Timely, efficient, thorough immigration services

Tifany recently guided us through an immigration matter and greatly exceeded our expectations. She listened intently to our circumstances and issues and then designed a solution that perfectly matched our needs. Tifany was extremely professional and efficient, successfully guiding us through t...he process in a much shorter time frame than we could have ever expected. We had a very positive experience working with Tifany and cannot recommend her services enough.

非常专业的美国移民律师- 中国移民美国

我和家人当时急需为我们的未成年孩子处理一项移民案件。我们的案件并不是一帆风顺的,我们必须面对离开美国以获取合法身份的风险。Tifany 和她的团队在整个过程中给予了我们极大的帮助——从评估我们的情况、确定正确的方案,到一步步指导我们完成所有文件和最终面试。Tifany 和她团队的专业知识为我们人生中这个充满压力的阶段带来了希望和清晰的方向。多亏了他们的帮助,我们在今年年初顺利获得了合法居留身份。 如果您正在寻找有关移民事务的法律咨询,我强烈推荐聘请 Tifany 和她的律师事务所。

Exceptional Immigration Lawyer Who Truly Cares

My family urgently needed to navigate through an immigration case for our minor child. Our case wasn't a straight line; we had to face the risk of leaving the country in order to secure our legal status. Tifany and her team were able to guide us through the entire process, from evaluating our situati...on, determining the right approach, to walking us step-by-step through all the paperwork and final interview. Tifany and her team's expertise brought hope and logic to a stressful chapter of our lives, and thanks to her help, we were able to obtain the legal residency status earlier this year. If you need legal consult regarding immigration, I strongly recommend hiring Tifany and her firm.

Mexico Surrogacy

Preparation ahead of time is paramount to you coming home timely and safely. Tifany helped us to gather the right information, uploaded correctly and then replicated. She was informative and was our voice back home. She prepared all the right agency and had them ready for us to when we ready to ...contact them. Remember once you are in a foreign country it is very difficult to get docs as needed. Tifany prepared us well and allowed us to feel confident. I cannot say enough about her. I would definitely recommend her services for surrogacy law 100%. Thank you
