A team that truly cares – Gilda and her staff changed everything for me

I hired Abogada Gilda McDowell to help me with a FOIA request, and I’m really glad I did. From the start, her staff made me feel comfortable and taken care of. They were respectful, patient, and always kept me in the loop. You can tell they actually care about the people they’re helping. Gilda her...self was amazing!! She explained everything in a way that made sense, didn’t sugarcoat anything, and followed through on what she said she’d do. She never made me feel like just another case. Thanks to her and her team, I got the records I needed, and I finally feel like I can move forward. If you’re looking for someone who’s honest, experienced, and truly cares about helping immigrants, I’d definitely recommend Gilda and her team. They really do things the right way.

Waiver for my wife

My wife and I were in need of an immigration lawyer to prepare my wife's residency and I-601 waiver. The instant our consultation was over, we knew that we had found the best lawyer for our needs. Mrs. McDowell is compassionate and extremely trustworthy. Her knowledge of what needed to be filed, w...hen, and how long the process would last was spot on. After each step was finished, Mrs. McDowell would inform us exactly where the case was in regards to the immigration process. I am so grateful to Mrs. McDowell because my wife is back in the United States with her residency. Mrs. McDowell is an honest lawyer. I recommend Mrs. McDowell to anyone that has immigration needs.

Honest Attorney

We went to consult with this Attorney regarding my husbands situation. After multiple Attorneys giving us false hope and taking our money, this Attorney finally told us the truth. Although my husband has no chance of becoming legal and that was something we did not want to hear, she was honest & did ...not take our money for months before telling us so. Thank you!
