Client review
“Sponsored my sister from Ramallah. The process took about four years, which I'm told is actually fast for siblings. My attorney handled all the USCIS correspondence and prepared my sister for her embassy interview. She's here now, living ten minutes away.”

Client review
“Been in the US seventeen years. Finally applied for citizenship. My lawyer caught an issue with how my name was transliterated on different documents. Fixed it before USCIS could use it as a reason to delay. Oath ceremony was last October. Proud moment.”

Client review
“Drunk driver hit me on Route 46. Broke my collarbone. The driver had minimal insurance. My lawyer went after my own underinsured motorist coverage and got me $118,000 total between both policies. I didn't even know I could do that.”
