Immigration for 01 VISA
Every single step of the way was thought out with precision and consideration. Karol and her team were amazing in assisting with my immigration process, cant recommend her enough!
"Karol and I have collaborated to assist overseas companies in setting up their US operations and transferring employees to the US. I rely on her experience and knowledge in helping our clients to understand their options when visiting the US for business or seeking permanent residency. She is able to explain the issues clearly so that those unfamiliar with the system are able to make smart decisions. In addition, I have received very positive feedback from clients who have worked with Karol."
"For business and family based immigration, you can't do better than have Karol Brown as your lawyer. She is incredibly smart and knows the complex area of business and family immigration so well she taught it at the University of Washington School of Law."
"I highly endorse Karol Brown. She is a strong advocate for her clients and respected member of the legal community. She has proven leadership skills and is a frequent speaker at Immigration conferences. Ms. Brown's educational background is stellar and her work in the immigration field is outstanding."
