Thank you so much Ms. Aggie, You made the impossible dream come true

Ms. Aggie is the most amazing and wonderful lawyer anyone can deal with. We had a very complicated case and were looking for experience lawyer with good reputation and we found Ms Aggie on super lawyer web site, and she is really a super lawyer. First, she encouraged us not to lie in even a single t...hing which is something we appreciated so much. We did not have enough documentation to support our case, but she contacted an expert witness for us, worked very closely with us and discussed every single detail in our case. She got my wife prepared really well for her interview. Also have to mention to her assistant, Elena, she was very quick to respond to any question, always lovely and easy to deal with. After long work together, our case got finally approved this week. And because good news comes together, on same day we received the approval, we found out that my wife is pregnant with our first baby. We are so grateful to God for what he is doing in our life, and for leading us to Ms. Aggie. Thank you Ms. Aggie for everything, you made huge change in our life. God bless.

"Aggie returned the lost dreams and hopes to my life"

I was tired of my immigrant status in this Country and I totally lost all my hopes because any lawyer was able to give me a direction of how to change my status. I saw different lawyers and no one was able to say something different. All of them were so negative and their response were the same "You ...need to wait for your turn and in base of your application at least you need to wait 12 or 14 years more" after such responses I lost my hopes and decided to keep my dreams in a little box. Is hard to live in this country just day by day with no chances of future and progress. One day I met my husband who is from Germany and we went to a German place that we like to go all the time, we started talking to the bartender and my husband shared his idea of putting a business in USA, but his status was not allowing him to do that and in that moment she suggested us to go to see the lawyer that helped her 7 years ago, she recommended us to see Aggie Hoffman, The bartender gave us a HUGE hope because she shared her difficult case with us and said a lot of good things of the lawyer. She was our angel because we went to see Ms.Aggie and she said "you guys are the perfect match", She was able to fix our residency at the same time! How?“using an alternate visa chargeability” between Mexico and Germany. I couldn't believe it because I never heard such a thing but she gave us a lot of trust and my first impression of her was that she was very knowledgeable lawyer and we didn't think about it twice. During the process of our case was difficult because was hard to make immigration understand our case but Aggie Hoffman was persistent and with her experience she made them understand . A peristent and knowledgeable lawyer is exactly what is missing in a lot of lawyers. A lot of lawyers are looking for the easiest way to get money, they love easy cases but not to Aggie Hoffman. She looks for the challenge and for the best way to help you. She is a fighter and she will do everything that is on her hands to fight for your case. Aggie Hoffman is a very talent and professional lawyer and her assistant is a very sweet person who was also all the time in touch with me and I can say that she is a very sensitive person and she made me feel that she was understanding my concerns, my stress sometimes and I can say that I felt like she was part of my family. I really appreciate that! I can't find enough words to thank her for everything that she did for us, she opened the door of our future in this land and I highly recommend her services.

Dear Aggie!!! I can't thank you enough for everything you did for my family!!!

Ms. Hoffman saved me from deportation and 10 year bar from entering United States!!! I came to the United States in 1999 on the Fiancé Visa. I got remarried, and I had a daughter. My husband and I own a coffee shop. My first immigration lawyer made a mistake in the process for obtaining my legal ...status. That mistake was so hurtful that it ruined my chances to become a US resident. I was facing the deportation and 10 year bar from entering United States. My family had to be separated, and my daughter had to go to absolutely different country with different language. She had to be separated with her father. Financial hurt from that situation would of being enormous. My husband and I searched for the new lawyer and the solution of that horrible situation! I made at least 100 of phone call to different immigration lawyers. Most of them didn't want to get involved in such a difficult situation. Others didn't see any way out, without leaving United States and facing 10 year bar. When we almost gave up the hope, we find Ms. Aggie Hoffman. Ms .Aggie Hoffman find the solution to my problem. It took us 12 years and a lot of work to resolve this situation. Ms. Hoffman stood by our side and her knowledge and persistence made it possible for us to fight all the way. In November 2011, Immigration Judge finally granted me Permanent Resident Status!!!! I am so thankful to Ms. Aggie Hoffman for all her hard work and her big heart! I can recommend Ms. Hoffman like an outstanding professional, knowledgeable, reliable lawyer and understanding person!!!
