She's your keeper!

I am a resident physician on my second year of H1B visa. I was looking for an abbreviated legal consultation on what may be the best way for me to apply for green card. A friend of mine told me about how amazing Annette was and shared with me her contact information. I emailed her office and I got an... immediate response with a complimentary phone call appointment with Annette. Annette reviewed my CV and provided sincere, thorough suggestions on different ways to apply green card, and we extensively discussed the timeline of it, the strategy to establish good relationship with my potential sponsors, approximate cost of application, etc. She took time to answer all questions empathetically. She spent 40 minutes with me on the phone, free of charge. I will remember her and reach back when it is time for me to really prepare for my green card application.

Fantastic!

I can't explain how grateful I am with Annette and her team. They are very professional and will devote their time to their clients. I had a great experience, and a fantastic outcome...just got the big news my H1B has been approved! They made me feel confident and were always there to help with any i...ssue or questions I had. I would certainly recommend them.

Extremely knowledgeable, personable, and hopeful. Truly cares about her clients.

I came to Annette with after finding myself in a position of employment I was extremely dissatisfied with. My understanding of things given my visa situation was that it would be difficult or impossible to leave, with the only recourse being to follow through until the end of my contract. Annette ...listened patiently and offered suggestions about what to do. We spoke to her a number of times, racking up perhaps over 2 hours of consultation time before she even asked to be placed on retainer so she could officially work on my behalf. She knew much more than the attorneys of a group that was offering to hire me - my case was very unique and difficult, and the other attorneys didn't really know where to begin. Annette was extremely thorough and took great pains to make sure everything was in place before turning in the paperwork to make things happen. It was almost anticlimactic when we got the green light from immigrations with no questions asked. I continued to correspond with Annette even after we got the result we hoped for, for little things that she really didn't have to be involved in. You will not regret hiring Annette. She knows exactly what she is doing and will fight for you like family. Her default demeanor is realistic optimism, and will give you options when you might feel there is little or no hope. She will spend so much time with you on the phone that you'll start wondering if she has time to do anything else after your conversation. I intend to stay in touch with Annette long after my business with her is done. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

excellent

My visa situation was very critical. When I reached out to her, she not only accommodated me in short time but also efficiently worked throughout the process. She was very helpful.

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.
