Very Knowledgeable and Brilliant Attorney
I had a pending case which took years. I consulted with a lot of lawyers and they all advised that I withdraw my pending application and reapply because even if a decision is to be made regarding my pending application, it would be denied. I consulted with Charity and she advised that I need not withdraw my pending application. I hired her and within 4 - 5 months my case was approved. I’m so glad I encountered and hired Charity and took her advise not to withdraw my pending case as this could have caused me more delay. There are a lot of immigration lawyers out there but I can boldly say few are knowledgeable and Charity is one of the knowledgeable ones. I highly recommend Charity to anyone with an immigration case.

My favorite attorney
Just when I was looking for help regarding immigration, I found a great attorney in Charity Anderson. I was very skeptical at the beginning but she familiarized me into the whole process. With her knowledge and experience in the immigration matters, I hired her immediately but was low in confidence and there were also some fears of getting abandoned, especially due to virtual communication and time zones. As I progressed working with her, my confidence grew and so did my trust in her. She never left my side and answered every query of mine and understood my situation and made great suggestions to make the whole process go smoothly first time right which is exactly what and how I wanted it to be. She was extremely professional and I wouldn’t have done it any other way, and I am very fortunate that Charity Anderson has decided to reach out to me on that day that I needed her the most. She is obvious choice for anyone who needs help with immigration.

Thank you Charity
I was searching website for an immigration lawyer and found Charity Anderson. Came from Pakistan few days ago and needed immediate guidance. I highly recommended her as I found her very knowledgeable about most up to date immigration laws and situations after COVID-19. She took time to answer all my questions in a most professional manner and assisted me in the best possible way. Thank you Charity for all your help.

Thank you Charity!
Charity has been wonderful. From the moment we started talking she has always been willing to answer all of my questions in a way I can understand. We hired her to do my parent’s petition and I’ve been very pleased with her service. She is quick to respond and after completing her part of the agreement she has still been kind enough to give me input and review my paperwork before I submit. I appreciate how easy she made it to do this process through emails. I didn't expect it would be as convenient as it has been.
