the resources possible to get the outcome I needed. I wasn't the only one that noticed. In court, the judge assign to my matter also congratulated Mrs. Mcgettrick for doing such and extensive and thorough job. I highly recommend Mrs. Mcgettrick as an immigration attorney! She is great!

Great to work with!

Denise has been one of the BEST lawyers I have worked with. She has been very informative and patient throughout my process, explaining every bit of detail. She vested in personally to make sure everything happens in an organized timely matter. What I value most in her is her ONE on ONE time to the c...lient. I definitely recommend her for services. After hiring her, I didnt have to worry about anything. She followed up on my process, next steps and regular updates.

"There appears to be no aspect of immigration law in which Denise is unversed, and the breadth of her experience is as though she has been practicing law for a much longer period than the decade since her introduction to the bar. Denise has professionally and successfully assisted foreign members of my family; consequently, I would, and do, knowingly recommend her to anyone in need of an immigration attorney. She is also a good mother, and I know this because she happens to be the mother of three of my grandchildren. Signed, Anthony C. McGettrick Fellow Texas Attorney"
