Best Attorney EVER!!

After meeting with 6 other attorneys in regards to my adjustment of status case and not feeling confident about their recommendations a friend told me about Monika Sud-Devaraj. I called to schedule an appointment and met with Monika. After receiving answers to all of my questions I knew she was the... attorney I needed for my complicated case. Monika was quick to tell me what the possible outcomes could be. Best case scenario I would receive my green card. Worst-case scenario I'd be denied, she would appeal and would get me my green card. Sure enough, things weren't easy. After an intent to deny Monika used all of her knowledge and filed a motion for my case to be reconsidered and sure enough, I have my green card in hand. I would recommend Monika to anybody looking for an immigration attorney. Her confidence and knowledge helped me get through the long process. She would be in constant communication updating us on the process and reassuring my family and I that we would be ok. Her staff always provided excellent service and were very diligent on providing answers to all of my questions.

Pésimo servicio

Mónica da un pésimo servicio, no se preocupan por tu caso y te culpan por tu caso no te dan soluciones. Yo hice una cita con Roberta y me atiende Mónica una persona prepotente que casi se burla de mi situación me sentí humillado por parte de ella, pero gracias a Dios ya encontré una buena abogada.

One of the best immigration attorneys in town!

We had a very challenging case, so we searched around for a good immigration attorney for a long while before meeting with Monika. We were very impressed with Monika's experience and knowledge in the field. Moreover, we loved her optimism and open mindedness. It turned out that hiring Monika was the ...best decision we made on our long path to a successful case. Monika was there for us through the rounds of document corrections and resubmission. Monika was there to calm us when we grew anxious about the constant "hiccups". After a long unease year, our application was finally approved. Without Monika's help, none of this would be possible. We are so thankful for the excellent service from Monika and her firm. Highly recommend!
