Ms Mavunkel is the best!!

Hello, Wanted to write a review for Marsha in the hopes that more lucky people get to work with her. Back in 2011 I was fortunate enough to have Ms Mavunkel as my immigration attorney. Since the day I contacted her she has been very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. A great pleasure to work w...ith her and to have her representing me through my permanent resident application process. She was very hands on, docile and aware of the entire process, customizing her legal approach based on my case. With extra consultation meetings beyond the business hours, she made sure that my entire application file was in order and no other forms, supplemental documents were need it. Needless to say, I received my green card in the mail three months from the date I have sent my file for consideration to the USCIS. At this time, 2014 I am in the process of starting my naturalization process and the first person I have contacted was Ms Mavunkel. I can not imagine being represented by somebody else. I have full confidence in her knowledge and her ability to represent my application as best and most professionally possible. I can not recommend her more. She is the best!! Titus

  • 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.
