Visa Application

We were an event promoter, and presented many performing troupe's US tours from China. Attorney Mu used to apply visas for the groups in a limited time so that the performances could be held on time. Her experiences and professional competency made us confident in visa applications. We truly apprecia...te her services and are expecting to work with her again.

Outstanding Support from Attorney Sarah Mu

My experience with attorney Sarah Mu was exceptionally positive. In handling a complex case, she demonstrated not only deep expertise but also great sensitivity and professionalism. Her prompt and efficient communication was a significant aid throughout the process. Thanks to Sarah's assistance, my v...isa application was successfully approved. Her kind and empathetic approach made navigating the challenges much easier. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of expert immigration assistance. A heartfelt thank you to Sarah for her excellent work!

Sarah Mu, the best attorney I have met!!

I have been in the states since 1990, Sarah is the best attorney I have came across so far. She assisted my relative with an immigration matter. She was very prompt, diligent and professional in collecting info for the matter and in communicating with my relative and me. But when my relative deci...ded to give up such immigration pursuit, Sarah not only forgave my relative the remaining 40% contract commitment, but she also refunded my relative 20 % of the 60 % retainer fee, based on the actual hours she worked on the case, releasing my relative from the full contract obligation and only charging partial obligation. On a similar note, when my relative told me she wanted to cancel the contract (giving up the pursuit), I actually told my relative to prepare to pay the remaining 40% as she has already signed the contract committing to pay the entire agreed amount in full. I think Sarah is a great attorney with impeccable integrity, and professionalism, based on how she handled my relative's matter. I highly recommend Sarah X. Q. Mu !!! (BTW, I am glad I found Sarah online.) Edith Lee , senior accountant review posted 12/15/2021

Amazing Immigration Lawyer

Sarah is well versed in the details of the immigration visa process. Even though our case was extremely complex, she was very knowledgeable about our case and if there were any doubts or question she alleviated us you positive comments and kept us updated in a timely manner. We really feel luck to h...ave met her. I strongly recommend her expertise and services.

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.
