A great lawyer during a tough time

Christine Swenson and her associates were dedicated to my husband's case from the moment I walked into the office. In such stressful situations with high emotions running wild Christine was a calm and organized presence and both my husband and I felt safe in her hands. Our immigration case was toug...h, and Swenson law office stuck with us over the 2 years it took and we couldn't be more grateful for that. We fully intend to return to Swenson law office for our future immigration needs. Thank you Christine for all of your help and support!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I am very happy working with her and highly wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

Mrs.Christine Swenson and her legal team ( Ms.Janna ) performed my Naturalization process, and she was quick, effective and very responsive to everything that was required. It went very well, and she handled the Information needed in a very prompt way, and all I had to do was send the paperwork and s...he organized everything. She is very knowledgeable on all matters pertaining to immigration. She is highly responsive and took the time to clearly explain the process and timelines involved. I am very happy working with her and highly wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

Excellent, Professional, Reliable

Immigration, due to all of the details and paperwork, can be a daunting and scary process. With all that is required, it would be easy for a couple to miss a vital detail (especially if, like us, you're not detail-oriented) that could hinder your application. The prospect of an interview is scary no ...matter how long you've been together and how much you love each other. Swenson Law Office helped us through every step of the process and made sure we were informed and fully prepared. I would gladly recommend their services and guidance to anyone in need of immigration assessment! Easily the best possible experience we could have ever had.

"Christine is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the tricky immigration laws in the United States. I have spoken to Christine about the difficulties people have with the system, and she has a way of making a difficult system, easier to understand. She is particularly gifted at understanding the issues involved with, and filing immigration paperwork for persons with extraordinary abilities.
