Family Visa

Mercy has been very helpful for filing for the F2A visa for both the stages. I went to her after seeing the good reviews she had in avvo. Her charges are very reasonable. She is very quick in giving responses and very professional. She is very accommodating to answer all the questions. I would re...commend her for any immigration related issues.

Extra-ordinary delay in filing H-4 case

Mercy has been my husband's primary go-to immigration lawyer for almost a decade. When I approached Mercy for my H4 RFE (extraordinary delay in filing), she offered a very smart solution and had a very thorough approach to how we should respond to it. She was very systematic in her research of how to... deal with my case. In the end, she was able to draft up the response to my rfe in just a couple of days and my case was approved! Super happy that we made the decision to hire Mercy for the case.

H1-B for a Start-up

Mercy helped me to get an H1-B for my startup. My case was beyond complicated: an H1-B extension pending and expired I-94, and on top of that, we were a newly funded startup with hardly any record of existence. Throughout the process, she analyzed the right steps and kept us informed about how she wo...uld proceed with the case. She was able to get 3 other H1-Bs for my startup approved. She always had a perfect(in retrospect: ingenious) solution for the most difficult RFEs we encountered during this process. She's pragmatic, smart, and extremely experienced. If you run in really complicated issues with your H1-B - Mercy has a TON of experience and I highly recommend her.

Green Card

During the entire 2 year Green card process Mercy was helpful, patient and meticulously followed up at every step of the process making it hassle free. At every step Mercy spent time explaining the process and the law. She was very approachable and would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Always there ......

I worked with Mercy since 2004. She represented me and my family for citizenship and green card applications. She represented co-workers in H1B and green card applications. Throughout my interaction with Mercy, she was always the consummate professional with the human touch. All her work was succe...ssful personal or business. She was always there to answer questions, provided prompt status information and was very supportive with INS interviews. I recommend Mercy very highly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
