Excellent Lawyer

It all started in 2019 when we were going through the immigration citizenship process. I live in Alabama and my lawyer here failed to help me and my husband with the process, questions and charged us for all the conversations we had been having on the phone, my husband get mad and said he don’t... want her services no more so I consulted a friend of mine who lives in Seattle and advices us to consult Nancy who by then was her lawyer. Nancy response was excellent and she walked us through all the documents and submitted them within a short time. The first interview come really quick and didn’t work out but she kindly and patiently helped us to do it again , she interview us few days before our second interview and after exactly 30 days I received my two years green card. I would advise whoever looking for a professional immigration lawyer Nancy is number one and I promise you guys you will never regret.

So helpful and kind!

Nancy reviewed our AOS packet before we send it off, and she was thorough and answered all of our questions in detail, making sure we understood. She is very personable and so easy to talk to, while remaining professional getting the job done. I would highly encourage you to reach out if you're in... need of legal advice.

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 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!

Wouldn't work with anyone else!

5 Stars all the way with Nancy. I hired Nancy after an auto accident last year. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and available for me during a somewhat daunting process. Nancy was always more than happy to help and answer never-ending questions and treated me like family. We have since settle...d the case and she made the process seamless and easier than I ever expected. I wouldn't refer anyone else to help with legal issues.
