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!!

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

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!
