The very best attorney in Houston

I approached Mrs.Mathew in support of my EB1 application. I am pleased to say that she helped me in getting the case approved without an RFE! even I believed that my case was a bit on the tougher side! But her promptness, due diligence on the matter, and attention to detail are what really helped me ...in getting the desired approval. She was available to answer any questions that I had within a couple of hours sometimes even in minutes which is a rarity these days. she would call me back, text or email. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to consult or hire a competent immigration attorney.

Knowledgeable and Detailed

Ms Dessi helped my husband and I to get my green card. She was very nice, patient, detailed and knowledgeable on all things immigration. She coached us about questions we will be asked at the interview as well as what is required of us.

Well informed, diligent, and friendly!

I approached Dessi based on a recommendation from a friend and I am glad I did. Dessi is a thorough professional who knows all the fine details of the immigration process. She is diligent and meticulous. She coordinates the intricate processes and documentation at every stage. I had no difficulty du...ring the entire process. She’s friendly with a pleasant demeanor. Absolutely a pleasure working with Dessi. I strongly recommend her.

Outstanding

Dessi has efficiently & professionally worked through my L1 Visa process and the I-140 Immigration petition till we received our Green Card. She is a very cheerful, dedicated, committed and responsive. She treats you like family. Dessi has kept me up to speed on all issues related to the various proc...esses, prepared efficiently all required paperwork on our behalf. She is very responsive by email, text messages any day of the week. I do not think you will find a lawyer that responsive elsewhere! I highly recommend her and already did to lots of my friends.
