Knows what she is doing

We started this process with Sharlene in November 2019. I was on a post OPT status filing for adjustment of status by having my spouse (Permanent Resident) sponsor me. We filed our paper work in December 2019, and I'm happy to say I got my Permanent residence status in May 2021. I imagine it would ha...ve been even faster had Covid not occurred. We met 3 times but communicated constantly via email and phone. She was always quick to respond and had clear informative answers. She prepared us extremely well for the interview and when we filed the original paperwork. She went through everything with a fine comb to ensure accuracy, and reviewed everything alongside us. She helped us when we had to file an address change and she even helped us when the USCIS mistakenly requested evidence for something that didn't apply to us. She always kept clean, organized records to easily retrieve them. Overall, she definitely knows immigration law, and takes her role seriously. I would trust her in the future and will be sure to recommend her to others. You couldn't be in better hands when choosing Sharlene.

HS(May 2021) - Excellent work!

I have never met a more reliable and effective attorney than Sharlene. She is a honest, caring, passionate, hard working, knowledgeable and dependable attorney. I had gone through a real painful experience and she helped me turn things around for myself and gave me the confidence and reduced my anxie...ty. She has given an exceptional and excellent representation and defense with my case. Sharlene was a pleasure to work with from the time of initial consultation until my case got approved and received my green card in the mail. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for supporting me and giving excellent service which I highly recommend her to anyone needing immigration service.

She knew exactly how to fix my situation

Recently, after years of waiting, I have recieved an intention to deny my greencard. It was a terrible blow. Luckily Sharlene knew exactly what to do! She made sure no stone was left unturned when it came to digging up evidence of the legitimacy of my marriage. Yesterday I have recieved the long wai...ted letter of approval! I will not be separated from my family and it is all thanks to Sharlene! I highly recommend her!

Thank you for our new life, Sharlene

Before, I met Sharlene, I was consulted by a few lawyers. For me, mom with 2 kids from another country, all prices, which they mentioned were unaffordable. Some of my friends, gave me Sharlene's phone number and told me about positive experiences with her. Price was really reasonable. Even, ...our case was not the easiest, she helped a lot additionally and all her services were always in a good price. Also, I need to underline, Sharlene is very pleasant, kind , and intelligent. You can share with her and at the same time you will feel safe and protected. Also, as an immigrant, I know, I have a lot of issues with my language, but she helped me with writing letters, so I could Express exactly what I mean. I would strongly recomend Sharlene Richard's as attorney. And one more time, I would love to say thank you for everything what she did for me and for giving my sons a chance for a better life in this country. And what I will do next? I will come to Sharlene's office to help me with paperwork for our Citizenship. I can not Express, how I appreciate what you did for us. You changed our lives!
