HIGHLY recommended!!

I'm a Canadian who hired Marla to help me prepare a TN application after receiving a job offer as a management consultant in the US. I knew this would be a very delicate process because it's highly scrutinized when applying. But I found Marla, and she was a true godsend. Here are some key points to s...ummarize my experience with her: - She first made sure I was a good candidate before taking on my case. - She was consistently easy to get a hold of by phone and by email. - She demonstrated an incredible wealth of experience and knowledge. - She put extreme care into the entire process, giving incredible attention to detail every step of the way. - She was always very personable, friendly, and patient. - Her rates are very competitive. I went to the border, and my TN was approved without a hitch! For obvious reasons, I'm very grateful I found Marla. If you need help with anything related to US immigration, do not look any further!

Marla handled my family's immigration process from our initial visa to our citizenship. She was fantastic. Straightforward, good communicator, excellent paperwork. I fully recommend her.

My Go To Immigration Attorney!

I am a Human Resource Consultant. I found Marla a few years ago after a big name immigration law group did a terrible job on a tough TN-1 Management Consultancy Visa. We not only engaged Marla to help us refile the TN-1 which was accepted but my client at the time continued to use Marla for all our v...isa needs. I have also used Marla for my other clients with TN-1's, H1-B and GreenCard filings. What I love most about Marla is she is really there for you by supporting you and the potential visa holder through the process.

Review Marla Schechter, Immigration Attorney

Marla was instrumental in helping get my work visa and subsequently handled our family case for Permanent Residency status. Marla is very knowledgeable of the processes and requirements at each step. She supported and guided us all along, reviewing and submitting our documents. She is very friendly a...nd would readily respond when I would phone or email her with queries. It’s been a joy to work with Marla as she spent the time explaining matters and could be relied on for timely advice. With her help we were able to meet our goals. Marla's fees are also are very reasonable. Thanks Marla ! We will always remember you.
