Very Pleased

We contacted Shelley with what other lawyers had deemed a "very difficult case" and were asking so much money for. We had an initial 30 minute phone consultation which ended up being about 45 minutes and a face to face 1 hour consultation that ended up being close to 2 hours. We didn't feel pressured... at all to make a decision but with the information that she gave us, we were confident that she was the best. Her price was very reasonable and she was very lenient with payment terms which we appreciated a lot since I was 9 months pregnant with no income. It took 6 weeks from when she filed our "very difficult case" to having green card in hand. My husband and I are very grateful that Shelley took what would have been a very frustrating process and made it very easy. Our only regret is having wasted time calling other lawyers. Thank you Shelley!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
