Maureen J Johnson

I agonized over the decision to hire a new immigration lawyer for my EB-1A green card application after I had obtained a succession of O-1s with my previous lawyer who was competent but had too many plates spinning at once. The decision to hire Maureen was indubitably one of the best life decision...s I have made to date. She was incredibly fast and efficient. She made herself available literally 24/7 -- which is the quality that I knew I needed most for my EB-1 case given its acute time sensitivity. Her bedside manner is exemplary, she is nimble and agile, an excellent writer, and she knows every pitfall to avoid and every hoop to jump through. She is tenacious and leaves no stone unturned. I recently recommended Maureen to a British friend in need of immigration advice and told him that Maureen is to US immigration lawyer what Nelson Mandela is to slave emancipation in South Africa. It was only a half joke. I could not recommend Maureen more strongly.

Working with Maureen on my O1 has been great. Very professional, prepared and ready to answer patiently any question. We went through the O1 process with a very positive attitude and she did an amazing job. Communication has been the key, always updating each other very frequently going straight to... the point. I would totally recommend Maureen to anybody that needs an immigration attorney.

I am a French composer and Maureen Johnson recently helped me and my sponsor to get my O1B visa so that I can work in the U.S. entertainment industry. I can’t say enough positive things about her and my experience working with her. Maureen was always very responsive to emails and phone calls and help...ed me through each step of the process. Her work was very thorough and she clearly works very hard and long hours. She is detail-oriented, dedicated and committed to doing a good job. I am grateful for all the work she did for me and appreciated all of her advice and guidance. She is also an amazing writer and the memo she wrote for my visa was beautifully written. I strongly recommend her to any artist or person of "extraordinary ability" who is looking to obtain a visa.

I am a professional actress and singer, based in Los Angeles. Maureen worked on the file for my green card and was an amazing attorney. I have to say what impressed me the most was that she was active, reactive and effective. Anytime I ever had a question, she would quickly answer it and if for an...y reason she was not able to do so, she would even give me a notice of unavailability so that I would not worry. The file she prepared for my green card was close to perfection. It was a great collaboration. Every step was explained to me very well. Once we were ready to send the file, we were all surprised of how fast I received the final green card! 2 months! I think that our work on the file was so detailed and well explained that it contributed to its quick success. I recommend Maureen to any artist looking to file an EB1A green card petition.

It's Thanksgiving! I am more than happy to thank Maureen on this day in a public form for doing a wonderful job on my O1 petition and helping me secure a O1 visa . Else than being super talented, I observed that Maureen was very responsive and caring. I always received proper attention from her and s...he didn't make any of those lame excuses which we hear all the time from attorney's - Couldn't respond, had been busy with my other cases blah blah... . But off course in this particular category (o1), a person has to be extra ordinary in his field but in the end it boils down to one thing -- how your strengths are presented to the authorities and Maureen very well knows to do it the best way! I think this last statement sums it all. You would be lucky to have Maureen by your side!
