I have had the real privilege of working closely with Attorney Marcouiller on a National Ethics Conference and a Publication for the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Since then, I have had occasion to refer clients to her office. Her grasp of Immigration law is tremendous. Her concern for clients provides an example that attorneys should follow, but unfortunately sometimes do not do. She is a friend, but she is also an Immigration lawyer's Immigration lawyer. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a colleague who knows her work and can be trusted to handle your matter exceptionally well.
I endorse this lawyer.

An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community, I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of her clients and getting them the most favorable result possible.

Barb is thorough and careful and also quietly charming. Kindness is not that common amongst lawyers and her kindness helps to get cases completed. Barb is firm when she has to be firm but she knows intuitively when tact will secure a better outcome than confrontation. I would recommend her strongly on any immigration issue.
Attorney Marcouiller provides accurate immigration advice on immigration questions that run the full spectrum of immigration law: employment, removal, family, visa extensions, travel.... If you have an immigration issue then you need an attorney with the answers at her fingertips. Attorney Marcouiller is such an attorney and I endorse her without reservation.
Truly excellent lawyer. Well respected in the legal community.
Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community.
