We had a fantastic experience working with Lee and his paralegal Paola on our marriage-based green card application. From start to finish, Lee was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through every step of the process with clarity and professionalism. He knew exactly what kind of evidence to include and reviewed all of our documents thoroughly, which gave us so much confidence in our application. Both Lee and Paola were also extremely responsive — anytime we had a question or needed help, they were quick to reply and always happy to explain things in detail. They were very flexible with scheduling meetings and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Beyond their professionalism, they were also kind, personable, and truly easy to work with. We’ve already recommended them to our friends and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. We’re so grateful for their support and highly recommend their services to anyone going through the immigration process.
