Amazing and the best professional immigratoin lawyer in Seattle!!

I met chelan 4 years ago I was a pro bono case that she handled!! I can never say enough about Chelan she is very professional, very responsible, very responsive very kind and patient. As a pro bono case she handled my case very professional and with priority even though she wasn't getting paid for t...his! she is very supportive, she is the lawyer that would make any case priority regardless if it's simple or complicated case, paid for or pro bono. She also helped my husband finish his paperwork even though my case was finished. I highly recommend Chelan she is one of the best immigration lawyers in the Seattle area! She is an amazing person and lawyer.

Absolutely the Best!

I would not be where I am today without the help of Chelan. Her dedication, knowledge, and passion for her craft was the reason my application to become a permanent resident was approved. She was the Advil to my headache when the immigration process seemed overwhelming. Chelan answered my questions (...about a million of them), helped me understand the process, and broke down everything so I knew exactly what I needed to do. She completed the necessary paperwork, helped retrieve documents, prepared myself and my wife for our interview, and always made time for us. Chelan genuinely cared about my case and was willing to do whatever was needed for my case to be approved. There's really nothing more you could want from an attorney than that.

Good job Ms Chelan!

I have not only but great things to say about her high level of professionalism, and passionate with what Chelan worked in my case. She assisted me with my immigration mater, which was a very complicated case. Even, when I had not hope, she remained very positive next to me. As a resu...lt of her hard work, not only I got my residency in this country and I’m able to enjoying the privileges of being part of this society, but also she never asked me for me money in return. I have nothing else to say besides that I will always be very thankful this strong woman that knows exactly what to do.

Directions and recommendations concerning our immigration case.

Upon consulting this attorney, concerning present and future aspects of the immigration case of our family member, Chelan was very generous with her time, very specific as to the timing and nature of what we had to do to be successful, encouraging in every way, patient in explaining complex details o...f the case, and readily available for our questions. I would recommend this person without reservation.
