Catherine Ann Mariano

I have not really hired Catherine yet since I am still stick with my current lawyer which was paid by employer. I have to come here to give Catherine a 5 star since she is very good! Very responsive, professional and elegant. I experienced a bad time since my current lawyer do not inform both my co...mpany and me for anything. My current one ingored me when I ask her for quick response and get furious when I want to the money back. The worst part is I am not sure whether my current one is capable of making my normal case being normal. It is very frustrating experience! Talking to Catherine makes me feel that we are equal and she respect people very well. She also makes me feel that I am not that desperate and always can find a way out. I am very willing to hire Catherine personally if the condition permits and I think every immigrant ,who needs help ,deserves a good lawyer , like Catherine. I highly recommend her.

Catherine was an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I moved our entire life from Singapore to California, and we needed someone who could work with diligently and quickly on our case. My wife maintains her occupation in Singapore requiring frequent travels to Singapore and posed as an obst...acle to adjusting her status. She could not afford to wait for the completion of the entire adjustment process, which I had heard normally took anywhere from 6 months to a year, to travel back to Singapore for work obligations. Not only did Catherine assure my wife could travel, but my wife received her lawful permanent residency in record processing time—three months from the time of submission of our application. Catherine was not only attentive but maintained the utmost professionalism.

From almost hiring an attorney that hung up on me to working with Catherine was a breath of much needed fresh air. Her approach was thorough, she allowed me on the first interview before even hiring her to ask any question i might have. We spent almost 30 in. on that initial interview and it gave me ...the confidence to hire her on the spot. I can not only highly recommend her, but say if you want to feel safe in your immigration case, hire only her! Needless to say I got my case approved within the promised timeframe.

My wife and I turned to Catherine to address our immigration situation. In mid 2012, my long time girlfriend and I decided to marry. Soon after, she was expecting. My wife was on a tourist visa, and with a baby on the way and concerned for her health, I wanted her to become a lawful permanent resi...dent immediately so that she may remain lawfully and permanently in the United States. However, due to my extremely demanding schedule as an industrial broker, I needed an attorney who would not only be with us every step of the way but handle our case as expeditiously as possible. We made the perfect choice. Catherine handled all of our paperwork, answered all of our questions, and thoroughly prepped us for our adjustment of status interview. In fact, my wife who desperately wanted to visit her family in the Philippines during her pregnancy and while our application was pending, obtained an expedited advanced parole on my wife's behalf. Moreover, though Catherine was based in LA, she readily traveled to Bakersfield and Fresno to personally take care of us and accompany us to our interview. I highly recommend her quality service. Our case approved in less than six months, and we couldn't be happier. My wife and I are expecting our first child in March, and will once again retain Catherine's services for the removal of conditions process and my wife's naturalization in the future.
