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.

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.

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.

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.

Mariela handled our immigration case which had some complicated angles. From the first consultation she left us feeling comfortable with her knowledge of the laws and processes we would have to navigate and was very detail oriented. She always had detailed answers to our questions and even caught s...ome potential issues regarding new rules which had just been made by the government in the weeks prior to filing which could have affected our case. She has lots of personal experience as well with the processes so you'll be in good hands. I would highly recommend her any immigration related cases.
