Seattle's Best Immigration Attorney

I know Nancy from last 6 years. She worked on my PR application. Nancy was available through the journey on time with correct Legal Advice. Covid impacted USCIS timelines greatly but Nancy always kept me updated and motivated positively. Service charges are nominal with Nancy, I met more th...an couple of attorneys before her but charges were way higher.

Amazing Lawyer

Nancy is a walking blessing. She is professional, kind and definitely knows what she is talking about. Her experience shined through when my Husband and I needed help with his adjustment of status process. We are very grateful for Nancy. Do not hesitate to work with her as she will amaze you with her... skills. From her customer service to the paper drafting, everything was perfect, she definitely cares about her clients.

Superb and caring Lawyer

My husband and I hired Nancy back in September 2019 to start my green card process (marriage). I was absolutely nervous, as I overstayed my visa, but Nancy already helped me calm down on our first consultation. I talked to other lawyers around Seattle before her and she was the most knowledgeable and... the one who treated me with the most kindness. Another thing I loved about her was that a couple of weeks before my interview she made sure my husband and I were ready for it by having a zoom meeting. I just got my Green Card a month ago and I’m so happy and relieved I chose Nancy. You’ll be in great hands.

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.
