This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Best in her practice, best as a person.

I have had the privilege of working with Ana Maria Schwartz, and I can confidently say they are an exceptional attorney and an outstanding person. Their depth of knowledge in the field is remarkable, and what truly sets them apart is their client-first approach. They don’t practice law just to maximi...ze profit from every opportunity; instead, they focus on providing holistic, thoughtful, and ethical service tailored to each client’s needs. Attorney Schwartz has guided my family through multiple stages of the naturalization process with care, clarity, and unwavering support. Beyond their professional excellence, they genuinely care about the legal community—mentoring law students and supporting fellow attorneys with dedication and compassion. If you are looking for an attorney who combines legal expertise with integrity and empathy, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Ana Maria Schwartz. Thank you, Attorney Schwartz, for everything!

Highly recommend her!

Ana Maria was so meticulous! Herself and her team were always quick to respond to all our questions and I was able to get my green card in 5 months with no hiccups.

From impossible case to citizenship

Ana Maria was the only attorney out of 12 that got back to me and actually listened. She was incredible in her turn around time, she handled the cases herself and her entire team went above and beyond and was familiar with my case and only increased the value offered. I used her services for a gr...een card renewal, a citizenship and an appeal for citizenship. My process was not an easy one but because of her abilities and skill set I was able to get citizenship quickly and through all the hurdles without worrying too much. Hire her today.

“Experience Matters”

After several years of delay, my husband and I decided to switch from our previous attorney and scheduled a consultation with Ana. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable; and very charismatic and easy to talk to. We hired her for representation during an interview and after USCIS decided to requ...est for further information, we re-hired her to help put together an appropriate response. In helping put together the documentation her office was amazing and super efficient. She’s full of knowledge and great ideas and suggestions, and despite being friendly and bubbly, she is direct, honest and doesn’t beat around the bush. My case was approved literally DAYS after USCIS received our response. I’m extremely grateful - I know she was a key component in helping my case move along. Don’t look elsewhere - Ana should be your attorney.

Personable, Knowledgeable, and Sharp as a Tack

Great attorney! She takes time to hear out your case through and through and will make sure to build the best case there is with all possible legal options. She’s extremely to easy to talk/communicate with to and will be a great advocate as she is not only caring but extremely knowledgeable in immig...ration law.
