Quick case and great results. :)

I was looking for a lawyer so I went on a search for one. In the end I had a choice of 3 of them but what ended me choosing Mercy was how informed she was on my type of case compared to the other lawyers who instead sent their paralegals to sort out my case. The other paralegals told me things like "...well I'm not sure , let me call my partner" or "yeah I think" we can do that.". Something that I really didn't want to hear. So when I went with Mercy I could totally see the differance. I explained my case to Mercy and right away explained to me all the steps and what exactly would happen. I got all my questions answered and my papers put together to be sent out. I also liked the way she worked because she put together my file a certain way so the office reviving it could just flip through and check. I think she did everything in a timely matter and I especially like that ahem personally handles everything so you know that those years of experience are going to be used with you. And even still when we had a price miscommunication she was really understanding and ended up working something out. Over all having Mercy as a lawyer gave me peace of mind because it was really easy to tell that she knew how to handle my type of case. The only downside was that I lived about a hour away from her office but even then she fixed it up so that I would only have to come a couple times . but I think it was way worth it because my case got approved and I could not be anymore happier!!

Excellent attorney for Immigration cases

My case for AOS was straightforward and Mercy was prompt, knowledgable and very responsive throughout the process. Would definitely recommend her.

Mercy Sequiera

It has been close to six years since I have been Mercy's client. It has always been a pleasure working with her, ever since I first approached her. I had my EB2 national interest waiver petition approved through Mercy. She is very knowledgeable, very approachable, easy to reach and easy to communica...te with. In addition, she has always been very prompt in filing my paperwork, ensuring that nothing got delayed. Her advise on several immigration matters has proved invaluable to me over the years.

Best immigration lawyer ever!!!

Mercy has the expertise and experience to get your immigration problems solved the right way and as fast as possible. Most importantly she really cares about her customers. These qualities make the difference between an average immigration attorney and an excellent one. I had personally struggled wi...th different companies and different immigration attorneys for 6 years to work on my green card with very deceiving results. Mercy was the attorney that took my case, drove me through the process and got the green cards completed for me and my family in only 9 months! I highly recommend her to anybody that needs assistance with immigration issues.

Mercy helped bring our family together!

Mercy was instrumental in helping to reunite our family! My husband was living/working in another country and I was a U.S. citizen living in the U.S. with our two minor children. Our case was extremely complicated yet she guided us completely along the way. She made numerous calls to the embassies an...d did whatever was needed to get us through the process. In all of this she never gouged us on the prices either. We are completely grateful to Mercy and highly recommend her.
