Help me being Released from Detention
Ms. Maclay assisted for my release at Eloy Detention Center, despite the fact that 2 previous lawyers that I paid $300 each for consultation told me there was no hope for me being released and I was being deported. When I retained Ms Maclay, she researched my case, filled motions in court she was abl...

An Artist of Helpfulness
There is not enough words I can say on how helpful Suzannah Maclay has been. She is extremely knowledgeable in her filed, and makes you feel as you are her only client. She has never failed to disappoint and is on top of everything. Has great communication and has helped me understand the process...
(Thank you, Mo!) It's been my pleasure to help Mo win political asylum in the United States. Mo was pretty anxious when we began, and understandably worried that something would go wrong and that he would be forced to return to Syria and the horrors of Bashar Assad's regime. We spent a lot of time together preparing his case. It has been a real joy to see him get his green card and set up a small, succesful business in Arizona. He and his brother are both small business owners, and we are fortunate to have them here in Arizona.

HIghly recommend for everyone, but specially for GLBT community
Suzannah came recommended to me by an attorney from another state that was working on my case. I wanted an attorney that has experience and knowledge regarding immigration law, however I wanted someone who understood GLBT clientele. I met a few other attorneys prior to seeing her, and honestly none o...
Thank you so much-- it's been my pleasure to know you over these several years, and it was terrific to work with you. LGBT cases, especially those involving transgender issues, sometimes present idiosyncratic challenges, and I enjoyed working on this case quite a bit. This client came to me years ago as an asylee, then got his green card, and recently became a US Citizen. It has been a real joy to see him flourish and succeed in this country, in ways he surely could not have in his home country. Best of luck!

I haired Suzanneh back in 2009 for my husband immigration case. Before i meet Suzanneh i haired a different lawyer to work on my husband case, not only he charged us a lot more money he didn't do anything to help my husband.After doing more search to find a good lawyer someone recommended Suzannah. S...
Roya's husband -- a tailor, musician, and poet---was in Florence detention when I took on the case, and on his way to deportation, due to serious error on the part of his previous attorney. I was able to re-open the case, rectify the prior attorney's error, and get him out of detention. Over the next few years in court, , I stopped the government from stripping him of his Asylee status, argued successfully for a pardon, and got him his green card. It was a terrific result for a really deserving client and his US citizen wife and two grown children ( both Honors students!). Thank you, Roya.

Maryse-- it was my pleasure to help you. I know it's scary to learn that your family member is detained, and I know how hard it is to understand DHS procedures, especially when you are on the other side of the country. Thank you for the kind words, and best wishes to all.
