I got my visa back (that had been revoked)

I am so grateful to my attorneys Mrs. Angeline Chen and ​ Mrs. Maria A. Devia Valles for assisting me through the process to recover my B1/B2 tourist visa for the United States. My visa was revoked and they supported me in getting it back. They were professional, attentive and they knew what the...y were doing and they were an essential help in order to get back my visa, I know that without them I would have never managed! I was positive about hiring them since my first consultation with Mrs. Chen because she was resolutive and smart and I knew there was no one who could help me better in such a complicated case. I am forever grateful to Clark Hill LLP, and I am glad I found them. I would definitely recommend them if you have a complicated case and you are trying to get a revoked visa back. They can help you better than anyone!

Our amazing immigration journey with Angeline

My family and I came to Angeline in 2015, her support and professionalism gave us all a Green Card, and we were able to start our lives in The United States. Late last year, we hired her again to help us with our naturalization process, and we just became proud American Citizens. I couldn't be... more grateful for Angeline and her team, specially her paralegal, Maria. They made everything so smooth and clear. She is a phenomenal attorney, and you should hire her if you want your immigration goals to be achieved.

HR Manager

I hired Angeline to represent me in helping become a US Citizen and renewing my Green card. I have some items that needed removing on criminal record and Angeline providing me the course to take to to handle that. She then took over my Immigration case by the horns and really was a beast. She was alw...ays very upfront and real. Never gave me false expectations and told me exactly what to expect and how to get to the finish line. Her Assistant Maria Emailed back every time I had a question no matter how small or stupid. They kept me informed about every single thing happening in my case. Both Angeline and Maria were very celebratory when good things happened and geared into action when there was a roadblock to overcome. When I got my notice to interview for my citizenship, I immediately got a notice from Maria, I had not even received the notice myself in the mail. Angeline and I had a meeting and she prepped me and told me exactly what to expect so I would not be nervous. I became a US Citizen last week and I cannot imagine any of it happening without Angeline and Maria. They are absolutely amazing and you absolutely cannot go wrong with hiring them.
