She changed my life! Cambio my vida!

Like most attorneys, I met Susan at a very difficult time in my life. I truly was in fear for my future, but Susan and was so compassionate end extremely professional, every step of the way. Now 7 years later I the future is looking bright. I hired her for all of the steps, from my change status to m...y naturalization. She is very knowledgeable, she knows what to expect and the different scenarios and outcomes, she is honest and most important she treats you like a person, not a case file, a quality not easy to find anymore. I trust and recommend her 100% Como la mayoría de los abogados, conocí a Susan en un momento muy difícil de mi vida. Realmente temía por mi futuro, pero Susan fue muy compasiva y extremadamente profesional en cada paso del camino. Ahora, 7 años después, el futuro se ve brillante. La contraté para todos los pasos, desde mi cambi de estatus hasta mi naturalización. Está muy bien informada en como funcionan las leyes de imigracion, sabe qué esperar y los diferentes escenarios y resultados. Es honesta y lo más importante es que lo trata como a una persona, no como un caso mas, una culidad de sercivio que ya no es fácil de encontrar. Confío y la recomiendo al 100%. y habla español.

You can't find better than her

I was referred to Susan from the San Diego Lawyer referral service. I know lawyers are not cheap, but I have never regretted one second hiring this woman. She has been worth every penny. I had a basic my husband is a foreigner and we needed to adjust his status. But her and her office team knew right... away what forms to fill out, documents I would need, etc. It is true what all the other reviews say. She does get back to you very quickly and gets things done in a timely manner. I have read that other immigration lawyers have delayed the process for other people because they take forever to respond to questions or get their paperwork done. Not this office. I have had all sorts of random question about the immigration process and things I can and can not do with my husband and she has been there every step of the way to help us. We are not done yet with the process, but it definitely has given me a peace of mind knowing she'll be there with us through the journey.

Extremely Satisfied with Level of Service

I hired the Law Offices Of Jan Joseph Bejar as my immigration attorney for my marriage based adjustment of status. Mr. Bejar assigned my case to Susan Worm, and she immediately earned my wife's and my trust through her knowledge, attention to detail, and personality. As a Certified Specialist in Immi...gration and Nationality Law, she was able to answer all questions we sent her way regarding the 17 year old law (245(i)), that we would be using to adjust my status. Susan's responsiveness throughout the seven months should also be noted. She answered all questions via e-mail promptly, in detail, and with professionalism. She also provided continued follow-up throughout the process since my case was outside of the "standard processing times" offered by USCIS, though this was not her fault of course. We are extremely thankful to have had Susan as our Attorney. She helped us change my life for the better, and words cannot describe the gratitude felt towards her when I received my Permanent Resident Card. Thank you, Susan. As I said, if you are still deciding on an Attorney, please look no further.

Above and Beyond

If you are looking to hire an attorney, you shouldn’t just look at the years of experience, or the level of knowledge. You should also find out how much time an attorney devotes to every single case he/she works on. That was the most obvious downside I have encountered with my past attorneys. I go...t to know Susan from Avvo as I posted a question concerning my relatively complicated immigration case. I received answers from many attorneys but her answer stood out from the crowd as she revealed in depth details on my situation and she also provided the most appropriate solution. I decided to make a phone consultation and as I was listening to her opinion, I was surprised that she is on top of all new things regarding immigration laws that keep changing every now and then, and she pays a great deal of attention to minor details . She even put herself in my shoes and suggested another solution that would take the case out of her scope of practice. That solution was not feasible to me, but it made me trust her even more! All her opinions were told in an honest, humble, and highly professional manner. I decided to hire her, and I have never regretted this decision. After my experiences with my past attorneys, I decided to be very careful with my decisions, skeptic about any information I receive, and apprehensive for how they follow through the steps of the process. However, as Susan started working on my case I realized the difference. Over a year and a half, there were literally hundreds of emails between us. She never failed to respond to any of my requests. All my questions were answered promptly and satisfactorily. I even discovered that, on several occasions, she followed up on my case periodically, without showing off her efforts or telling me. She was paying attention to my case as if it was the only case she had… Of course it wasn’t! She worked diligently to save me time and let me go back to my family and my job in the shortest time possible. One time she left her office during working hours and went to FedEx office to file my documents in order to save me 24 hours of delay! I don’t think I can recall every situation when Susan proved her outstanding service. Therefore I will just conclude saying “Above and beyond!” Holding my visa at hand after being stuck in this process for over 5 years, and seeing how my previous attorneys handled my case, I feel that I was, finally, lucky to meet Susan, and I will always recommend her to everyone in the immigration process.
