I’ve never been so glad that I called a lawyer

My wife and I have working with Sunita for over fours at the time I’m writing this on November 2020. We had heard claims that many people were able to navigate this seemingly simple process in the past all by themselves. We decided to play it safe and consult an expert in October 2016 because we d...idn’t want to risk making a mistake. We had no idea how many different paths to residency and citizenship existed and we certainly had no idea how much the legal landscape was about to change. Sunita has helped my wife gain legal permanent residency and is currently helping us through the process of naturalization and we and beyond relieved to have her continued guidance and emotional support. This is a long and stressful process and we’ve had to make compromises (like missing funerals for family members in her home country) in order to stay the course. Make no mistake, there are figurative land mines all over this path and Sunita helped steer clear of them all. My life, my wife’s life and our marriage are where they are today in part because of our decision to ask Sunita for representation. She returned emails quickly, explained the process many times, was on time, met commitments, gave clear instructions on assignments, provided feedback and made sure we didn’t step on any land mines along the way. We’re forever grateful.

Best Attorney!!

Sunita Boddu is a professional, caring attorney. She was easy to reach and always took personal interest in our case. She responded to my calls by email or phone each time. She has been our immigration attorney on several cases for close to 10 years and has helped various members of my family to beco...me US permanent residents. I would hire her again without hesitation and I always tell family and friends about her. Thank you, Sunita!

5 stars

In order to help my Ukrainian nephew to obtain a working visa I contacted several law offices in Irvine. The only attorney who talked to me on a professional and friendly level was Sunita Boddu. She immediately understood the issues, gave me great advice and put me on the right track. I hired her... on the spot. It was great to work with such a caring, knowledgeable and meticulous lawyer. She had nailed the case. We continued our working relationship with Sunita and now my nephew has a green card, a great career and he and his family are on the road to becoming new citizens.

Thank you Sunita!

My wife and I were getting married. She grew up in Canada, and would have to move to the United States. Friends had told us that the immigration process, applying for permanent residency, starting the process for citizenship, could be complicated. We went to the government web site, looked through... all the documents, and were still confused with many questions. A colleague recommended Sunita and we enlisted her help to navigate the daunting maze of legalese and document preparation. It was the best decision we made. Sunita explained the process in simplified terms, gave us a list of things to do and pitfalls to avoid, and guided us through the whole process, which went very smoothly. She made it much less stressful, took away the burden of the application and paperwork, and gave us valuable tips. She was patient with our many questions, answered emails promptly even late at night, and made us feel confident about the application and interview. My wife now has a green card. When it comes time for the citizenship paperwork, we'll be calling Sunita again!
