Impressive, Smart & Sincere

Attorney Tolchin was instrumental in helping us through the naturalization process. She is incredibly knowledgeable as to how the system works, yet she is truly passionate about seeing her clients treated fairly. Her thoroughness during the initial prep of the citizenship application was quite impre...ssive. I don't think we would have had the positive results that we had without her. Can't rave enough about this attorney's effectiveness!

Thank you for your efforts

We were referred to Stacy Tolchin by another local attorney who told us that based on the information we provided him regarding my case, Stacy would probably be the only one that could get the desired results. How right he was! Over the almost six years we dealt with her and her associates, she never... once gave up her efforts to try to help me to become a Citizen of this great Country. And, while I admit there were times when I thought this would never happen, Stacy never stopped reviewing court decisions that could positively effect effect my case and allow me to file nor naturalization. Almost to the day, five years after our initial interview, Stacy e-mailed us to give us the good news that she had found the precedent we were hoping for in a recent court decision which then allowed us to go forward with my application for naturalization. At this point Stacy really went to work to get all the documentation prepared to allow my application to be approved. She continuously followed up to insure that the Department of Homeland Security and all the other agencies involved in this process had all the required documentation. When it came time for the initial hearing she reviewed all the possible questions that could be posed with me, and even gave me a practice Citizenship Test. Because of a scheduling conflict, and since I did not want to reschedule my interview, she asigned one of her associates, Megan Brewer, to accompany me to the hearing. I immediately felt comfortable with Megan, because I knew that if she worked with Stacy, she would do and outstanding job on my behalf. Her advice during the hearing and subsequently for additional information I needed to provide, was professional and to the point. As a result of Stacy's and her diligent and capable work, I was notified that I would be sworn in as a naturalized citizen, on Flag Day, 2016. Through this long process I found Stacy, as well as her entire staff to be extremely professional, forthright and caring to the point that all of them sent congratulatory notes when I received news. I read some of the reviews written about Stacy Tolchin, and the one thing that comes up over and over again is "....an Attorney Above and Beyond...". No truer words have ever been written, and we Thank you Stacy Tolchin.

Above and beyond an attorney

I was referred to stacy tolchin after winning a criminal reentry case in federal court.what we thought would be an eazy N600 application for citizenship quickly turned into a nightmare. we were thrown various curveballs by the sneaky Sidewinders at the ICE and DHS offices.ICE attempted to deport me e...ven though,I had the right to have my case reviewed by an immigration judge luckily,I had Stacy by my side. Stacy quickly moved and went to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals through her wide range of knowledge and experience in immigration law successfully got the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to Stay my order for removal.I was returned from the us-mexican border that afternoon and was placed at Adelanto Detention Center that was only the beginning of a two-year battle with ICE and the DHS. From the beginning Stacy guided me through the Labyrinth of immigration law. From the 9th circuit she got my case transferred to District Court(where I initially won the criminal reentry case) because of her knowledge and expertise of how courtrooms work she knew that would be the best route to take, I am glad to say that we are victorious over ICE and the DHS and I am now a United States citizen and she didn't have to resort to any unethical practices like ICE and the DHS did. From the beginning my case was no easy task but Stacy didn't flinch not once. Stacy is experienced,knowledgeable,professional but most important honest and caring Stacy went above and beyond for me and my family as I am sure she does for every client.

Not just a typical immigration lawyer

My case was very difficult from the beginning. My husband and I had exhausted every hope of trying to resolve my very complicated immigration case. We had already spent years and more than 30k with other well known lawyer firms to no avail. Then, a friend who was also a lawyer, heard about my case a...nd suggested I meet with her personally . He said he had so much confidence in her, that if his family needed an immigration lawyer, she would be the one to call. I was doubtful she would even take my case. But after meeting her and discussing my situation she was immediately interested. The difficulty of my case was not a deterrent but a welcomed challenge! I was immediately reassured with confidence and hope. After many phone calls, letters, interviews, and personal attention from Stacy herself, we finally received good news. My case was approved! I cannot thank her and her staff enough for everything they have done for me and my family. Thanks Stacy!
