Extremely professional

I hired Millie-Ann law firm after consulting many and she is the best. What I like the most is her accountability, timely response and preparing things in timely manner as most immigration matters have race against time. She is simply exemplary. I would highly recommend to anyone as her charges are d...ecently priced compare to other lawyers who know you have a situation and try to capitalize on it. She uses her judgement to prepare the best response possible with limited amount of paper work this is something impressed me the most.

Awesome Lawyer!

I tried to seek some advise on immigration matter, and was amazed on how she responded to my queries. She gave me detailed process, even before making a formal meeting. Cheers to you Millie.

Millie-Ann Sumcad - Review

Millie-Ann was recommended to me by a colleague and I selected her to prepare and file my application for permanent residency on the basis of her responsiveness, knowledge, professionalism, and knack for presenting the facts without sugar-coating them. Prior to contacting Millie-Anne I worked with 1 ...attorney (for my first H1-B application) and interviewed 1 other atorney to represent me in my application for permanent residency. My personal circumstances at the time that my application was prepared meant that my case would take a long time to resolve due to the long wait periods for my country of origin. Millie-Anne clearly explained the stages of the process and always responded to my questions promptly. This was, and continues to be very important to me because the immigration process can seem mysterious and unduly complicated, and applicants can be bombarded with a lot of conflicting information and advice. After my application for permanent residency was approved I had a long wait period for adjustment of status because of my country of origin. Millie-Anne continued to be as responsive and supportive during this time as she was during preparation and submssion of the application. Based on my own personal experience I heartily recommend Millie-Anne Sumcad as an immigration attorney. While Millie-Anne was my primary contact, her partner Michael Schwerin and office staff were equally responsive, supportive, and professional in all our interactions.
