The best immigration lawyer I could have ever hoped for

I was granted an O1 visa to work in the USA and I wanted to apply for a green card through the EB-1 process. Many lawyers turned me down for the fear of losing the case except for Tess. Tess was absolutely incredible, not only did she not hesitate to pursue an EB-1, she did a fantastic job with m...y application. Having gone through a number of Visa applications, I have seen the work of many others and let me tell you, Tess's work was absolutely superb, I am so impressed with the way the application was prepared and written out. In the end I got my green card in about a year. No problems through out the process. Working with Tess is also a pleasure, she is super attentive and is on top of everything. I'm incredibly grateful for all the work that Tess did for me and my wife. Dealing with immigration can be quite stressful at times and knowing that you have such a resourceful and accomplish professional to rely on definitely makes you sleep better at night. Thank you Tess!

TN APPLICATION

Tess was extremely helpful, detail-oriented, and thorough. Tess completed my very time-sensitive TN application with time to spare and made sure I felt prepared & comfortable before crossing the border to apply. It was a seamless experience and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I will absolutely ...hire Tess again for all my future immigration needs.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
