Professional and Reliable Immigration Lawyer

Vicky assisted me throughout the naturalization process, from preparing and submitting my documents to accompanying me to the citizenship interview. She was highly professional every step of the way, and I strongly recommend her services.

Excellent

Vicky handled a very complex immigration case for my wife and me, achieving an optimal outcome. We’ve since recommended her to multiple friends, with similarly excellent results. Vicky’s detailed knowledge of immigration law is superb, and the professionalism of her and her staff made working with ...her effortless.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

I really appreciated Vicky's work in helping us get a fiancee visa. We had to get a 212 waiver (or 601?) for illegal presence, and it worked very well. Her staff is also excellent. She has been helpful even after our contract was over. I would recommend her to anyone.

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.
