If you are seeking legal counsel pertaining to immigration, Janell is the attorney for you. She helped my wife through her process of residency. Her team was very helpful. Whenever there was a time of doubt or any question we presented to her office, they would always respond within a great time fram...e. When our appointment for Juarez arrived she quickly arranged my wife's medical appointment, and fingerprint appointment. Even while we were over there she would stay in communication to make sure we were ready and prepared. Once my wife was approved she quickly called my wife and genuinely cared that she was approved I strongly recommend this office, from beginning to end she was honest and clear on the expectations we should have, the length of the process, and made sure we were successful. Thank you Janell for everything!

Professional Immigration Advice

Janell was wonderful, efficient, and uncommonly scrupulous. I found Janell as a resource late in the process of bringing my fiancée to the USA from China to get married and live here. The process was complicated and took a long time. When we thought we were almost there, we got an rfid in reply t...o our adjustment of status application. That’s when I sought professional help. I was referred to Janell and contacted her. She gave me clear advice as to how to respond to the rfid. I drafted my reply and she even looked it over for us. Since it looked good and the case was straight forward, she said to send it in and contact her if any more issues came up. We got our interview a few weeks later and then the approval for the AOS just yesterday, we couldn’t be happier! I only wish we had found her earlier in the process since she clearly could have saved us a lot of time and worry, on retrospect trying to do it ourselves to save a little money cost us much more in the end. Go with a professional to save time and for the peace of mind!

Ms. Freeman and her team were excellent throughout the entire process. My wife and I went to them when we needed help with my immigration and establishing my permanent residency status. They helped us throughout the entire process and kept us updated frequently along the way. With their help I was ab...le to complete the process with ease, which I couldn’t have done without them. I truly appreciate it and would recommend them to anyone

citizenship

For the past 10yrs or so. I was in the process(trying)of figuring out how to become a United States citizen. Jumped through hurdles and went thru different channels trying to get done. I got NOWHERE!!!! So, I was referred to Janell by a friend. Things went great from the initial consultation up to t...he day I was sworn in. Janell showed great compassion and understanding throughout the process. Her e-mails and phone followups made me feel at ease. She answered all the questions I asked. When there was a question she was unsure of. She got back to me promptly when she found the answer. I've always heard of lawyers that do not follow up with clients. She is not one of them. In short, I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in process of obtaining citizenship.
