Amazing Immigration Attorney

I found Melody on Avvo and decided to make an appointment after looking at her reviews. We met at her office to discuss my case. Right off the bat she proved to be very knowledgeable and on top of her game by explaining in detail all the steps of my process and estimating how long every step might ta...ke. I was very impressed and hired her without even seeing any other attorneys and I don't regret it for a second. She was there to guide me every step of the process, which went through exactly the way she told me it would, and I got my green card approved without any issues or delays along the way. Don't waste time looking for another attorney. I'm grateful I came across Melody and her amazing legal team.

L & S Grant

Miss Melody was thee most professional attorney my wife and I have ever encountered. Her guidance and knowledge of us switching from green card status to USA citizenship was top rate. Things could not have gone better thanks to her & would recommend her firm to anyone. The Grant’s.

Great person to have in your corner!

I enlisted Melody's services when my wife (finance at the time) and I needed help regarding a Student Visa issue. She helped us file the appropriate paperwork and gave us all the information we needed to get her back to her studies in a timely manner. Melody also helped us again we got married; again..., filing the appropriate paperwork, prepping us for what to expect, etc. She was very patient with us and made sure we were comfortable and that all our questions were answered. She was kind, courteous, and effective. I would absolutely recommend her services to my closest friends and family. The service she provides is second to none!

Great experince.

I would recommend using Melody Poole if you need help with immigration issues and visas from foreign countries. She is very professional in her attitude and demeanor. She gets results.

Look no further...

We have consulted with Melody Poole on various occasions, and she has always impressed us with her ability to accomplish our immigration goals. My wife's brother had been rejected a visitor's visa numerous times, and we believe that her specific actions and recommendations were responsible for him f...inally being approved. Since then, we have had other questions and concerns and she continues to provide valuable advice. Melody has earned our highest recommendation!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
