Nanya Thompson is a excellent lawyer!

2011 I was convicted of a felony which I was put in deportation proceedings. My family hired Nanya to assist us in this difficult time with everyone She provided the best legal advise for me and was in constant communication with my criminal attorney so I can vacate my charge for "ineffective assis...tance of counsel" so that I could go back to criminal court and not be deported. She assisted me with declarations, motions and appeals for the immigration courts. She did an awesome job, she communicated with my family with everything that was going on, and she fought for me all the way through. Well everyone my criminal charge was vacated and I did not get deported. Thanks to Nanya and her 100% devotion to my case. I am reunited my family, my children and friends. I want to tell everyone that if you are going through a difficult time with immigration law contact Nanya she will be there for you and guide you and give you the proper advise to beat your case and not get deported. Remember though that every case is different but you are not alone with Nanya. She is a great immigration law attorney. For everyone that is going through a hard time I wish you the best and good luck!

Immigration matter

Due to a minor drug offense, I was arrested and sent to ICE detention facility and booked in and faced deportation. Hiring Nanya Thompson as my immigration attorney is by far the best thing I've ever done since coming to USA. Nanya is a very firce and confident lawyer, knows her job and she is prett...y damn good at it. She helped me get released and asked and proved to the judge that I deserved a second chance, got my freedom back and she also helped me get my green card. Not only these, she also became my mentor, she inspired me to go to school and study and become a productive citizen. she went so far to even help me find the school and helped find out about my registration process and dates. Hire Nanya and she will help you with your immigration needs and who knows maybe she inspire you to turn your life around for the better like I did. Thank you Nanya.

Most reliable lawyer

I've met Nanya few years back. After falling out of F-1 status with very slim chances of being reinstated, she of course won the case! She then helped me and my fiancé wIth marriage based visa with yet another success story. Nanya takes her responsibilities extremely to heart, is an excellent, ver...y detail oriented lawyer. She takes time to listen, and is very reliable. I've referred others to her and wouldn't hesitate to ever seek any lawyer advice if needed. Highly recommended!
