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.

Below average service compared with other lawyers

I utilized Mercy for some consultation for some immigration questions and options (specifically H1B). I met Mercy at her office and she was helpful to offer her opinion. Mercy was upfront with the fact she is more familiar with family based immigration rather than employment based issues, but her kn...owledge was still sufficient for general discussion. I had a below average experience with getting any further assistance from Mercy. While Mercy took down my case number provided by my insurance company, I reached out about 3 times for a phone consultation and was unable to schedule an appointment or reach her. All other lawyers I've dealt with have been outstanding in our sessions and very responsive to setting up appointments. Mercy unfortunately was neither of these as compared to other lawyers.

Hi Tim, I am sorry I could not attend to you immediately. Depending on our work load, we get back to our clients as soon as we possibly can. We do not cancel appointments once we set them. We make appointments only when we have availability.

Consultation

For an ongoing divorce case, I had approached Mercy for a second opinion as well as consulting related to immigration matters. She was very quick to understand the problem and give very good consultation. She is a straight forward and very good human being

H1B Renewal + extension

Mercy helped me obtain a H1B visa renewal and extension. She also was a great support when I was asked for Request for Evidence. She's professional, trustworthy and very responsive, she answered all my questions in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mercy!

Mercy was professional, helpful and very responsive when ever I had a question. Without her, I am sure I would still be filling out all the paper work!!

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.
