Professional, thorough, kind

Carrie was incredible in managing my case for naturalization. Even though I contacted her only days before my interview, she scrambled to get all the information that she needed together, even working through her weekend. She's incredibly thorough and meticulous about making sure all bases are covere...d - I felt completely confident that she was 100% on top of things. She's super patient and took the time to ensure all my questions were answered and that I was very prepared for the interview. She operates very transparently, with honesty and integrity, and also with compassion - I felt so comfortable from the first conversation with her and I could tell immediately that she takes good care of her clients. She's also incredibly responsive and communicative and is all-around a great person to work with. She's not the cheapest immigration lawyer in town, but you'd be hard-pressed to find one who is more qualified, hard-working, and trustworthy - she is 1000% worth every penny. I'd wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for legal help with immigration matters.

Mission Greencard Accomplished

Carrie tremendously helped us with the Greencard process by providing documents with enough preparation time to fill them out and gathering necessary files and documents. She always reminded us of upcoming deadlines in due time and was incredibly thorough. She was immediately available to answer all ...questions regarding the process and established a friendly and supportive working relationship. We felt that Carrie truly cared about us and about her work as immigration lawyer. I am so glad my husband found her, a person and lawyer who can be trusted and relied on. We are very grateful to her for supporting and helping us obtain the Greencard and not for a second doubted her interests or the information she provided. We couldn't have found a better person for this job.

Changed My Life!

Carrie seriously changed my life. I am forever grateful to her. I was very worried to start my naturalization process because I had been denied in the past and was so scared it would happen again. I had done some stupid things in my youth that were a huge deal when it came to getting my naturalizatio...n complete. After reading many reviews about her, I decided to go for it. Oh boy am I glad I did. She was absolutely wonderful! I didn't know it could actually be pleasant to deal with a lawyer, but she has changed my mind. She also worked so hard to research everything about my type of case and be extremely prepared. She worked tirelessly to help me to build the strongest case possible. She prepared me for the interview and took the time to practice with me. She came to the interview with me and was an amazing resource of legal knowledge and moral support. I was still really expecting a denial and thought we would have to dispute the denial and go through the long process of fighting that decision. That didn't happen... I got approved!! I am now a citizen and am so very happy that I get to feel safe about my status in the country that I call home. I get to explore the world with my husband-to-be because Carrie did such a stellar job on my case!! She is AMAZING!!! (also I felt like the price was so worth it and completely reasonable) I don't think I will ever be able to express in words how thankful I am to Carrie.

Fantasy Lawyer!

Carrie possess all of the qualities of a fantasy lawyer: Knowledgeable, passionate, thorough, a great listener, awesome problem-solver, diligent, persistent, responsive, prompt, funny, strong, non-judgmental, and quick. My foreign husband and I approached her with a really complicated green card ...scenario. We had been going around and around with other lawyers, trying to figure out even how to approach the problem. Carrie not only immediately grasped the complexity of the situation, but offered realistic options and an organizational plan for getting the ball rolling. We were extremely impressed with Carrie's breadth of knowledge of immigration law. Her confidence, passion, and caring really make us feel like we are in good hands and have a good chance of getting the results we are seeking.

Carrie is a great lawyer!

Working with Carrie has been an amazing journey. I was really impressed after our first meeting when I exposed my case. She needed to do some research before coming up with options to proceed. She said she would e-mail me soon, but I thought it would take her some days. I arrived home and checked my ...e-mail. To my surprise, I had an e-mail from her explaining what my options would be. Such a fast response spoke louder than words so I realized how committed, passionate, hardworking, thorough, responsible and diligent she was. She is a great lawyer with a lot of experience in working with immigration cases. I thought the process would be really long, hard and overwhelming since I had to gather a lot of documents, but she is so detail oriented and organized that I didn’t see the days go by and very soon, the application package was ready to send. It is so easy to work with her through e-mails and phone calls. She is always there to answer questions that arise during the process and also discuss the best options to win the case. Despite the fact that there are a lot terms used by attorneys that sometimes are quite difficult to understand, she always does her best to be as clear as possible as to the terms she uses in such a way that the client understands everything. If you need an attorney for your immigration case, Carrie L. Rosenbaum is undoubtedly the right one. Believe me, you won’t regret it.

I have also seen her speak as a panelist at an AILA conference, which she helped organize and where she served as an editor for the conference handbook. She is an excellent and caring attorney and I hold her in high regard professionally and personally."
