Your friend in immigration law!

We were referred to Cristina by a friend, and we're so glad we got to work with her. She helped us through a marriage-based green card process and made everything less confusing and stressful. She answered our questions (sometimes the same questions multiple times) with clear advice, simply giving us... all of the information to make an informed decision. She even gave us a ride in the rain one day after we stopped by her office to sign some papers! Couldn't be happier with her work or the resulting green card =)

Hello Junaid, Thank you for your kind words. I am happy I was able to assist you during this process. You were both wonderful clients and had thoughtful, detailed questions that helped me with your case. Even during a pandemic, your case was smooth, albeit a bit delayed. I am excited for this next stage for you two!

Very Knowledgeable and Professional Attorney!

I am extremely satisfied with the experience and service provided by Cristina to get my Green Card. It was a very seamless process while working with her. She was very helpful, proactive and hardworking, always replying in a timely manner. She is very well-coordinated and her pointed instructions hel...ped me a lot to prepare the documents for the entire process such as submitting my application, appearing on the GC Interview and She also helped me in other exit/entry related questions which were extremely helpful indeed.  She has extensive experience in immigration law, and I highly recommend her.

Immigration Help was so worth it

I found Cristina online while I was looking for an expert immigration lawyer to take care of my dad’s case which was a quiet complicated and confusing as my dad was an asylee and I wanted to adjust his status as a parent of US citizen. It may look easy the way I say it but there was so much complicat...ion in it. I contacted her office, they started with FREE consultation, answered all of our questions and she was very helpful so I decided to proceed with her due to her knowledge that I felt on our consultation. She was answering me with all the questions I had at ANYTIME. Today my father green card is in the mail as his case been in immigration for over 5 years and Cristina is finally settled it down. I definitely recommend her for anyone that needs help or have any kind of immigration problems. She will help you for sure and will advise you with the right way in honesty.

Great attorney with great service

Cristina worked really hard on our Asylum case and always kept us updated about the status and the next steps of our case. I am usually an email guy because of my tough working schedule and she has always replied to my emails promptly with full of important information. Besides professional work ethi...c, she is also very kind and nice in person, too! Thank you Cristina for your awesome work in our case! Highly recommended for Asylum cases!
