      Review Lucy Avedissian

      Excellent Immigration Attorney!

      Posted by

      I would recommend Lucy to anyone who is seeking an immigration attorney. She is helping me with my employment based green card petition (eb3) and every step has been going super smoothly. I have to say that Lucy is truly an expert in her field. In addition to that, she always keeps me informed about my case and answers any questions and concerns of mine promptly. I sleep better at night now that I know my case is in good hands!! Thanks so much Lucy.

      Simply the best EB-1 lawer in th US

      Posted by

      Lucy helped our family get US residence based on the EB-1 petition in Arts (photography). Before meeting her, my wife and I had experience working with three other attorneys, and I must say that Lucy's qualifications and expertise in immigration law during the process were at the highest level. At each stage of our case from collecting the Eb-1 petition documents to the receiving the green card in mail, she was always intent on details, always keeping in touch with updates and advice, so she was very supportive. She is a very detail-oriented and forward thinking lawyer - this skill is a must when you are dealing with the Government and timing, especially these days when everything is changing every day with USA immigration law. So she does her best and always knows what she is doing. I recommend her as a one and only immigration lawyer in the US. Thank you Lucy!

      Fantastic Immigration Lawyer

      Posted by

      I worked with Lucy on my employment-based application for permanent-residence. She is a truly outstanding lawyer - she has a vast knowledge of immigration law, but is also very kind, considerate, and helpful. I received the impression that Lucy truly cares about her clients, as she conducts herself with integrity, and gives advice based on what approach she truly feels is the best (even if it will make her less money). Although I was in a bit of a time-crunch, Lucy ensured the entire process went smoothly, and assembled all the appropriate documents efficiently in a timely manner, without any errors. Notably, the whole process only took 8 months, from my first meeting with Lucy until the receipt of my approval notice! I was also very impressed (and grateful) for her accessibility - regardless of her schedule, she would often pick up the phone everytime I would call (and on the few times she did not pick up the phone, I would receive a call or email back within 24 hours). I highly recommend Lucy as your immigration attorney for whatever stage you are in with your application. Thanks so much Lucy!!!!!

      Best Lawyer in California

      Posted by

      Lucy Avedissian has been an excellent lawyer, she always keeps me informed about my case. Lucy always knows what she is doing, and does it at her best, and I cant thank her enough for that. I have had previous lawyers that failed to help me with my case by wasting time, money and not informing me about anything. My family and I were helpless until we met Lucy who was the answer to all of our questions. She helped us take the right steps that would help us with our case. She never failed in anything, in fact she always exceeded our expectations. She is always there when I have any questions, and provides me with so much information. Lucy means a lot to me and my family, without her we would be lost. She is the most important person in our lives. I would like to let everyone know about this experienced, and trustworthy lawyer.

      She saved my life

      Posted by

      Working with Lucy Avedissian has been a delightful, refreshing and prolific experience. I was referred to her by my paralegal who assisted me with my artist visa . At first, I was very scared and worried about my asylum application. She took care of all the necessary things and explained everything to me, so I understood what was going on, and I felt comfortable and confident with everything. what I want to mention about Lucy Avedissian is not only about her knowledge and experience, but also is about her caring character and her kindness. I found her so nice and confident and since I met her, she gave me the feeling that I could trust her. My case was one of the most difficult cases, but she accepted my case and assured me that she is going to take care of it. She offered me a very reasonable price. Unlike some other attorneys that I visited before, all she cared about was my case and not the money. She was always available and reachable. Her professionalism and knowledge made the process successful, as well as fast and smoothly going. I strongly and with great pleasure recommend Lucy Avedisiian. I recommend her for everybody who is looking for a trustworthy attorney.

      Proffesional and perfect lawyer.

      I had very bad stereotyped opinion about lawyers in US. But Lucy Avedissian changed my opinion at once. She handled my case with excellent knowledge of her work, and though she may seem very modest lady, in reality she is highly experienced professional and moral person. She never lied to me, and would always tell me all the probabilities and prospective ways which my case could go. And as I already rated, she is trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and very quick to answer to any possible question. Thank you Ms. Avedissian!

      Reverting an Immigration Denial!

      Posted by

      A few years ago, Lucy was working on my wife's paperwork. Long story short, I received a letter from the INS saying "Application denied"... "you cannot re-appeal". To everyone’s surprise (including the consulate’s officer) she disputed their claims so they reverted their decision and approved the application! Knowing that my friend was in a similar situation and neither his attorney nor the congressman letters made any difference, I fell in love with Lucy’s professional services.

      Great immigration attorney

I was very impressed with the way she handled my case and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who seeks an immigration attorney.

Attorneys at her level aren't always. I recommend her with the utmost confidence.

Ms. Avedissian was an amazing Chair of the Immigration Law Section at the Los Angeles County Bar Association for the 2009-2010 calendar year. Her knowledge of immigration law and procedure is extensive. A potential immigrant would be wise to consider hiring Ms. Avedissian as his or her attorney.
