U visa testimony

Testimonial: U Visa I entered the United States illegally at the age of 17 years old in 1988 and have resided in San Diego County ever since. In 2001 I was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and subject to deportation proceedings. 13 years residing in the U.S. and a bond amount all...owed me to leave the custody of the immigration and Customs Enforcement and be able to fight my case out of their custody. That same year I hired the services of a well-known immigration attorney in the San Diego area. It took 11 years between appeals and the costly fees for his services until my case reached the 9th circuit of appeals where they finally ordered my removal from the country in 2013. That same year and before I was deported from the country, I met attorney Ashley through a referral. After exploring some available options Attorney Ashley found that I was a candidate to apply for a U visa. Unfortunately, my deportation was already scheduled and could not be stopped due to negligence on the part of my previous representative. Attorney Ashley took my case before my deportation and helped me with the U visa process while I was already out of the country in Tijuana Baja California Mexico. Her dedication, passion and commitment to her work got my case approved and brought me back to my family in San Diego CA. in early 2016. Thanks to her and her commitment to helping her clients I am now a legal resident of the United States of America, and my wife was also able to obtain her residency as a collateral consequence through the U visa. We are very grateful for the help she gave us, bringing me back from Mexico with the U visa and reuniting me with my family. I hope my testimony will help many people in similar situations and hire Attorney Ashley to represent you and help you with your case. Sincerely: Juan Thank you very much Attorney Ashley!

Ashley's Review

Ashley comes highly recommended. I was very impressed from day one. She is very professional and made me feel very confident about my case. These cases are always very stressful and she was always there for me and available when I needed her and for me that was an important factor. I am glad I ch...oose her to be my attorney.

Highly Effective Attorney

A few years after my family and I had arrived in the United States, fleeing gang and political violence from Haiti, Ashley was our star lawyer. As a humanitarian and a prominent law pundit in the region, Ashley studied our case and took on the government. Throughout the process, Ashley brings our... fears and uncertainties to a near-zero level. Ashley's reliability, profound knowledge of the immigration laws, and professional ethics bring us the confidence to not only become a good witness during the court proceedings but also guides us in finding authentic pieces of evidence to shift the legal burden on the federal immigration authorities. In 2013, Ashley's winning strategy turned our case into the first group in our family line that was granted political asylum in the United States. Throughout our experience navigating the U.S. complex, entangled immigration legal system, especially as a minority, we have learned that having the best legal representation makes a vital difference. Well, Ashley is the answer! Ashley now is our go-to person for all related immigration topics. Our family highly recommend that you, at least, consult with Ashley before hiring any other immigration lawyer. As my sister in law puts it, "Ashley is the best immigration lawyer in town." My sister in law is right, Ashley puts the client's best interest at the epicenter. Give it a try, then, you will experience Ashley's excellent work ethics and reliance.
