Professional, Knowledgeable, Compassionate.

In my view, Nancy is not just one of the best immigration lawyers in Seattle, she is by far the very best in this business. Her dedication to representing little people like us is unsurpassed in our region. Whenever the need arises for you to visit her office even in the absence of an appointment, sh...e does her best to accommodate and talk to you with a big smile. Shooting Nancy an email is another area of her vibrant professional qualities; she responds to emailed questions almost instantaneously. She handled my process very meticulously, and the compassion with which she worked with me was emphatically unbelievable. The humanity I experienced at the caring hands of Nancy changed my perspectives on how much good there still is in our world. I will never trade Nancy for any immigration lawyer in our state, and perhaps, in the entire United States of America. May your blessed legal practice continues to blossom decades to come. My heartfelt thanks and appreciations for your selfless and tireless work.

Best of the Best!

Nancy made my U-Visa process so easy and care-free, she's detail oriented and makes sure all deadlines are met. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to work on my case, her years of experience and knowledge in this field really show. You will not regret having her as your attorney!

Excellent Immigration Lawyer.

I hired Nancy to help my fiance get a K1 visa. She was personable, down to earth and very easy to talk to. Nancy was very familiar with the visa process, and did an excellent job of guiding us through the complex paperwork. She was always available to answer my questions and concerns. Her prices are ...competitive with her peers. I high recommend Nancy Whitehead if you are considering applying for a visa.

Nancy goes extra miles!!

I contacted Nancy about an Immigration question. She was prompt in responding and also offering the help I would need. She went through the paperwork and suggested necessary changes for the outcome I wanted. I felt Nancy really cared and was very helpful!!

Best attorney in the field!

I have consulted with Nancy a few times on my k1 fiancée visa, and I got approved. She's very knowledgeable and experienced in the filed. She impressed me not only with the professionalism, but also with the art of communication as an outstanding attorney. Can't thank her enough. ... Highly recommended!
