Highly recommend Ms. Alicia Armstrong

I was fortunate to find Ms. Alicia Armstrong. After meeting with several immigration attorneys in the area, Ms. Armstrong was the only attorney who provided a positive prompt response to my immigration case right on consultation day. I was impressed by her professionalism and her vast knowledge of... immigration law. I hired Ms. Armstrong. She assisted in writing a strong analysis letter for my employer as I am seeking permanent resident status through my employer. Due to her strong analysis letter and in depth knowledge of immigration law, specially in applying immigration law on very complex cases as my case was, I am now in the process of being sponsored by my employer for permanent residency. If it wasn't for Ms. Armstrong, I would have not been able to be on the path for permanent residency.

Alicia is aces

My wife and I had to deal with an immigration case in order to protect my wife's status. Everything went well because of Alicia's expertise. There's nobody I'd rather have on our side than Alicia, get her if you can.

Forever Grateful

We were one of Alicia's first clients when she opened her own firm. Our case was very unique and had many challenging twists along the way. Alicia dedicated herself to learning all she could about the legal aspects of our situation. Thanks to her well written arguments, dedication, and persistence..., our daughter now has legal status.

Employment Authorization

Alicia helped me with my employment authorization when I was trying to submit my paperwork with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The process was very quick and painless. Thank you, Alicia!

Waiver

She did a spectacular job processing my waiver! Most people who were on my same situation "told me it is impossible" but I took courage and she did patiently! I was all the time worried but she calms down researching the situation and gives you the reliable information you need! I had J1 visa which h...as lots of categories and restrictions that vary from one category to another but, slowly but sure she made this possible for me! I cannot thank her enough! She gives you lots of courage, she is so friendly, and her price is reasonable too!

Immigration lawyer | Dec 23

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I recommend and endorse Alicia Armstrong as your lawyer. She is a member of American Immigration Lawyers Association, which is a telling point because she wants to be in the on-going discussion with other immigration attorneys who want to stay in the loop to advocate for her clients. I witnessed her patience and understanding with clients during her time with Immigrant and Refugee Rights Clinic. Her foundation in the law is precise. Call the Alicia Armstrong Law Office when you need legal services."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse Alicia Armstrong. Alicia interned for me during law school. I was impressed by her discipline, thoroughness and organizational skills. Although not having an immigrant background herself, she is is fully committed to the immigrant cause. She was very kind and patient with my clients. During her internship, she worked under a tremendous amount of pressure. We were working on a difficult deportation case and together we had successfully defended our client. I recommend her without hesitation."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
