Five stars Immigration lawyer

After an unsuccessful E2 demand made by a “major Immigration lawyer firm”, we got the reference of Maria J. Marty. From the first discussion up to the 100% successful E2 result, the entire process was a great experience. All discussions were always clear, easy to understand, we always had fast and g...ood answers and this, always with a lot of empathy, a quality that is very rare and found only with the best lawyers. Through the path of this work, we got the feeling that Maria and her colleagues have a much larger experience than the previous “major” immigration firm that we dealt with. We did this work over phone and email, without any face to face meeting, but thanks to the quality of the exchanges, we feel at the end, that we know each other pretty well. We would highly recommend working with Maria.

EXCELLENT Immigration Lawyer

Maria was an excellent choice for us in handling our Green Card immigration case. She is very professional and caring at the sane time. She handled all our detailed questions and kept us fully informed throughout the process. The entire process took less than 5 months. I would definitely recommend Ma...ria to anyone needing a knowledgeable immigration lawyer for a fair rate.

Successful Immigration support over past 6 years

In 2007, Maria supported me skillfully in preparing my green-card application. She immediately spotted where I had missed to submit sufficient evidence and was such able to provide me with a smooth process with the USCIS. She worked efficiently while being warm and present. This year (2013) I applie...d for a "Re-entry permit" for resident aliens and explored a dual citizen-ship option. Within an hour of our initial phone call, she had connected me with sources to all the information I needed. When the biometrics appointment was scheduled AFTER my departure to Europe she calmly helped me identify my priorities (maintenance of green card status) and supported me successfully throughout the stressful process. Through her support I was able to get my biometrics taken immediately and prior to my departure, which was a huge relief. I know Maria to be responsive, on the ball, efficient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Maria to anybody seeking support and clarity in the immigration process maze.

Great Immigration Attorney

Maria has helped me deal with immigration matters, E-visas, for the past 15 years. Her advice has always been spot on. She is always helpful and responsive, and clearly knows her stuff. I would recommend her in a heart beat.
