Emily Singer Hurvitz

I came to Emily after a previous attorney had made a significant mess of my O-1A petition filing. I was stressed and uncertain about the path forward but Emily stepped in and completely turned the situation around. She assessed the damage and put together a phenomenal 642 page Request for Evidence re...sponse in just two weeks. The level of detail and strategic organization in that filing was remarkable. After submission under premium processing through the California Service Center the petition was approved within five days. Five days. That speaks to the quality of the work she put together. What stood out most was her communication throughout the entire process. She was always responsive and clear and made sure I understood every step along the way. She never left me guessing about timelines or next steps. Even after the approval came through she immediately followed up to clarify the details of my change of status and I-94 implications so I knew exactly where I stood. If you are looking for an immigration attorney who combines deep expertise with genuine care for her clients I would recommend Emily without hesitation. She took a case that felt like it was falling apart and delivered a result I could not be more grateful for.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. As an Art Director working in Hollywood on television productions, my immigration journey has involved multiple complex stages over the past several years. Emily supported me through my O-1A, my spouse’s O-3, and later our I-485 adjustment of status, as well as... EAD (I-765) and Advance Parole (I-131), including renewals. Most recently, she successfully guided us through the green card approval process. What truly sets Emily apart is her deep understanding of creative industry profiles and her ability to translate artistic work into a compelling immigration case. She played a critical role in shaping my profile and positioning it toward EB1A, clearly understanding how to present achievements in a way that aligns with immigration criteria without losing the essence of my work. Throughout the process, Emily demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, strategic thinking, and a proactive approach. She anticipated challenges early, guided me on strengthening my case, and ensured every submission was thorough and well-structured. Her communication is clear, timely, and reassuring. Immigration processes can often feel overwhelming, but Emily consistently brought clarity and confidence, making each step feel manageable and well under control. She was also incredibly helpful with timely advice around travel, including what to do and what to avoid, how to prepare for entry, and what to expect when interacting with CBP officers. That level of practical guidance made a significant difference during critical moments. For anyone in the creative industries, especially those considering O-1 or EB1A pathways, Emily is someone you can trust completely. She combines strong legal expertise with a genuine commitment to her clients’ success, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance throughout this journey.

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.

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).

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!
