This Lawyer ROCK

What a great lawyer, what a respectful and honest and straight forward lawyer we got. I have been running behind lawyers for updates, but she is not like that, my wife and I were constantly updated on our case, what a great customer service. We are blessed to have her on our side, we finally got our ...case approved after 7 yearrrrrssss!!!! God bless you and bless the wonderful Yuri who is also above and beyond on handling our questions, and treats her clients like family!

Exceptional lawyer that utilizes all tools available to help

Melody was not our attorney. We had some questions that our attorney was not answering where he was giving us the run around “nothing we can do” or “this is the way it is with USCIS”. We went to Melody for help and she took our questions and used all tools available to her (other clients, colleagu...es, community, forum, etc.) and found the answers to our questions. To us, that was priceless. The other qualities we found in Melody were: 1) she listens 2) Ethical and 3) She is laser focus on her clients. Unfortunately, our attorney was laser focus on how fast he can deposit our checks and unwilling to call USCIS in our behalf. I truly wish we used Melody at the beginning of our arduous journey. We are posting this message for others to see and use Melody as their attorney from the beginning so they can have better experience than the one we had. I know going forward, we will call Melody!!! We highly recommend her!!!

I would not be living my dreams if it weren’t for Melody

Melody was a god send when I was looking to obtain my residency here in the US after being on a student visa for a number of years. The ins and outs of the USCIS forms and interviews were daunting and at times very nerve wracking. Melody went above and beyond to help us prepare and ensure we were doi...ng everything properly. She was very accomodating when it came to scheduling time to answer our questions and conducting mock interviews. Melody has continued to be a vital resource, ensuring I received communications from USCIS over multiple moves, communicating with USCIS on my behalf if necessary, and sending me helpful reminders of important dates with regards to my residency. The processes by which I finally found myself happily married and settled in the US could not have been navigated without Melody’s calm demeanor and the kind, compassionate way she treats her clients. She retains the utmost amount of professionalism, and there was never any moment where I doubted she was capable and well versed in immigration law. She proved herself trustworthy and capable time and time again. I have witnessed firsthand that Melody’s expertise in her field is second to none.
