Grateful Clients

We first hired Katharine in 2020 to assist us with our adjustment of status. We continued to employ her services for my permanent residency and the removal of conditions. Her assistance has been nothing but professional, compassionate, extremely competent and reassuring for me and my wife. It is than...ks to Katharine and Access Immigration LLC that we were successful in acquiring United States Citizenship this month. I highly recommend Katharine to anyone seeking legal counsel pertaining to immigration assistance. We will sincerely, eternally remain grateful to Katharine.

Citizenship

The process to gain citizenship took longer than I originally thought, perhaps because I had some prior blemishes involving the law. However, Katharine and Laura pushed through with the application though I did consider dropping the entire application. Katharine encouraged me to stay on board, and f...or this I am extremely grateful. Now I can breath easier with my new gained citizenship, and become more active in civic duties. I highly recommend Access Immigration.

I had an excellent experience with Katharine and her team handling my U visa case. The team was incredibly knowledgeable about the U visa process and provided clear, comprehensive guidance throughout each step. What stood out most was their responsiveness and dedication. They took the time to addre...ss all my questions and concerns, ensuring I felt supported and informed at all times. Their meticulous attention to detail and thorough preparation were crucial in navigating the complexities of my case.

  • 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.
