Highly Recommended Lawyer

Marla had shared my journey in becoming a Permanent Resident since 2018 starting from my TN Visa till the complete I-485 process. Marla is very well experienced and methodical in her approach. She had gone above and beyond in solving issues in my case and always came up with a realistic solution. ...She is honest and does not hesitate in stating the facts. I had recommended her to a friend of mine in the past and will recommend her again to anyone who requires immigration legal services. Thank you Marla.

Experienced and Knowledgeable

WOW - what else can I say? Marla helped me with my TN renewal, H1B and Permanent Residence applications over the past few years and has always been very responsive and knowledgeable. She is truly an expert and I appreciate everything she has done for me and my family. Thank you Marla!!

Successful TN and Other Advice

I highly recommend Marla to anyone seeking immigration advice. Marla helped me obtain my TN visa. She walked me through the process and answered all my questions to ensure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. I have consulted with Marla on other immigration matters since then and hav...e received the same excellent, straight-forward and helpful counsel.

Easy Process

Hands down the easiest process ever undertaken with the assistance of Marla. I was so very nervous about not having all of my proper documentation and paperwork in order. Marla presented me with a concise and realistic list of info required to present the best possible case for my L1A application. ...The entire process from retaining her to actually being granted L1A status was under 30 days. Fast, efficient and thoroughly knowledgable in her profession. And the best part - she was available to speak / consult when I needed her. I will absolutely be utilizing her services again

Lengthy Relationship, Always Helpful (and Successful)

I have worked with Marla Schechter for a decade now - it started with a creative solution to my immigration needs, ensuring that i got my L1A visa so I could expand my business in the US. She was there for me through my renewal, my green card process and ultimately my citizenship application (which w...as successful). Marla had a depth of knowledge and very reasonable fees - she managed the work herself and was always available and quick to outline what she needed from me for us to succeed. I have recommended her to several friends and family members and everyone has been very pleased. I recommend her without any reservations.
