Mariela Jeannette Sagastume

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.

Mariela Sagastume was the attorney assigned to handle my case and for all that she has done and how she has fought for me, I will forever be grateful. I say this because when I first contacted ILOLA (Immigration Law Offices of Los Angeles) in late 2016, I believed myself to be in dire straits and alr...eady at the losing end of a battle with USCIS concerning my citizenship status... I spoke with Mariela many times and she was always responsive and understanding. When there appeared to be moments I've thought we hit a roadblock or a dead-end, she was always reassuring me, explaining that things weren't quite as they appeared and detailing why we had good reason to remain confident in my case. She proved to be immensely knowledgeable in immigration law. I was reminded time and again how flat-out lucky I was to have her on my side fighting for me. Choosing ILOLA was the best decision I've made in filing my N-600 application for certificate of citizenship. My case was approved this past week and I want to again express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to this successful outcome; Scott McVarish, Gianina Haro, Linda Lee and of course Mariela Sagastume.

Mi familia y yo siempre estaremos agradecidos con la abogada Mariela Sagastume y su equipo de trabajo por todo lo que hicieron por nosotros . Desde el principio mostrarón honestidad y claridad para hablar de mi caso , en todo el proceso siempre estuvieron ahi para responder a cualquier duda que yo... tuviera , Se me preparó antes para la entrevista con el oficial de migración y en tan solo un año pude obtener mi residencia permanente atravez de mi esposa. Cuando Otros abogados no me daban esperanza Mariela y su equipo de trabajo en ILOLA lo hicieron posible ! Dios los bendiga por este gran trabajo que estan haciendo en los Angeles CA .

I hired Mariela basically based on good reviews I had seen about her and she did not disappoint. She helped me out with my work permit and got it all done in a timely manner . Mariela seems to be very experienced with immigration cases and I'm very pleased the way she handled my case. Mariela doesn't... beat around the bushes and conduct herself very professional and direct. I highly recommend her .

We worked with Mariela to bring our nanny with us to the USA for an extended timeframe, and she was extremely supportive with the entire process, ensuring that we had all of our paperwork in order and even holding preparatory phone calls so that our nanny would feel comfortable for the interviews. I... would highly recommend working with her as she also problem-solves to find the best possible solution and gives you options as a client.
