Miriam Bustamante Riedmiller

Ms Riedmiller is a kind, knowledgeable professional who is excellent in the immigration area. She worked closely with my family and me--in person, by phone, and by e-mail--and was able to successfully solve a number of problems in my family's case, including medical-related issues. We are very grat...eful to her. She was pro-active in anticipating and overcoming complicated issues and kept us well-informed at all times. As a family member happily said, "Everything she said would happen happened." I am an attorney myself, but, prior to my family's working with her, I had almost no exposure to immigration law. I feel that I have learned a lot from her both professionally and personally.

I worked with Ms. Riedmiller back in 2008 through the Washington Center Program while as an undergrad and still remain in touch with her today as I prepare to take my bar. To this day, she is one of the few immigration attorneys I have grown to know that has a very strong knowledge of complex immigra...tion law issues, with over 15 years of experience. Not only does she know her field of work but she knows how to speak with her clients, making them understand this complex process. She has a great sense of professional responsibility, judgment, and integrity. She truly cares and gives her best to each individual that walks through her door, clients and interns alike. Based on this experience, I referred a family member to approach Ms. Riedmiller concerning her case.

The first couple of lawyers I contacted only talked on the phone whilst the other one was through his website. A friend recommended Miriam and unlike other lawyers where you would feel like you are being interrogated, meeting with Miriam is just like talking to a friend. She made me feel at ease whic...h in turn helped me tell her all the details of my visa issues. She provided all possible options to my needs and kept me updated every step of the way. Not many get the chance to talk to their lawyers, others would spend more time with assistants, paralegals I got to talk with Miriam every time. Now that says a lot about the care she gives her clients.

I send all my foreign-born employees to Ms. Riedmiller for immigration processing. In 10 years of working with her, I have never had any of my employees denied a visa, I have never had their work performance interrupted because of slow or sloppy legal work, and I have never had them ask for a raise ...or a salary advance so they could pay legal her fees. I first met Ms. Riedmiller at a seminar at which she was the featured speaker. She knows her stuff and the results my employees have had and the lack of interruption to my business demonstrate that she's a great lawyer. I highly recommend her.

My experience with Atty. Riedmiller was outstanding. Atty. Riedmiller was exceedingly professional and extraordinarily competent. She exhibited a very strong knowledge of complex immigration law issues, and was masterful in handling my relatives' immigration case. Throughout her representation of ...my relatives, she demonstrated a keen sense of professional responsibility, great judgment, trustworthiness, and integrity. In light of my experience with Atty. Riedmiller, I was surprised to read a couple of unfavorable comments about Atty. Riedmiller on this site. I wonder whether these people had other hidden agenda. I would hope that anyone who reads these comments would not make any negative conclusion about Atty. Riedmiller without investigating the truthfulness of the comments and the credibility of the people opining. Indeed, it is very easy to destroy someone's reputation by manufacturing dubious information and then hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet.
