EXCELLENT POLITICAL ASYLUM ATTORNEY!

I have come to attorney Tatyana Edwards after having my case mishandled by another attorney in San Diego who claimed to be an expert, but ended up not doing much on my case. I was afraid it would be denied so little was done. Working with Tatyana was completely different. She would spend hours with m...e helping me prepare a stronger case, analyzing the specifics of my case and making valuable suggestions on which documents would be more helpful in having my case granted. I enjoyed working with her and was particularly surprised at how generous she was with her time and tirelessly generating ideas. She was personable, helpful and extremely well organized. She met separately with me on several occasions preparing me thoroughly for the interview. And my case was granted!!! Which of course was not a huge surprise after I saw how much time and effort was spent on it by my attorney. Thank you Tatyana, for being such a highly professional and dedicated attorney. I appreciate everything you have done for me and my family. I cannot thank you enough for helping me to stay in this wonderful county I can now call home. Forever grateful

If these are not the best immigration lawyers in the nation, then who??

If these are not the best immigration lawyers in the nation, then who?? I am from Brazil and more than 2 years ago got married to a US citizen and applied for a green card in Las Vegas. With the help of a local “lawyer” I obtained my conditional residence. When time came to file the I-751 remo...val of condition, that lawyer eagerly took my money to “prepare” the application, but when I notified him my wife and I separated, filed for divorce and I needed to file the I-751 alone, he suddenly became unavailable: my phone calls were no longer returned, emails went unanswered and even when I walked into the lawyer’s office unannounced he still managed to avoid me. In the meantime I had to move to California to accept a wonderful job here. It was then that I was introduced to Giacomo and Tatyana, who were highly recommended to me by other fellow Brazilians who had been in the same, or even more desperate situations than I was (immigration court and all…) Giacomo and Tatyana managed to save me from my predicament, by providing me with highly creative ideas on how to assemble my case to achieve the most effective and expeditious result. As a result of their incredible work I recently received my new, 10-year green card in the mail in less than 2 months! And without having been called to an interview, despite having applied for the I-751 alone! This result was so fantastic, that neither myself, nor any of my friends and co-workers could believe it! And yet, this is what characterizes the quality of work that Giacomo and Tatyana consistently produce, and comes as no surprise to all of us who are blessed to count ourselves as their clients. Obrigado, dear Giacomo and Tatyana for caring so much for your clients and being the Best of the Best in the nation!! And, last but not least, many heartfelt congratulations to both of you for successfully passing the state of California Legal Specialization Examination in the area of Immigration and Nationality Law!!

Miracle work on removal case

My girlfriend is a graduate student in California. She has been in the states for 3 years and thus has not seen her parents for the same period of time. A few months ago, she got the permission from her adviser to take a vacation and see her parents. However, her F-1 visa expired already. While h...er DS I94/I 20 give her legal status to stay in the states, she is not able to travel with these documents. We went to Mexico to renew her visa, but the consulate decided to run a security clearance on her before they can issue her the visa. At the time, we had the misconception that she can come back to the US to wait for the security clearance. However, at the border, she was denied entrance to the US and subsequently placed under the custody of CBP/ICE. I was informed by the CBP/ICE officers that my girlfriend is subject to the removal proceeding since she tried to enter US without a valid visa. I felt that the punishment was too harsh for the crime, but I didn't know what to do about it. At this time, I found Giacomo Behar on avvos and called him. The case was handled by both Giacomo Behar and Tatyana Edwards. These attorneys were very thorough in getting the case information from me, making sure all accounts are accurately described. For the next two weeks, Giacomo and Tatyana made quite an effort to reach the CBP/ICE officers and updating me whenever they have new findings. Originally, the ICE officers tried to issue an expedite removal on my girlfriend, but Giacomo and Tatyana fought it off and bought us some time. My girlfriend and I wanted to request for voluntary withdraw of request to enter the US, but it seems that the ICE officers aren't being very responsive to our request. A week or so later, the ICE officer tried to perform the expedite removal again. This time, the officer seems to be pretty determined and unwilling to make compromises. Just when I thought that all causes are lost, Giacomo and Tatyana were able to reach their contacts in the ICE and touched them with our story. Now, instead of being deported, my girlfriend is given the opportunity to see an immigration judge. The best part of it being that she was paroled out of the detention facility without a bond. This was truly a miracle, and we owe much thanks to Giacomo Behar and Tatyana Edwards.

Yes, Tatyana Edwards handles impossible cases, and wins them

She and her staff are extremely professional and friendly.She explains all your options, and explains each process and costs fully, so that there are no surprise later. She knows what she is doing and is honest which is rare in my experiance. I had very complicated cases ( my wife's and mine). Prior ...to bringing our cases to Tatyana Edwards we had "affordable" legal attorney whose advices and job turned out to be quite expensive as that person took us down costly wrong turns that lead to the dead ends. Our cases had been denied by any possible court. We were at the end of our immigration journey in US. Lucky for us, we found Tatyana Edwards! From the moment we spoke with her, we became confident that she would help us. Tatyana was able not only find mistakes, but she was able to think outside the box, she listened, evaluate our cases, and proposed a creative solution base on our needs. Tatyana is very knowledgeable and prepared. After being dead locked for 10 years, my case is resolved for today in 1 year. And not only resolved, I am US citizen for today. It is fantastic results Tatyana brought to me. She cared just as much about my concerns as I did. She is always available for you. You will be surprised how much effort Tatyana puts in your case and what a great job she does. She is perfectionist. She is extremely dedicated, precise, and detailed with her work and pays close attention to it's presentation as it is a reflection of her.She is most available attorney I knew, from start to finish. I would highly recommend Tatyana Edwards's law firm to anyone seeking honest, reliable work at an reasonable fees.Tatyana Edwards is a lawyer with superb logic, great personality and devotion of bringing great results. Your case is your present and your future. Start your success with the right people.• • •
