Amanda was the lawyer who managed my application for permanent residence. She was fantastic. Not only does she have a deep understanding of the labyrinthine contradictions of US immigration law, but she has a talent for explaining them to normal people. She understands that you will have options for how you choose to present and file your application, and will guide you towards the choice that is most likely to produce success. She marched me through the process of creating an application like a (very polite) drill sergeant, ensuring that each letter, and each piece of supporting information, was presented in the optimal fashion. I will gladly vouch for both her expertise and her professionalism.
I am a former client of Amanda's and her work is great. She is very patient, understanding and loyal to her clients. She made me feel very comfortable with her working on my case. I also love how Amanda kept me informed about what's going on and all of the progress that has been made in my case. Amanda was great and I will forever be thankful. Amanda is incredibly intelligent and determined. I would recommend her without reservation.
I was very happy with Amanda's service. She was always prompt at answering all my questions, making the entire greencard process very smooth. When there were problems with the application, Amanda promptly dealt with it, smoothing out problems and making the entire process smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone else and I will be calling on Amanda again in a few years when I apply for my citizenship.
I have worked on and off with Amanda for almost ten years now on a range of cases and difficulty levels. When a case stretches her immigration knowledge, it is great to watch her investigate the answers in the law, regulations, guidance, memos, manuals, and by talking with other attorneys who have handled similar cases. Then she assimilates all of the details and elucidates them for you to so that she is providing her clients with the best and clearest interpretation of her research. These are the times she shines the most.
