Renewal

Mercy helped me obtain my work permit 2 years ago, this time she helped me renew it. I couldn't be happier with everything she has done for me, she is very trustworthy and she is very easy to reach but that wont be necessary because shes a responsible attorney. my sister is also going through the sam...e process but ill let her describe her experience.

Getting a K1 Visa from Mexico

Told me from the beginning about how much Time & Money it would take for a Fiance Visa (K1) from Mexico to go through. When we needed her most was when we were in Ciudad Juarez & needed paperwork, she came through everytime. Bottom line we got the green light for the K1 Visa because of her. Withou...t her I wouldn't of had the patience to do this by myself. Waiting is the hardest part & there is plenty of that , but when you know it upfront it's a little more tolerable. Communication is the most important part to me & she was on the level which was quite refreshing. Thanks for no "bad" surprises Mercy

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!!

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.

Excellent lawyer

Me and my husband are thankful that we met miss mercy.she is nice and very knowledgeable about immigration. Before coming to her office,we consulted a "celebrity immigration lawyer",and it was very unpleasant coz all the lawyer talked about was how expensive the cAse will be since its complicatd.he ...is suppose to give us 1hr consultation but only lasted for 30 mins and no good news.then we went for miss mercy and she gave us not an hour consultation but it seems like two hours coz she was very detail.she is very honest,straight to the point and considerate to her clients.she is always available to her clients.my husband and i are very happy that for four months after filing the adjusted,we got my husbands resident card! I highly recommend her :)
