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 previously had a bad experience with another lawyer who didn't seem to care much about my file and didn't have much knowledge about building the file itself... BUT! WHEN I SWITCHED WITH MAUREEN, IT TURNED ABSOLUTELY GREAT! She's been so responsive, fast, she kept me informed during the whole proces...s, and helped me so much with all these documents (800 pages!!!). She's such a hard worker, and I have no doubt that I got my O1 visa thanks to her. She definitely knows her work and how to make your file stand up. I will absolutely work with Maureen again in the future, and I recommend her to anyone. She is EXTRAORDINARILY BRILLIANT! thank you again Maureen, you're a life changer!!! :)

Some 4 years ago, I was at the lowest point in my life with no way out regarding my immigration status. Faced with impending deportation, I just did not have any one who could relate to my situation. However, the first time I met with Maureen, I left her office with absolute confidence that the immi...gration lawyers had met their match. I witnessed with great satisfaction how Maureen, very effortlessly rebutted all claims and reasons that had been used to deny my application for asylum. She took care of my case like it was hers. I've never seen a Lawyer, this devoted. I'll forever be grateful for the day that I met Maureen

When I was put under deportation I felt like I had no hope left, Maureen was by my side, not only to gather the necessary papers to help persuade the court judge to let me stay, but also to comfort me and listen when I needed someone to talk to. I was very surprised by all the research she ...did about my country and the knowledge she brought up including some statistics from my country most of which I did not know. Maureen is focused when she does her job and she pays a lot of attention to details. She makes sure you are able to give very detailed information. Whenever I had a court appearance, Maureen made sure that she prepared me very well, she asked so many questions that when I finally appeared before the Judge, most of the questions were familiar. Maureen is very open, she is also a good communicator, she does not only communicate via emails, she also called whenever she needed to or when I did not reply her emails on time. I never felt like a stranger in front of Maureen and she always treated me like someone she had known all her life, she is very warm and yet takes her job seriously. Maureen is not the kind of Lawyer you will ever forget. By the time my case was done, she had left a lasting impression on my family and me. Since Maureen helped me to get my green card a couple of years ago, I have not forgotten her, every time I meet someone who has immigration problems, I always think about Maureen, my family and I are very grateful for what she did to us and I hope she will be able to continue to help other families like she helped us. Ms. Maureen Johnson as a lawyer working on my immigration case was such a huge blessing.
