Margaret Stock does her job in professional way,thank you for everything that you did for me,I know I wasn’t an easy case for you but you did a justice for me!!!
Expectional attorney with great knowledge and experience
I have been to couple of lawyers for consultation before I decided to visit attorney stock for consultation about my asylum case, second day I decided to hire her for my asylum case as she deomostrated professional attitude and showed deep knowledge in the immigration field, but most important she set the expectation right from the beginning. The last was very important factor for my deciding to hire her. Attorney stock and her team handled my case with care and they paid attention to the minor details and helped me through the case preperation. Few months after we filed my case my work transferred me from Anchorage to Houston Texas. When the interview time come 15 months after the filing date, attorney stock flew all the way down to Houston one day before the interview to prepare for my interview, I have to admit it was a very thorough session which helped me a lot during the actual interview in the next day. When we entered the USCIS office, everybody showed respect to her which gave me a lot of confidence, even the immigration officer mentioned that I am lucky to have attorney stock as my lawyer , indeed she ( the officer) was right. The interview went smooth and attorney stock interviend when needed. Yesterday she called me to give me the wonderful news that I have been approved as asylee in the United States and a day after I received the communication from USCIS confirming that. me and my wife were so lucky to have her as our lawyer and I thank her and her responsive team from my heart for the hard and professional work .

Expert, accurate, fast and reliable
With the help of Atty. Stock, I was able to get my green card in just around 4.5 months from the date of filing. Even on a very tight on schedule, all my forms were submitted ahead of time. There was no delay in the processing of my case because all the needed documents were prepared very meticulously and accurately. She is very professional, supportive, patient, attends to all my requests, monitors emails regularly and knows all updates in my case. I am very thankful that Atty. Stock, being a super lawyer, was able to handle my case since her expertise is highly in demand in the market. She is a very expert immigration lawyer. I will surely consider her for any other legal services in the future.

The best attorney that this country has
As a uniformed service member, Margaret helped me with a very complex naturalization application and achieving the desired results. She even went toe to toe with the government and made sure that the arbitrary and capricious policies were set aside, and service members could naturalize.
She is direct, considerate, kind and always result oriented. She is abreast with the latest on any ongoing court case that could help her clients.
I highly recommend her to any service member and their families faced with any immigration issue.
If you are in a complex situation, your search stops here, and good times will begin right after your 1st consultation with her.

Knowledgeable, Excellent Attorney
I am a MAVNI. She helped me get through my complicated case and got me citizenship. She knows every bits and pieces of it. She is hard working and ready to go extra mile like flying hours just to get to my interview. I not only recommend her, but I guarantee once we used her service there is no looking further. After witnessing her work now I believe that a good attorney can change our fate. She changed my life in a way that I never thought was possible.

Outstanding Experience with Attorney Margaret Stock and her staff
Attorney Margaret Stock
was highly recommended and endorsed to us by another immigration lawyer from state of Illinois due to the urgency of my brother’s complicated legal situation and we were assured that she will be the best lawyer, who is very competent and very knowledgeable, in the field of military immigration laws, and one who can help us.
During our initial consultation with her, she already presented to us the “Big picture” of what the process is going to be like, what forms are needed to be prepared and all that. She was very clear and thorough with her explanations.
In less than 24 hours, she communicated to us that she was able to obtain an alien # for my brother concerned in this case.
Already we have seen how professionally competent and diligent she is.
She helped us through every step of the process until the end. For only a period of 2 months, my brother finally got his US citizenship just in time for Veterans Day.
Even with the time difference we have between Alaska and Florida, it is indeed a huge sacrifice for her to get up early for a scheduled USCIS interview for my brother.
We are very thankful and highly appreciative of all that she had done for us and also very thankful for her staff members who helped us in the process.
Attorney Margaret Stock is one of a kind, who goes far and beyond helping others towards their goal.
We highly recommend Attorney Margaret Stock.

Amazing services
My lawyers Reux Stearns and Margaret are exceptionally great at what they do. I was placed in removal proceedings and they reverse that situation for me. it took a lot of hours in preparing my case, interviews etc. They were supportive and was there for me throughout the process, and the good news is "I am still in the USA and I just became a citizen in 09/09/2022". Switching lawyers was the BEST decision i ever made. After going through two lawyers who didn't know how to handle my case, I finally found Margaret and her team. They are second best to NONE. I will forever be grateful. Finally living my American Dream!.

One of the best indicators of a competent and dedicated immigration attorney is their willingness to take on challenging cases
We hired Attorney Stock to help us file an I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, N-400, Application for Naturalization, and other forms. Before meeting Attorney Margaret Stock, my husband and I worked with two prior attorneys. Both attorneys were unable to help us with our case. However, when we met with Attorney Stock, our difficult case did not deter her from helping us. At the time, I was a U.S. citizen and in the military. Our case was difficult because my husband was accused of a false claim to U.S. citizenship. Still, thanks to Attorney Stock's extensive military experience and expertise in immigration and national security laws, we obtained my husband's citizenship. Even after moving out of Alaska, Attorney Stock was still able to help us, and not once did I doubt her ability.

Margret Stock vs lawyers
Denied cases are all alike; every approved case is approved in its own way. I think that all denied cases alike fail because they process only with vague desires. On the other hand, each successful cases succeed in its own way because they process professionally after analyzing their own situation accurately. My case was the one. Margret Stock and I applied for EB2 NIW based on MAVNI, and this rare case was approved. It’s a very difficult case for most lawyers because it required professional legal knowledge, experience, and know-how for military and immigration. Attorney Stock was ready to do and handled every crisis very well. For example, my biggest crisis was Request for Evidence (RFE) for I-140 which required why I am qualified to get the approval. She wrote an excellent letter and resolved it.
At the beginning of this feedback, I adapted “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”, the opening line of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. If you think why some unhappy things happen only to you and believe your situation is so tangled up, contact her. She is the right person to do right things for your case. I would totally recommend her in a heartbeat.
Great job, Margret. You’re the best lawyer!
