Satisfied Client

I hired Ms. Fontova to represent me at the Immigration Court in Los Angeles in 2015. She won my case and always made sure I understood what was going on. Very professional in court. She went with me to my greencard interview in 2016 and made sure that the government officer treated me properly. G...lad I had her by my side and that she represented me during my difficult case.

very professional

My friend hired Ms. Fontova back in 2015 to represent him and his family during an immigration court hearing in Honolulu, and she traveled there and did everything she promised she would do. My friend was very pleased with the service so when he knew my court hearing was approaching, he immediately ...recommended Ms. Fontova and gave me her number. I called her office and set up an appointment with her the next day. During my first consultation she was very nice and professional, she patiently explained to me how she would handle my case and made sure all my concerns were heard. I just had my first court hearing with Ms. Fontova on Tuesday, she was very experienced and the hearing went smoothly. So far I am very pleased with Ms. Fontova's legal service and impressed by her professionalism, and I would definitely recommend her to any one who needs professional legal aid in their immigration cases.
