EXCELLENT

I met Mariela in 2017 when my life was upside down with immigration issues. All effort to resolve it with my precious attorney was not successful. When I met her, everything changed. Today all of my 5kids and myself now have our green card. I sincerely recommend Mariela and her group for all immigrat...ion issues. You will never regret it I promise you. Thanks Mariela, God bless you and your wonderful team!

You’ll receive a dedication you deserve from her.

Mariela handled our NOIR case, a second successful case handled by Root Law in over all. She went above and beyond what we expected and gathered all the required evidences with enough supplementary documents and sent it to USCIS which ultimately resulted in with no additional request from the agency ...and case was closed successfully. Due to pandemic and prolonged agency process, our case was delayed but she stayed with it and updated us in timely manner.

Best Lawyer

This letter is to acknowledge Mariela Sagastume for her excellent and professional legal assistance. From the moment we met with Mariela we felt a bright but very professional attitude which helped us relax and focus our energy on the positive aspects of acquiring permanent residency for my wife; Lo...ve, happiness and family. Mariela's attention to detail had us going into our interviews feeling well prepared. She had known the most important areas for us to concentrate on, while at the same time knowing all that necessary information she needed from us. Her sense of excellence gave us great confidence that we were doing the right thing, and going about it in the best way possible. Perhaps the most important thing she gave us was the fact that she cared and was truly invested in our achievement. She communicated with us clearly, looking at us in the eyes, and always listening closely to our thoughts, as well as our hearts. She shared something of herself that is so rare in this day and age, her humanity. We can not thank her enough. By the way, my wife's card arrived in the mail last week. Thank you Mariela, for everything.

Professional, knowledgeable and smart

My wife and I were quite impressed by attorney Mariela Sagastume when we first met her. I discussed my case with her and she gave us a very thorough, professional and detailed advice. We decided to hire her services the same day. She is extremely kind, and has a sound knowledge of immigration issue...s. She explains her clients about the case possibilities in a simple manner. She efficiently represented my case in the court and got me successful in the first hearing. I would strongly recommend her to all those who’re seeking help regarding pending immigration issues.
