Stacy Eva Tolchin

After a federal conviction I was placed in removal proceeding by ICE. Being in my early 20s, and having lived in the United States for as long as I can remember, the thought of having to leave my loving family and live life elsewhere had never crossed my mind. I am forever grateful that Stacy came in highly recommended and that my family had hired her. After her taking over my case I saw how knowledgeable and experienced she was and when combined with her unmatched motivation for doing the right thing it gave me immense hope. We applied for termination of case as well bond in the meantime. I was told over and over by ICE officers at the detention center that bond is not possible in my case and I shouldn't be wasting my time. But since I had already, unfortunately, spent time in custody I knew that detention facility officer don't always have the most "accurate/helpful" information. After spending around a month in the detention facility I was granted bond. I am forever grateful that I had such a great team by my side... without Stacy I would still be in custody listening to all the inaccurate information peddled by the detention facility. Stacy is the best at what she does. It's not often you come across a gem like Stacy. I saw it firsthand. Thank you for all you have done so far! It means the world to me that I can be at home with my family again.

I was very satisfied with Mrs. Tolchin knowledge of immigration and criminal law. Without getting into details, I had a criminal record that could affect my dream of became a permanent resident. Mrs. Tolchin clear all my question and the solution she recommended to my case was very effective and I got my green card sooner than expected. I felt at ease working with her team (Yadira) and I'll definitely call them for my citizenship. I would 100% recommend Mrs. Tolchin to a friend.

I’ve been in search of a miracle worker for 20+ years and no one’s been able to take my case due to the complexity. I found Stacy through an extraordinary criminal attorney who enlisted Stacy. Stacy found the smoking gun that resulted in the dismissal of my criminal case. She then filed with USCIS to dismiss my immigration case and naturally, we won. Stacy is highly professional, very experienced, compassionate, and truly deserves the best attorney on earth title. I wouldn’t be on my way to receiving my naturalization without Stacy. I wouldn’t have my freedom without Stacy. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of any type of immigration service. She’s worth every penny and I’d pay her anything for what she’s done for me and my family.

Back ground: I was ordered deported by an immigration judge and on 3 occasions just missed ICE raids. My situation seemed hopeless and everything that PRIOR lawyers did was useless and a waste of money. I have been a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) since I was 3 years old but in 2006 I was convicted of CA PC 487 and PC 459.. After my release from a two year prison sentence I was transferred to ICE for removal proceedings. I was charged with having an aggravated felony! At trial, the immigration judge order me removed for LIFE!! I of course appealed and when that appeal failed I appealed again! and then again!! (If you are reading this then you know it cost a fortune.) I maxed out my credit and nothing was working! Then I found an attorney that specializes in 9th Circuit cases and she told me about a brilliant lawyer named Stacy Tolchin, they met at a conference and URGED me to call her. Although I was time barred and appeals barred, Stacy was able to get my life back! This past Thanksgiving 2021 I received a letter from the BIA that stated that; Although I was time barred and appeals barred they decided to terminate removal proceedings against me. My LPR status was returned to me! I thank God for working through Stacy and making all of this possible. Thank you Stacy I will be forever grateful to you.. EDIT: UPDATE 06/10/2022 I am very happy to add that today I became a Naturalized U.S. Citizen! Above all, I am grateful to God for making the impossible, possible! And for connecting me with such a skilled and talented person. Stacy stood by me during the entire process and was with me during my interview. She was able to answer the officers legal questions, and he was left in AWE with what she was able to accomplish with my case. Thank you Stacy for everything that you do for ALL of us faced with losing everything! -Oscar M.

Stacy is fantastic! She is smart and very up to date on all immigration laws and tactics and she thinks outside the box. We had a complicated immigration case that involved many steps and Stacy was not phased by any of it. She was referred to us by a few different attorneys, so we knew she was the one to go with! we did not regret it, as she knew how to navigate every situation we came across. I would highly recommend her!

For years I've been lied to and now that I am ready to help out inistalesade thanks to family and friends I forgive Im stuck in Atlanta ga

My case was a very difficult criminal case, very tricky in its outcome. Stacy handled it incredibly well. I used to be a lawyer myself in my country and could not believe the almost endless resources this woman could come up with. Simply incredible!!!

My case was very challenging. Honestly this difficult challenging case i had would time to time put me in a really dark place. I am truly lucky to met Stacy and Yadria. They changed my life to a level that i never thought it was possible. Stacy and Yadria’s kindness, leadership and professionalism amazed me and my husband. I am so grateful that i worked with the team for something so important in my life. Me and my husband are forever grateful for you both. Without your skills and kind supports, i couldn’t have made it. Thank you!

After waiting for almost 6 years of waiting for a decision, I contacted Stacy after having been through with 4 other lawyers, Stacy is very professional, she answers all questions, and she is always there for you, She is always ready to help out and you could feel she wants to help you. Stacy is a star and a hidden gem in the lawyers world. I recommend her to anyone with a pending case. And most importantly, her cost is very reasonable, not like other greedy attorneys that don’t care about you and care more about your money. We did a mandamus with Stacy and our final decision arrived within 60 days. We got granted finally after waiting since may 2015. Thank you Stacy, thank you.

After three decades as a U.S. Green Card holder, I was suddenly put in removal proceedings due to a minor criminal incident from over a decade ago. I have lawyers in the family and they all recommended Stacy as the best immigration lawyer in California, so I jumped at the chance to work with her. Once she took my case, it became clear why everyone recommended Stacy. She genuinely cares about her clients and she loves her work. When we first met, I was terrified that I would be taken from the country, my family, and the life I had built over 30 years. But from that first consultation, Stacy explained exactly what was happening and went over each step of her plan to get a waiver of removal. She explained how she had handled similar cases before and knew exactly what to do. And true to her word, Stacy and Yadira worked with me, held my hand throughout the process (including the disruptions of COVID) and WON my case! I have my life back, and it’s all thanks to Stacy. She is the reason I am still here with my family, and I feel so lucky to have been helped by her. If you or anyone you know needs an immigration lawyer, Stacy is the only lawyer you need. I can’t recommend her strongly enough.
