Review Kelly Ryan

Choosing Kelly will be one of the best choices you'll ever make

Posted by

Kelly and her entire team are some of the most caring, intelligent and all around good people that I've ever met. She helped me step by step through some crucial legal decisions in my case and never failed to inform me as to what kind of risks I could come across. Without her advice, I would have missed out on a major opportunity that could have impacted my life for many years to come. With her knowledge and passion to help others she truly stands out from the rest. You won't be disappointed!

Great, compassionate, intelligent Immigration Lawyer

Posted by

Kelly is handling our case and she is so thorough with all the documents. I would definitely recommend her because I know she is very well educated in her practice with immigration law. Very approachable, you can ask her anything and she will be honest with you. I am so happy I have researched first, and found her. We love her, she is absolutely great and her staff are so nice too. Don't settle for anything less always do research before you choose an immigration attorney. Kelly is very reputable in her field of practice. She is definitely one of the best.
Kelly Ryan's response: Thanks, Cathee! I am so glad you enjoyed working with us as much as we enjoyed working with you.

Absolutely in your corner

Posted by

We went to Kelly seeking a simple third party review and feedback on a green card for a very close friend. Kelly has been very helpful in coming up with alternative ideas and very patient in walking through all the questions and 'what ifs' that come up. We expected to walk away with 'yep, that's what you got - good luck kids'. Instead, we left with a couple of alternate, actionable plans and confidence that Kelly is in our corner to help through a solid path to success.
Kelly Ryan's response: Thanks, David! It has been a pleasure working with you.

Best attorney EVER!

Kelly Ryan had an impressive knowledge of how to handle my citizenship case. I became a proud citizen shortly after she took my case. She is smart, knowledgeable, and passionate about what she does. I will be forever grateful to her.
Kelly Ryan's response: Thanks for your comments Lorena. I am so proud of you for becoming a US citizen! It was the best decision you could have made for yourself and your family.

She is Superb Immigration Attorney!

Posted by

We hired Kelly Ryan as our Immigration Attorney in 2008. Before that we worked with two immigration attorneys who did not obtain any results for us. Kelly is an excellent attorney! My husband received his green card shorty after he hired her to work on his case. She is very result oriented, hard working, organized, intelligent attorney who does care about your case. We strongly recommend Kelly Ryan to other people who need help with Immigration Law.
Kelly Ryan's response: Natalya, Thank you for your review. I am so happy that we got everything sorted out for you. I wish you and your family the best! Kelly

I had Kelly Ryan for my Immiration case from Belarus. it was a difficult case, which I transferred from a different state. She took my asylum case and did an amazing job winning it. She is knowledgeable and pays attention to details. She is a reliable lawyer and always on top of what she is doing. She isnt not afraid of challeges and i'm grateful that i had her as my lawyer. I would recommend her to everyone who has any immigration issues or just needs a consultation. If you have her as a lawyer it means you are in good hads and will not be dissapointed. She will do her best to win it!

Kelly is an incredibly intelligent and competent legal professional. Her proficiency in Spanish allows her to assist the large Hispanic community in need of legal help. She has given me countless insights on some of the most difficult cases I have handled.
