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

knowledgable, affordable and innovative counsel for complex immigration issues

I contacted Sarah for a weird case where my immigration status could have been at stake. Before contacting Sarah, I had reached out to multiple attorneys, but none of them could provide me with any creative solution to my problem. Sarah was the first one to suggest that she had an innovative idea abo...ut my case. She listened to me very carefully, logged all relevant information, painfully parsed through all the evidence I had, and then represented them in a way that was true to the incidents but also enforced my position. She also acted on the evidence quite promptly, relieving me of all the anxieties that I had to prepare my case in a time-sensitive manner. She was also extremely sympathetic to my situation, offering me the time and space to collect all the evidence that took me quite a bit of excavation of troublesome incidents from the past. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable about immigration laws, very meticulous in her work, responds very promptly and does not charge for every single minute one needs to consult for. Overall, I feel extremely grateful for what she did for me and how she saved my case. I would definitely recommend her counsel and would vouch aggressively that her expertise is a natural choice for a quick, reliable and affordable solution for complex immigration issues.

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.
