I hired this lawyer in 2010 for an immigration matter. I really had no idea what to expect when we started. She was professional and informative when answering our questions. She seemed very educated regarding all aspects of the subject matter. After the initial advisement, we did mostly meet wit...h supportive staff. If there were questions other staffers had trouble with, Ms. Graham stepped in. After 2 years of filing various applications, our petition was approved. We were informed in advance this was about how long approval was expected to take. I was born in the US and maintain US citizenship, but my spouse was seeking family immigration. Like I said, I was initially quite unsure what might be expected of US during this process and what would be expected from the lawyer. She filed all applications for us and was very knowledgeable about telling us what we needed to do, BUT [I feel] this process DID require ALOT of effort on our part. I suppose that's probably to be expected. With these petitions, I have a feeling the more effort the participants put in, the better the outcome. Unless you are already facing deportation, I would recommend this lawyer.
