Awesome immigration lawyer

Ms.Lee is the best lawyer one could have. She was very patient, calm and meticulous with our citizenship case. She outlined the naturalization process and it happened exactly the way she drescribed . My wife and I got our citizenship in the exact time frame presented to us. She will fight for your ca...se till the last moment. I highly recommend Ms. Lee as a lawyer for all your immigration matters.

Ellen is an expert and a true professional!

I am a commercial litigation attorney with 40 years of practice experience, so I thought I could handle my wife's immigration case myself. Wrong! I really screwed it up and she was denied a green card! OMG! What to do? Fortunately, somebody referred me to Ellen. We retained her and she straightened e...verything out, undid all my mistakes and got a wonderful result. My wife got her green card and, a few years later, became a U.S. citizen. All thanks to Ellen Ma Lee! She is knowledgeable, straightforward, honest and reasonable in her fees.

Highly recommended

I was in an ideally simple but in reality confusing & unknown situation for my green card application. I interviewed other immigration lawyers but decided to go for attorney Ellen Lee. Ellen was personable and experienced to understood my case right away. With Ellen's strategy and Hilda's responsive ...help on our paperwork, I received my green card in just over 9 months after our first meeting. For the meetings with the immigration officers, Ellen thoroughly prepared us beforehand, provided significant support during the meetings, and got us ready for the next steps after the meetings. I highly recommend Ellen for her knowledge, attention to details, and approachable personality. She made my stressful situation smooth and successful!!

Ellen Lee is the best attorney.

Almost a year from now, I made a good decision of hiring Ellen. Ellen has been phenomenal from the start till the end. Not only she helped me in making a solid case but she also accompanied me to the interview and got along very well with the interviewer. I think that definitely helped. She is very a...pproachable and would always get back to me with advice and suggestions. Thank You, Ellen!

Excellent and Brilliant Attorney

Thanks to attorney Allen Ma Lee and Senior Paralegal Elsa Garcia I was able to reach my dream and become a US citizen. I needed the best of the best to fight my case since I have 2 prior criminal convictions but that did not stop attorney Lee and her excellent team. Thank you for going the extra mile... and to help me overcome all obstacles to become a US citizen.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
