Fiercely dedicated and cool-headed

Alma handled our marriage case perfectly. We got married shortly after DOMA fell and Alma walked us through our options to file for my husband's permanent residency. She was thorough and thoughtful, filed everything on time, kept us abreast of upcoming dates, proofed our submissions and caught the ty...pos we made, and advocated for us during our interview. We got us exactly what we needed from Alma and now have a secure life together in this country. She not only got the job done, she did it graciously and supportively. I highly recommend working with her!

Best immigration lawyer in Washington.

Alma, has such unique, modern and fresh approach to immigration law, it made my case very smooth. It was a long tedious process and she dealt with it so perfectly well. I'd recommend Alma for any immigration case. She will not only succeed but also she will revive the hope you think you've lost. Her ...professionalism and masterfulness are superior.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
