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!

Green Card I-485 filing for my wife

I met with Sharlene because i needed assistance in filing green card application for my wife. She had lost her status and i was not able to sponsor her because i was not a citizen at that time. Sharlene helped me filing for my citizenship so that i can file for my wife's green card. Once i got the ci...tizenship, with the help of Sharlene, we quickly gathered all the required documents and filed. Sharlene diligently reviewed all the documents before filing and well prepared my wife for interview at the immigration office. She accompanied us at the interview and guided us along the way. Having a knowledgeable immigration attorney like Sharlene was very helpful and saved me a great amount of time and interaction with the USCIS. She is very experienced and courteous. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for experienced legal advice and assistance.
