Vera Alicia Weisz

The short: Vera Weisz is smart, experienced, knowledgeable, responsive and compassionate. I highly recommend her. The long: Someone referred Vera Weisz to me during the 14th year of my immigration journey. After spending tens of thousands of dollars on attorneys and 3 separate, unsuccessful applicat...ions for legal status, I found myself in immigration court. The referrer said that if Vera accepted my case, I could rest assured that I would not get deported. Well, they were right because this is year 18 of the journey and I finally see a light at the end of the dark tunnel (and it's not an oncoming train but an approval from USCIS). Vera Weisz is extremely experienced. She proposed several paths that I was eligible for, that none of the previous attorneys suggested. It has not been smooth sailing but Vera has been patient - she gets right to work to put the case back on track. My case did not have much evidence to work with but Vera proposed very smart solutions that only an experienced and knowledgeable attorney could. When we go to court, I feel protected. She has a calm and cool demeanor about her, but her presence is felt and she asserts herself when needed. The opposition attorney once suggested that I wait my case out of the US. She shut him up quickly (with facts) like his suggestion was crazy. Now, how do you not want an attorney like that! She is very thorough and we have never missed a deadline. She clearly communicates what is expected of me and guides me through all the details. I have found Vera to be compassionate and she has had empathy for my situation from day 1. I have made mistakes in the past that even I still judge myself for, but Vera listened to me and did not tell me what I shoulda, woulda, coulda. No judgement from her. She is very professional but also has a sense of humor that doubles as words of wisdom. She has said a thing or two to me that seemed funny in the moment but turned out to be food for deep thought later on. At the time that I retained Vera, she was more expensive than most and I struggled to make the payments. She was flexible and provided a payment plan. Her office is located right in the heart of downtown LA. Her front office staff is respectful, responsive and communicative. My point is...it costs money to run an efficient office so I respect her fees. For the value that I have received and continue to receive from Vera, I am very fortunate that she accepted my case.

After spending tens of thousands of Dollars with a lot of cowboy lawyers (12 years in total), I luckily was introduced to Vera. For me, Vera is a real LIFE SAVER. In a matter of 8 months, Vera made all necessary requests to the INS in reference to our case and we were finally invited to an interview ...for our green card. Once again, we were shielded by her professional approach and the interview went ease and with positive outcome. Sooner after that we received all our papers and next year we will become American citizens. Do not let headless commentaries about who was wearing what divert your attention to what really matters. Vera is precise, professional, knowledgeable, with great experience – 3 decades of practice – and will not take your case if she feels that she won’t bring you benefit. Actually, if Vera cannot get a solution for your case, probably, no one else will. Go ahead and make an appointment. This will help you understand your situation in this country.

Mrs. Vera Weisz was representing a friend of mine. In support I accompanied him to the hearing. Upon meeting Mrs. Weisz for the first time outside of the courtroom she immediately commented on my choice of clothing. Her tone of voice was loud and patronizing! I was in shock and in disbelief by her... bad manners. I was wearing a knee length black skirt and a white blouse with a scarf. There was absolutely nothing inappropriate about my attire. I am business woman and a nurse. I know very well what is professional and what is not. Although she was representing my friend it was embarrassing to everyone. She FAILED to take in to account she was wearing an old shaggy sweater and she looked like she just got out of bed. To make matters worse she was 1 hour late. Even the judge inquired as to her whereabouts. I am submitting this merely to help someone else avoid misrepresentation.
