Best Immigration Attorney
Anna Hysell is the best immigration attorney I've dealt with. She took my complex immigration case and assured me that everything will be fine.
She mentioned specific time frames on how long it will take to process my case. Processing my case took exactly what she told me and I was granted U.S. citizenship in just 1 year and 2 months after applying.
I'm very grateful for Anna and I highly recommend her for anyone who needs an immigration attorney. Her prices are very reasonable as well.
Thank you Anna for being so professional, caring and knowledgeable immigration attorney : )

Anna helped my wife get a greencard!
Me and my wife were going through a complicated immigration case that required a special waiver to pardon my wife for her illegal presence. It was a really stressful and scary time for my family. Anna and her team made the entire immigration process easy. She put together a great case for my wife, and finally my wife was approved for a permanent resident green card!!

Fantastic Immigration Attorney
Anna is a fantastic immigration attorney that is honest and helped get case done. She helped get one of associates TN visa. It was a rush job and they were very accommodating and were able to get the paperwork completely turned around in just one week. Her staff and team were extremely attentive and quickly answered my questions. Her prices were fair and competitive and we are planning to use their services more in the future

Excellent, a real advocate!
She is professional but friendly and she really knows what she is doing. She helped me and my wife get her green card. We were worried because she overstayed her visa and was here illegally. But Anna was able to alleviate our fears and proved her word to be true during the entire process. My wife was able to adjust her status in less than 6 months.

Great!
I found Anna and North County Immigration through Google and was happy to find that she was exactly how she was described. She is professional but friendly and she really knows what she is doing. She helped a very close friend get her green card. We were worried because she overstayed her visa and was here illegally. But Anna was able to alleviate our fears and proved her word to be true during the entire process. My friend was able to adjust her status in less than 6 months.

Finally a US Citizen
Did a consultation with North County Immigration about getting my citizenship. Ended up using their Review Service which was a great alternative. I prepared my application myself and then she reviewed my application to make sure it was correct and gave great suggestions of what documents I should include. Definitely recommend their office. They are reasonable and don't rip you off

change of status, immigration case
Ms. Hysell helped us get permanent resident status in a very complicated case. She returned our calls promptly and made sure we have all the necessary paperwork completely filled out. We had two interviews which she helped us prepare for that ended up being critical to getting the status change.
I have also referred a friend to her who she helped gain status through DACA.
She was clear on what prices were and unlike some other attorneys never strayed.

Didn't help
We were referred to Anna by one of her customers but we had no luck what so ever, they were prompt in collecting the initial fee couple years ago but to date, she didn't work on my case , she wasn't accessible by phone nor she answered her emails. It would be more professional if she would say she can't do it upfront so we wouldn't loose money & time.

Worst lawyer ever
in the last week
Worst experience with immigration lawyer EVER! my husband went in only to see if they could schedule the interviews in Juarez for a green card that was already pre approved for the first part, meaning all past occurrences had been covered. She charged 100 dollars for half hour consultation. Just to say she could not do anything at all for us, that he could not even help him apply for his sentry card because of my visa revocation! Clearly she had not even understood why we were seeking counsel. I think this is a rip off. 100 dollars just to say this was a case were there was nothing she could do for us? Why did she take our money then!

"When Anna Hysell told me that she wanted to open her own immigration practice, I told her she'd be wildly successful. As the managing partner of a national law firm, I know what it takes, and Anna Hysell proved me right. Anna Hysell is a charismatic immigration lawyer who is a tireless advocate for her clients. As a former government prosecutor, she has the expertise to handle even the most challenging cases. When Anna Hysell speaks on behalf of her clients, other counsel and judges pay attention."

"Anna is an excellent and tireless advocate for her clients. She previously worked as an Assistant Chief Counsel for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (as a government attorney in the Immigration Court), and has extensive experience in family and business immigration in private practice. Her government background gives her an edge in removal cases and cases where clients are detained. I have known her for several years now professionally and also know and trust her on a personal level. I could not recommend her more highly."
