Great Value for an even Greater Attorney!

After an incredibly helpful consultation with Mrs. Rosenthal, my husband and I felt confident that we wanted to hire her to support our application with USCIS. She is incredibly thorough in reviewing all submitted/requested documents, and she was incredibly responsive in emails that pertained to ques...tions, concerns, and updates. Overall, we felt that her services, time, and overall personality were worth the financial investment!

K-1 Visa Support (Highly recommend)

If you are looking for an immigration attorney, Katharine is the person to hire. We had no reservations about trusting her with our K-1 visa - a process that deserves such careful attention and understanding. Katharine supported us through the entire K-1 visa fiance process; she is kind, detail-orien...ted and brilliant. We navigated this painful and complicated journey through the COVID-19 pandemic and Katherine provided us with much needed guidance and support during an uncertain and incredibly stressful time. She was responsive and attentive in a timely manner to all of our many questions throughout this complex process. Overall, Katharine is a lawyer with a heart and orientation towards justice that made all the difference.

K-1 visa support

Katharine provided concrete advice for my meeting with her regarding the K-1 visa. My fiance and I were uncertain about many of the upcoming steps of the process and scheduled a consultation. Katharine was able to precisely address all the questions that we had as well as provide additional recommend...ations and support based on her experience and exposure. Leaving the consultation we felt much more prepared to sort through the K-1 visa process and plan to continue to work with Katharine as we progress.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

I hired Katharine to help bring my fiance and her children to the United States. With the complexity of processing immigration visas, I decided it was best to have someone with expertise guide me through the process. Katharine was able to answer any questions that I threw at her. She processed all ap...plications and forms quickly and efficiently to do her part in helping get my family to the United States as fast as possible. Katharine cared about reuniting me with my family and it was great to be able to introduce them to her once they were here. I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with immigration.

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.
