The Best of the Best

Some people you meet make a big enough difference in your life that you know you will remember them and their impact for the rest of your life. Shiva and her staff are knowledgeable, responsive, well connected, professional, understanding and I consider myself lucky to have met them and the people... that referred them to me. Shiva came very well recommended to me, and she was able to accomplish in a few days what 3 other lawyers couldn't do in weeks. I have complete confidence in Shiva and her employees ability to understand immigration circumstances and advise on the best course of action. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome to a tricky situation.

Wonderful Attorney-Honest & Knowledgeable

Shiva is very knowledgeable, precise and knew exactly what to do in my case that happened to be a very complicated and lengthy one. Her fees are fair and she will always act with integrity.

Sneaky lawyer

I had a very bad experience with this attorney. She dropped me in the middle of my case because she wasn't competent enough to finish it, and made it my fault. But surely she took my money and asked for more. She submitted the wrong motion ( she administratively closed my case instead of terminatin...g), forgot about it for 6 months ( I accidentally find out months later that my case was wrongly closed 6 months before she actually told me that it was closed). Filed for green card two times with my case still being in court and me being in deportation proceedings - made my case stuck in court for 3 years with no progress and way out. Made a mess and dropped my case. If you have case that is a little more complicated than green card through a marriage on American citizen - do not hire this attorney!

You are hiding behind an"anonymous" identity. We have no idea who you are & we have NO case that even comes close to fitting these facts. We have an excellent reputation & we would appreciate knowing who you are so we can see what "sneaky " things we have done. This appears to be a malicious review without any factual basis at all.

Muy buena Atención

La Licienciada Shiva es muy cortes, cuando le platicas el caso esta atenta a tu situacion, te resuelve tus preguntas, y le da seguimiento a tu caso, te da el tiempo necesario, no esta haciendo dos o tres cosas al mismo tiempo, o mirando sus mensajes el el telefono, si no tiene toda la atencion que m...ereces, no es prepotente como otros abogados, es amble, y dispuesta a resulver tu caso. Recomiendo a la abogada con toda confianza.

Best lawyer I have ever met

Shiva is not only the best lawyer I have ever met, she is also one of the most caring and honest people I know. She truly cares about our situation as immigrants and she knows how to do her job. She took care of my situation and thanks to her help I am able to live in this great nation.

"I do not see how anyone in their right mind would not endorse Attorney Gill. She is passionate, intelligent, and, most of all, has a heart of gold for her clients. Attorney Gill fights for her clients and does not take the easy route out - she stays with them from beginning to end. Immigration is mainly a word-of-mouth referral niche of the law, and Attorney Gill is a prime example of why being hardworking and dedicated to clients is incredibly important - the majority of her clients are from referrals from past clients she has had. She is a wonderful attorney and an amazing person. I endorse Attorney Gill without reservation."
