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

Outstanding professional service

Lisa was always available and responsive to our needs. She communicated very clearly the details of how we would proceed through the naturalization process. She outline the expectations of us and what services she would provide. We have been totally satisfied with our experiences. Thank you!

Amazing lawyer

She helped me with my visa, my temporary green card and my permanent green card. She was very effective every time and got the job done in a short time.

Very professional Immigration lawyer!

Lisa and her team helped me to apply for a green card. I got my green card within 10 month. Very professional, knowledgeable, experienced Immigration lawyer with reasonable fees. I am happy with her service for 100%.

knowledgeable, competent, pleasant , effective legal assistance.

Lisa and her staff were right on top of things as we applied for United States citizenship and, with their help and motivation, we got it in time to vote! We comparison shopped and found the fees very reasonable. The experience was completely positive
