DACA

Represented me to file my paperwork for DACA and Ms. Cortez offered me excellent service and was very helpful with the process. I will definitely hire her again in the future and recommend her. Her potential shows by the positive outcome of my case

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Crystal got me custody of my kids and fought for what I deserved.

I am a hard working dad and my wife decided to file for divorce. It came as a shock to me because we just had our first baby only a few months ago and I thought things were just fine. I came home one day to find my daughter, my furniture and my wife gone. I know that sounds just like a country son...g, but it did happen. I got served with divorce papers a month later and she wanted custody of our daughter. I was so upset because all my buddies were telling me that I would just get every other weekend. I found out she moved in with some "friend" and had all of our things there. She even drained our bank account. Things were so unfair. I found Crystal on the internet when I searched for a divorce lawyer in Cartersville and when I met her, she was understanding as she listed to me. She told me that I didn't just have to settle for every other weekend and gave me a bunch of information that made me feel like I didn't just have to let all this happen to me. She fought for me and now I have custody of my daughter and we are doing fine. I got money back and the house. I am writing this review because Crystal was there for me. She didn't drag out my case and she answered all my calls. I really didn't want to have to hire a lawyer, but I swear, calling her was the best thing I ever did. Thank you Crystal.

Calm and informative

Crystal was calm and collective when we met. My fiancé and I met with her to discuss options to help her stay in the U.S. We had lots of questions for her and she took her time to answer everything we needed and even offered to let us send her any follow up questions we might have. We will be back to... have her help us with our case once we decide which option we want to take. Thank you Crystal again for your information. You made everything sound very easy to understand.

Resourceful, thorough, and honest

Crystal was very detailed and knew the answers to our questions. My father wanted to sponsor his son from China. She was able to break down the options available, the steps to each process and the length of time to be expected. If she did not immediately know the answer to something, she was honest b...ut followed up after she did the research. She was professional and courteous. I would definitely seek her legal advice on immigration in the future.

  • 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.
