Residential Statue Change

Very happy with her performance! She was on top of everything that needed to be done to change the residential statue of my wife. All paperwork was filed it in a timely manner. Communication was very good.

Highly Recommend

We hired Pauline for our immigration case; she set out expectations accordingly from the beginning, guided us perfectly through the complicated process, and has an incredible attention to detail. Very professional with an added dimension of empathy and kindness not commonly seen. I highly recommen...d her.

Mayra

Ms. Pauline helped file my Advanced parole application as well as Adjustment of status- marriage based. She is very knowledgeable in immigration law and was always there to answer any question or concern I had. My husband and I are very happy with her service and for making this process so smooth. ...We got our interview waived and case was approved 3 days after medical exam was received. We are so grateful to have found Ms. Pauline to guide us through this process.

Wonderful and knowledgeable lawyer

Consulted for marriage based greencard. Pauline was very professional, courteous, and easy to work with. I did an initial review of lawyers before selecting her. Selected her based on breadth of knowledge and practicality concerning immigration law, and her experience reflects through in her advice. ...Just had some misunderstanding with the legal plan terms of service, but we resolved that. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
