EXCELLENT LAWYER EXCELLENT JOB

Arrived in the United States on B2 visa, converted to E2. Hired, consulted and spoke to a lot of lawyers for conversion from E2 to a Green Card but all of them were non responsive or did not know the procedure. Met Ms. Sharlene Richards and she was the first person who said that this is achievable ...and did wonders with the Case. She got us approved for I 140 and then the I 485. She is a wonderful person at heart, extremely knowledgeable, thorough in her work, always approachable and does a fantastic job. She is an attorney that I would recommend any day and at any time, hands down. Could not find a better one than her not only in the State of Texas but in 5 other States, where we have lived and consulted.

Finally!!!

I’m extremely happy with the results I obtained with Sharlene Richards. This is the first review I have ever written. I really wanted to express my gratitude. I transferred my case from another attorney to Sharlene Richards in 2014. The other attorney wasn’t helpful and didn’t seem to be persistent ...or interested with my immigration case which was quite complicated. Another happy customer referred me to Sharlene Richards. I was very skeptical in the beginning but this feeling soon went away after meeting her. I guess it was a normal feeling after wasting 5 years and money with other attorney and my case was not going anywhere. Anyhow, I’m so glad I made the very important decision to switch lawyers and engage Sharlene. She is very attentive and a great listener. She truly cares about you as an individual, not just a “client”. That was really so important to me. She really went overboard and figured every possible way to gain a positive outcome on my case. After working with her for a short period of time, my self- petition was approved instantly. The following step was to then help me obtain my permanent residence status. During the waiting process, she kept contact with me through phone calls and emails. She was very persistent with communicating with immigration. She would often ask for updates on the status of my case and always copied me (cc) on all her conversations and emails. She’s not only an expert in immigration law, she has great writing and communication skills. It was very easy to communicate with her directly and she always returned my calls. She always made me feel at ease and very comfortable. She is very sympathetic. She is also very reliable and honest. I’m thankful I was referred to Sharlene Richards. I’m 32 years old with a permanent residence card in my hand. I never thought I would get this card. My family and I can now accomplish many goals that were on hold for so many years because of my lack of immigration status. I can now travel without any problems. Thank you Sharlene Richards. You are a blessing to my family and I. I’m ready to explore my new journey, thanks to you. Great job!

Very Good!

I am very pleased with the work Mrs. Richards did for me. My case was very tough and complicated, she worked very hard and pulled it off. She knew what she was doing and now thanks to her I have my green card. I highly recommend her, not only for her hard work but also for her good personality.
