Excellent lawyer that goes above and beyond

Nancy helped me with my fiancee’s K-1 visa. She is very kind, knowledgeable, patient, and was happy to answer all of our questions throughout the difficult K-1 process. Without her guidance, I don’t think we would have been successful. She was patient with our time difference and answered my question...s immediately no matter the time. She made us feel comfortable and confident about the process and was there every step of the way. Now I have my fiancée in the US with me and if any of my family or friends needed an immigration lawyer, I would recommend Nancy.

F1 visa/ Green Card On Marriage

After wasting so much time in looking for a reliable lawyer, paying too much for consultation without hope on my case. God bless the day I and my wife met NANCY WHITEHEAD she make my 30mins consultation looks like I had my green card already. I came to united state through student visa F1 and I g...ot married to my lovely wife (usc). I was have a financial crisis and I couldn’t go to school. Nancy told us we can apply without me going back to my home country and she made it work in less than 1year everything turn out good for us. I can proudly say I have my 2 years green card now. She did a very good job and put more happiness to my life and family. She is very simple, caring and understanding person. She always tell us what we want to know about our case and she never get tired of my boarding her cos I do alot with calls, emails and messages. Thanks Nancy

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.

Great !!!

I was fortunate to have Nancy to represent my interests as co-operative counsel in an action filed against a top auto manufacturer in Seattle last year. Her skill and intuition proved to be key in an eventual out of court settlement with which I was well compensated. Thank you Nancy and best wishes f...or a great and successful career. Michael
