Immigration advice session
The session was efficient, the lawyer was well informed and was honest about this she needed to fact check. I did not feel like she was selling me more time, so all in all I am a very happy customer and will definitely use avvo again in the future if I need to.

Immigration query post DUI
Disna was very through in her advice to me and provided me a detailed letter to support my visa interview post DUI arrest. Her recommendation certainly played a key role since I got my H1B visa stamped without much hassle. I also found her prompt in her response and very case / example based oriented. Overall I think she provided me an excellent advice. Thanks, UJ

Immigration Advice
Although I had very short conversation with Ms.Disna about family immigration I found she was very thorough, informative and helpful. She knew all the relevant laws top of her head. Her answers were very specific and accurate to the point. I would recommend anyone to her as an immigration lawyer.

Excellent Immigration Attorney
I had the privilege of getting advice from Disna Weerasinghe when filing for my mother’s green card. She was very knowledgeable, prompt, professional, and courteous. Without Disna’s advice, obtaining the green card approval in a very short time span would not have been possible (especially with the numerous complications with my mother’s documents). Disna exhibited a calm demeanor throughout the process which put us at ease. We had many questions, and Disna was always willing to listen and respond to us in a timely manner with her vast knowledge base. She guided us through every step meticulously. I would highly recommend Disna’s immigration services. Her ability to navigate the complex maze of immigration with both professionalism and competency makes her an excellent attorney.

Highly Recommend for Immigration Law
We used Disna Weerasinghe's services in applying for our marriage-based greencard. She ensured that our immigration process was seamless, and we received the greencard sooner than we expected, which was a pleasant surprise. She exhibited a thorough knowledge of immigration law, and we felt that we were in very good hands from the beginning till the end. She was very responsive, and was always available to answer any questions we had. She prepared all our documentation in a thorough and diligent manner and this saved us a lot of time and trouble. We were very busy with so many other things going on in our lives while applying for the greencard, and having her help us with the process made our lives so much easier. We would highly recommend Disna Weerasinghe for immigration services. She genuinely cares about her clients, and about the work she does, and does everything she can to ensure that her clients cases succeed.

She's the best immigration lawyer!
I highly recommend Disna to anyone seeking legal help for an immigration matter. Disna assisted us with obtaining a greencard through marriage. She let us know what would be required and what our options were. She kept us informed at every step of the case and went with us to the interview. I found her to be very knowledgeable and her calm demeanor allayed our anxieties about the process. We are very grateful for Disna's assistance in keeping our family together.

Consistent Quality and Reliable Legal Assistance
I enlisted the legal services of Disna M. Weerasinghe to aid in acquiring a visa for temporary employment in the United States. Being a Canadian citizen, I was unsure of the types of visas for which I would qualify, and my employer was not knowledgeable about employing Canadian Citizens. Mrs. Weerasinghe not only researched and found the appropriate visa for which I was qualified, but went above and beyond to ensure that my application was thorough and that I would be knowledgeable enough to answer any and all immigration questions related to my employment and visa status. She has been such a reliable source of information and her work is flawless. Her diligence and ability to think "outside the box" contributes to her unparalleled skills, and makes her very valuable in navigating the complex world of immigration law. I am so impressed with the level of service I received from Mrs. Weerasinghe and have no hesitations in recommending her to anyone in need of an Immigration Attorney.

Temporary Green Card Application Process
Disna helped my husband and me apply for his temporary Green Card about a year and a half ago. She far exceeded our expectations with her thoroughness, attention to detail, and flexibility. She was not only impeccably professional, but kind and warm, as well, as she helped us navigate the maze of DHS. We can't say enough good things about her, and we've recommended her to other friends in our same situation.
