A lawyer you can trust

I am so glad I found Carrie! I had a rather complicated case, and Carrie was very thorough in all details from day one. She helped me prepare my case (which went above and beyond), patiently answered all my questions (there's a lot of them), explained the pros and cons of different scenarios, and alw...ays being sincere and honest. I had consulted with two other lawyers and decided to go with Carrie because I knew that I can trust her with my case. Eventually, I successfully became a U.S. citizen. I am grateful for her work - thank you, Carrie!

Professional and personable

We cannot thank Carrie enough! Her advice and guidance has been fantastic throughout the process of obtaining our Green Card. There are so many changes with the law and updates to the process that to navigate without her help would have been impossible. I would not stress enough that if you are looki...ng for an immigration attorney Carrie is superbly attentive, detailed, ethical and supportive, and we would not hesitate to both recommend and retain her services a second time. She guided and prepared us thoroughly from the start and always made us feel at ease from our initial meeting through to the immigration interview.

Fantastic service!

Let me start by saying that my husband and I never worked with a lawyer before (we filed the green card application ourselves) and never expected to need one..... until 2 weeks before the interview when we realized that our application had a technicality that could've turned into a serious issue. Car...rie took our case on a very short notice and worked with us daily (weekends and Thanksgiving holiday included). She helped us correct our prior mistakes and compile the most complete filing possible in record time! Her emails were extremely prompt and thorough. She took the time to explain every single thing to us and answer every possible question (trust me, we had a few!). During our in-person meetings she knew how to put us at ease and prepare us for the interview day in the best possible way (the mock interview that we did with her was unbelievably similar to the actual interview). We highly appreciated her empathy and dedication throughout the whole process. Of course she cannot promise or guarantee the outcome (it would be professionally unethical) but you can be sure that she will do everything possible to build the strongest possible case! Carrie's knowledge and expertise in immigration law would be hard to beat!

great victory!

Carrie won the citizenship case of our son the first tray! It was not an easy case, but because of Carrie’s hard work and commitment, the winning strategy had succeeded. Carrie is a very bright and diligent lawyer. She started the process with careful and intensive analysis of all details. Then she ...adopted an optimal strategy and formulated main arguments. And besides the high professional skills, Carrie has a very nice personality. It was easy to communicate with her. She works via the Internet connection and is available for questions at any time. If you need an immigration attorney, then Carrie is the best choice!

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 trust her judgment implicitly as I have observed her thought process, legal arguments, and research methods, which are superb. 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."
