Ana Maria Schwartz

I retained Ana Maria back in May 2019 for a Change of Status after 18 years of marriage to my wife and just coming back to the US prior to COVID. I was so fortunate my wife, the yelp queen picked out this gem, Ana Maria. It has been such a long time since I've lived in the US, so I've been out ...of all the changing rules and regulations on immigration, but Ana Maria made that so simple for us. She is highly knowledgeable, resourceful, responsive, and also professional and very detailed oriented. Coming from Singapore, and before that Tokyo, this gave my wife and I a high level of relief and we knew immediately we were in the right hands. Ana Maria properly managed our expectations and there were no big surprises along the way, just the right amount of preparation and guidance. I could not imagine anyone else keeping up with the pace, the constant connectivity and updates, especially in the times in which we find ourselves. Thank you so much, Ana Maria! We don't know what we would have done with you! From Ellen, Jason, Ethan, and Owen.

Unprofessional at best, but really just the worst lawyer you can choose. My deal with her and what she probably tells all her clients is she'll help with the initial application to residency all the way to citizenship. $3500 for the whole thing. Don't make the mistake of paying her up front. She will... disappear once she decides that she will no longer help you or blame comcast for not having any landlines. Worst dealing I have ever had with any kind of professional. Stay away!!! On top of being unprofessional and stealing your money, you won't even be able to get in contact with her if you try to; and taking into account that most immigration applications have a time constraint this is a big one. She has an assistant part time and that is it. It might take months for her to write back or return your call. I would have rather her being straightforward and said she was going to keep my money and did not wanted to fulfil her promise and not burn through my application deadline. But no, she decided she was going to use time as an advantage combined with my deadline closing and her lack of communication I had no other option but hire a new lawyer. One in an actual law firm. Don't pay this person one cent more than you'll have to, she won't deliver and keep your cash. No le pague un centavo más de lo que tenga y no le pague por adelantado. Probablemente la persona menos profesional a la que eh contratado. Se desaparece, no contesta y no devuelve llamadas ni mensajes. Especifique claramente el contrato y hasta qué proceso le va a ayudar. El contrato inicial de ella es superficial y lo usará en su contra. Cuando la gente dice que los abogados son unos aprovechados, están hablando de esta señora.

I contacted, the law office of Ana Maria Schwartz following the separation with my ex-wife, I came to the USA with a fiancé visa after 14 months of marriage I found out my ex-wife was unfaithful and needed to leave the house, I was lost as I leave everything in Europe for love and had no place to go.... Ana Maria listened my story and helped me to remove the condition on my temporary Green Card, I loved working with her and her team, they were really professional, they were following the case in regular basis until I get approved by the USCIS to remove the condition on my residency. But more important what I appreciated on Ana Maria’s work was the empathy she and her team showed me, every time I was anxious about the process, she was able to reinsure me that everything will go well and asked me to be patient. I’m looking forward to work again with Ana Maria next year for my citizenship, I’m recommending her to people dealing with immigration issue, you probably not be able to find a better lawyer and human to work on your case.

Ana Maria helped us through every step of getting my husband's I 601a waiver approved and we just returned from his visa interview with an approval as well. She made navigating the very lengthy process less confusing and stressful. We highly recommend her for anyone needing assistance with their immi...gration process!
