This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great attorney

I have an employment based green card case, Victoria was in charge of filing my case. I had concerns about the process, as the process is extensive, Victoria was very professional and methodical, she would make sure my concerns and questions were addressed, and made sure information on the forms were... accurate and adequate. I highly recommend Victoria.

O1A visa petition - Approval

I got in touch with Victoria after I received a 7 page RFE for my O1A petition. My RFE deadline was only 6 weeks away and Victoria had to work on my entire case again from scratch. She met the required deadline and we submitted it in 6 weeks. I got an approval on the 7th working day. This visa was m...y only option to live in the US and she made it happen. Victoria works on the entire case by herself- its not passed on to paralegals, so it is her expertise that is used in the case. She is very professional, knowledgeable and a great communicator. She responded to all my queries promptly and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. Thank you for everything Victoria!!! I highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
