Working with Galorah rewarded us with piece of mind

We were stuck in an immigration case wherein USCIS did not seem to have totally forgotten our case. Our case was not moving forward making it way lagging behind the expected processing time. But once we had Galorah on our side we started to receive the long overdue notices from USCIS. My wife was acc...epted for permanent residency today only for Galorah's help. She is professional and has your best interest at heart. Working with her helped us to stop being worried all the time and rather focus on and enjoy our daily life. Thanks Galorah for who you are.

Galorah is really the best. Knowledgable, professional and a huge heart for her clients.

I should have written this at least a year ago since my husband and I are coming up on our 2 year anniversary, but better late than never! Galorah was absolutely stellar in helping us with our immigration filing. My husband is from Sweden, and I was terrified at the thought of navigating the immigrat...ion process but from our first phone call, I felt completely at ease putting our case in her hands. She is truly an expert in her field, and she is so personable. I felt that she truly cared about us as a couple. I always felt that she was available for questions or concerns, and that we were a priority for her. She made what could have been a nerve-racking process so very easy and smooth. She's very straightforward, matter of fact, and prepares everything for you so no fear of doing something wrong. All you need to do is stick to her timelines and give her whatever paperwork she requests. She is worth every dollar spent for her professionalism and for our peace of my mind. We have referred her to other couples in need of immigration help and will continue to do so as long as she is in practice. we cannot recommend her enough. We are so grateful for her expertise and so glad that we found her.

Galorah is AMAZING!!

Galorah is an amazing lawyer. She is very personable and proffessional. She has an extensive knowledge of immigration law. My husband and I got married last November. I had a very complicated immigration status when we got married. I was out of status. I desparetedly needed a professional help. One d...ay, I was looking for a lawyer online through this website called thumbtack. She responded to my inquiry quickly. Then the rest is history. As soon as we met with Galorah, we knew she would be our lawyer. She had a calm, a professional, and most of all, a very confident demeanor. A kind of confidence that seemed to come from her extensive experience. I had previously met with other immigration lawyers, but most of attorneys I met had uncertainty about my status and didn't really give me the confidence she showed me. She took care of the matter expediently. Our worries were instantly gone then. I am really glad to have her as our lawyer. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer, I strongly recommend her. She is just wonderful!!

Highly Recommended, Excellent Lawyer

In January this year my long-time girlfriend and I decided to get married when she was visiting from Argentina. When my wife returned to Buenos Aires I went to an immigration clinic downtown to have them go over our permanent residence application we had prepared. To our devastation we learned that m...y wife, an Argentine citizen, would not be able come live with me or even use her tourist visa to see me until the year long process was complete. Even though I had some immigration knowledge and experience I was not familiar with this technicality. I contacted Galorah to seek a second opinion. Galorah met with me and confirmed that this was correct and offered to help. I met with her a few more times to discuss the process and our options in proceeding. Once my wife and I decided on how to go forward Galorah BENEVOLENTLY AND SELFISHLY TOOK OUR CASE PRO-BONO FOR FREE! Not only is Galorah a lawyer with a truly great soul, she is knowledgeable and experienced in her field. She explained the filing process to us concisely, additionally noting the details of how the process functions in the real world as opposed to how it appears to work on paper. For example, she portrayed her expertise in the field by explaining that throughout the process different administrations routinely in practice ask for documents multiple times, when however, on the filing instructions they state that documents will be asked for on one occasion only. Additionally, her responsiveness also conveys her compassion and high quality level of counsel. Galorah has always been very quick getting back to us. Whenever we send her an email she usually responds the same day or the next day. Once we gave her the documents necessary for the application she promptly reviewed them and filed the application for us. Having Galorah as our lawyer has put us both at ease. We know what to expect in the coming months and are 100% confident that my wife’s application will be accepted. Recently, we received our receipt for our application and are excited to finish the application process with Galorah advocating for us. I highly recommend Galorah. From conversing with her about immigration law it is apparent to me that she is knowledgeable about many facets of the field. She helps all types of client and is truly a wonderful lawyer and compassionate human being

The ONE & ONLY Lawyer You Need

I do not want to give you too many details and bore you. But when I called Galorah for help, my mom was held at the airport and not allowed to enter the US. Unfortunately, she spent the night and the weekend at jail before she was deported. After a crazy weekend Galorah called me to see how I was d...oing. Out of the thousands of lawyers I had spoken to, over the weekend, there was ONE that called to see how I was doing. She didn’t even know me. She said she wanted to help me. A lot of people say that but a few mean it. Since my mom had been deported, I asked Galorah to help me with my brother. Over the course of several years, not one lawyer was willing to help me with his case. But what do you know? Galorah had everything done and his green card IN HIS HANDS before he was 18 (which was very critical)! Not only did she meet with us regularly, she went to Family Court as well as Immigration Court with us. When Galorah says you will get to a progress point with an “X” amount of time, she MEANS “X” amount of time! She does not claim to be able to do something unless she really can. And if she is unsure, she WILL BE HONEST about it. Since then, I have referred her to several different people and with no time, my aunt was able to come to the US as well. I can ramble forever! But I will not. Just know that if Galorah says she can help you, then you are in great hands. Trust her. I have and forever will continue to recommend her to everyone!
