From a Student VISA to a US Citizenship

I'm writing this review to give the highest recommendation to Ana Maria Schwartz. I hired her at a time of very little immigration options with regards to extending my stay in the United States. She provided me with all the necessary information I needed to go from being a student with an OPT to gett...ing a green card and then becoming a citizen. My process involved an adjustment of status with a spouse who lived long distance from me. This would have been a very arduous process, but working with Ana made it much MUCH smoother. She gave us all the details we needed... coached us on how to answer all the possible questions by immigration and even gave us pointers on the types of records we needed to keep on hand to make my adjustment of status easier. Ana kept a record with calendar dates and specific case pointers for us so she was always ready and available to answer any questions and alleviate any fears that I might have had throughout the process. I just became a citizen and it's all thanks to Ana's hardwork, tenacious attitude, zeal and overall care she has for all her clients. And thus I give her the highest recommendation for any and all of your immigration needs. - Shina

I just had to reach out and say a big thank you for the super positive review you left about our journey together, from a student visa all the way to becoming a citizen. Your kind words have put the biggest smile on my face! I know it was a tough and complicated case, but your trust in me and your spouse's determination made it all worthwhile. I'm so proud to have been a part of your immigration process. Congratulations on becoming a citizen, Shina! You rocked it, and I'm so glad we made it happen together!

Unprofessional

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.

Excellent Service!!!

Ana helped me through my naturalization process and it really went very smooth... She always responded to my questions and was very helpful in every question I had. The most important thing is that she gave me confidence and I felt really comfortable working with her.

Excellence in Service

Ana Maria and her team helped my daughter, my wife and me with all our immigration process. They are knowledgeable, reachable, resourceful and caring. They did proper follow up on all our requirements and were always willing to go further to get our permanent visas. You can count on them, even if you... are not from the Houston area. I did all my process from Venezuela and my wife from Maryland. I recommend her without hesitation for all your immigration needs. She is really the best attorney you can find for immigration.
