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 .

My husband and I came across Mariela while researching Immigration attorneys. We had met with at least 3 attorneys before we were came to see Mariela at Ayuda Law Firm. She was very kind and open about the the difficulties that the Immigration process would bring and prepared my husband and I mentall...y to face the challenges together. After our initial consultation, we decided on Mariela right away! She was the first attorney we had met that felt invested in our case and that was passionate about our life goals and dreams. We sensed she was someone we could trust and we weren't wrong! It was the best choice we made!! Mariela and her team, including the amazing Catherine Motolenich Torres worked quickly and efficiently. If you are looking for an honest, hardworking and caring attorney, Mariela is the right choice! She truly cares about her clients and makes necessary accommodations for them. She takes her time to answer every question without make you feel rushed. She is always available, even after our case was successfully approved and wrapped up in so little time. She continues to be a support and guidance as we wait for my husband's green card and SSN. It amazes me that even after her work (the contract) is done, she continues to check-in to make sure we don't have any questions. Mariela is truly an exceptional attorney!! I am so thankful that we came across her, her work ethic is unbelievable and I recommend her 1000%.

I'm Julian's wife Brittney, we've worked closely with Mariela since "2011" during that time Mariela kept us very informed and gave us excellent legal advice to best suit our family. When we hired Mariela we lived in Wyoming and traveled to Colorado a few times for meetings we later moved to Utah and Mariela scheduled regular Skype meetings to keep us connected. This was a very personal, and hard process but working with Mariela made things easier, she was very available and got back to our questions in a timely manner and helped us ease our concerns and fears. As a result of having her as our legal representative my husband has recently returned from Mexico with his citizenship! She helped make our future brighter and kept our family together.
