Exceptional Immigration Attorney with Expertise, Compassion, and Results

My journey with Emily has been extremely rewarding and truly wonderful. Over the past year alone, I had the privilege of working with her on three different immigration matters: changing from H-1B to B-2 status after losing my job, transitioning back to H-1B with a new employer, and filing my marria...ge based Green Card application—which was successfully approved. Managing all of these cases within the same year could have been overwhelming, but Emily made the entire process smooth, clear, and reassuring. Beyond her deep expertise in immigration law and exceptional professionalism, Emily’s responsiveness, clear communication, compassion, and genuine commitment to her clients truly set her apart. During these stressful and uncertain times in the U.S. immigration landscape, it is rare to find an attorney who listens patiently, provides clarity, and sincerely works in your best interest rather than creating unnecessary fear. I am incredibly grateful to have found that in Emily. If it were possible, I would give her far more than a five-star rating. I will continue to confidently refer her to everyone I know and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Very smooth experience working with Emily

Emily was wonderful to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable about my case and situation, readily available and easy to communicate with, and totally on top of the details in terms of coordinating, timing, and iterating on documents. I always felt like she, and her assistant Rizza, we're working... with me and that they understood how important this case was. In terms of the work, my case was very straightforward. However, there were many times I was uncertain about different aspects and timelines and that's when hiring a knowledgeable lawyer such as Emily made a difference - she knew the context of the whole process and was always able to explain things that allowed me to make informed decisions (or take her recommendations outright).

Professional, Quick, and Supportive

I can’t thank Emily enough for her hard work and dedication to my case. Emily and her team wasted no time, everything was handled so quickly and smoothly. When something unexpected came up and a few things needed to be adjusted, she jumped right on it and took care of everything right away. She truly... cares about her clients and her work, and she always makes me feel confident and supported throughout the process. I absolutely love working with her and am so grateful for her. She’s not just an exceptional lawyer, she’s a genuinely wonderful person too! I would recommend Emily to anyone. Thank you so much, Emily!

Above and Beyond in Every Step of the Process

I cannot thank my lawyer enough for all her guidance and support throughout my visa process. From the very beginning, she was there every step of the way—often acting as the bridge and communicating with my employer on my behalf. Her strategic thinking and ability to find solutions, even when it seem...ed like no options were left, made all the difference. She went above and beyond to ensure I was supported, informed, and confident throughout the entire journey. I am truly grateful for her hard work, dedication, and immense support. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a committed and knowledgeable immigration lawyer.
