Helpful, patient and responsive

Lisa helped me file my change of status paperwork. She understood my situation, and was able to offer creative solutions. She was patient in answering my questions, and was very thorough in reviewing my documents to make sure everything was done correctly. Her fees were affordable too. I highly recom...mend her services.

a trusted and profesional law firm!

I am a Chinese woman married an American citizen. Our case was received on Oct 8, 2014, I got my Green card on Feb 5 2015. Only 4 months. And the interview went smoothly too, only 10 minutes. Can you believe? That was great! We got good guided and our documents was prepared very well. I didn't worr...y about my process because every information was given in time and accurately. That left me time and energy to do something else. I really precipitate Lisa's professional job. It was a wise choice finding a lawyer like Lisa to help me with immigration process.

Great Service - Life Saver

We were fortunate to have out of the country neighbors who had used Lisa in the past and they suggested that she was easy to work with, knowledgeable and friendly (they were right).. We were overwhelmed at the immigration process but Lisa helped us feel better immediately. Lisa communicated costs, p...rocesses and timelines very accurately and we couldn't have been in better hands.

Awesome talented Lisa

I got in touch with Lisa in June 2014 as I had to prepare a response to an RFE on my pending I-485 permanent-residency application. Usually, it is not a strenuous task to prepare a response to an RFE if everything is "normal". However, things are not necessarily in one's control and unfortunately, it... was challenging and stressful to prepare the response to my RFE given the situation I was in. I was transitioning jobs and while I was waiting to get an official appointment letter, I had to submit this RFE response. I officially hired Lisa in August 2014 after discussing my case with her in person in her office. We discussed several response strategies to my RFE and other ideas to save my current green-card application and lawful stay in the US. She has profound knowledge on immigration cases, is resourceful and can tap into her network to expedite things, is compassionate and fairly affordable (with respect to her fees). I enjoyed working with her as she has a listening ear and she likes to "really" listen to her clients' inputs. I was never met with rebuffs when I gave her my inputs and she in fact polished a few my of inputs and incorporated those in the final RFE response. I also appreciate the fact that she is responsive and keeps her clients informed on the progress/status of their case. We exchanged several texts and phone calls while preparing the response to my RFE. She, once, even discussed my RFE case with me after office-hours --- this only demonstrates her diligence and sensitivity. Although we discussed several examples similar to my case, she never disclosed any specific details of any of her clients. So, one can be assured of her trustworthy nature. She clearly met one of the mandatory pre-requisites of being a lawyer i.e. maintaining confidentiality. The efficacy of our teamwork (primarily her effort) would be undermined if I don't mention the final outcome ---- my green card was approved recently. So, much thanks to Lisa, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is facing immigration woes. ---- NS
