The Professional services of Gisele Ambrosio

We first heard about Gisele back in 2012 through a friend who had picked up a postcard advertising Gisele Ambrosio's legal services in the field of Immigration Law. We contacted Gisele in late 2012 and presented our case. From the very beginning, Gisele was very upfront with all the information and t...old us that the process could take months, but she wasn't worried as ours was not a very complicated case. She also explained that, as long as we were patient and honest with the information and documentation that USCIS requested , we should not run into any obstacles. Too our great surprise, the entire process of obtaining a Green Card took less than 12 months. Gisele and her support team were an absolute pleasure to have in our corner and always kept us abreast of any new developments in our case as soon the information came to light. My partner and I are pleased to have had this opportunity and highly recommend Gisele's legal immigration services to anyone looking for peace of mind, a positive attitude and an extremely high level of professionalism and customer service.

What an amazing lawyer!

Gisele and her team were just simply amazing! She knew exactly what to do since the day I went for a consultation. Take into consideration that my case was super rare; so rare that not even the Homeland security officers knew how to handle it or what to do. From day one, Gisele told me exactly wha...t was going to happen and how thing needed to be handled form her part and mine; including time frame and the possible responses/problems that immigration might present. She answered all my questions in a fast and very effective manner. All my questions were answered almost immediately, including questions via email. Giselle and her team were really good at keeping me informed about updates in case or just to remind me of my appointments with homeland security. If you are in need of a good, reliable, and trustworthy attorney, Giselle and her team are the people you need on your side. ,

Thank you!

I want to take this opportunity to thank Giselle and her assistant Cindy for all of their help! They are very professional, yet made us feel more than just clients. They always explained everything every step of the way. Gisele and her team assisted us on my wife's green card process AND helped brin...g my step son from Brazil. Cindy kept us updated anytime there was information she needed from us. Thank you Cindy! You're awesome! I would recommend Gisele and her team with no hesitation. Thank you once again!

Excellent Lawyer

Gisele is an excellent and competent lawyer. She helped me in my process of divorce. My case was stalled for more than six months since my ex-husband was doing everything so that the divorce was not finalized. When Gisele took the process of divorce, she found out that my ex-husband had done wrong a...nd her competence could finalize my divorce, which I thought would be impossible. I am very grateful to her, because if it were not for her knowledge and professionalism I would not have managed to finalize my divorce. She is reliable, caring, has much knowledge of what does and very professional.

Best legal advise I got on a DUI case

I consulted with Gisele Ambrosio on a DUI case. She was very knowledgeable and gave me the expert advise I needed to weigh my options. She was very thorough in explaining the law, viable outcomes, and repercussions. I would highly recommend her and her team in handling any legal matters.
