Mrs. Goldstein helped me with my green card application. She is extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. She was always available for any questions since day one and assisted me every step of the way. I will definitely come back for assistance in the future

I cant put in words how grateful I am to Ms. Goldstein. She is the best lawyer you could find. Not only knowledgeable and professional but she also provides an excellent service and personal attention. She represented my me and my husband during the long process of getting him a Green Card. She was always on top of things , taking real care about our case and taking the time to really explain every single step of the process and what could we expect at every stage. I will definitely go back to her to apply for citizenship in about a year.

Bohunka Goldstein helped me with my permanent residency application with patience, enthusiasm and diligence. She helped us navigate through a daunting process during COVID, with clarity, honesty and hard work. I felt prepared through out my application period and especially during my interview. I would recommend Bohunka wholeheartedly to all, she is a professional par excellence!

Bohunka is simply the best attorney you will ever find, immigration or otherwise. I approached her pretty late in the game on my I751 case. She took it on with utmost care and diligence. She directed me on the relevant paperwork, reviewed every single page I submitted, and prepped me on the interview process. My case was successful. Above all, she is genuine, kind and not greedy. I was pleasantly surprised when she mailed me a check after my case concluded. Other lawyers will simply find a way to pocket the extra money by billing or over-billing random stuff. I highly recommend Bohunka.

I hired Bohunka to help me file for my citizenship. I had a very complicated immigration jurney that started when I came to the US in 1993. After a lot of time and several lawyers that didn't do anything except take huge ammounts of money and make fake promises I was recommended to go see Bohunka. After the first consultaion I knew she was the one. Very professional, organized, meticulos. Always kept me up to date on how the case was going by emails and phone. Very punctual with all appointments and meetings. From the first consultation to when I actually had to go swear in for my citizenship Bohunka was always there to see things were going smooth. Thank you again.

Ms Goldstein helped us with my family based Green Card (my spouse is a green card holder). It was a successful application and we couldn't have hoped for a faster or smoother process. Bohunka is extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented and very personable. Our application was fairly complicated however she helped us navigate all the challenges thanks to her vast experience with similar cases. We are forever grateful and have highly recommended her to all our friends who need immigration assistance.

Bohunka’s professionalism, kindness and commitment throughout our immigration journey was superlative. I highly, highly recommend her. Not only does she understand the process, paperwork and laws surrounding immigration, she is also able to communicate that knowledge in a simple, direct and meaningful manner. I always knew that our family was in good hands: she was prompt in her correspondence (be it via email or phone), her advice was well considered, action-oriented and clear, and she maintained a genuine rapport with us, as if we were her only clients. She has our complete trust—a true gift when faced with the enormity, uncertainty and overall bureaucracy of US immigration. My family and I are so grateful to her.

We would highly recommend Bohunka Goldstein's immigration services. The way she handled my wife's green card case was reassuring as she simplified this process for us from start to finish. Her professionalism is admirable, she is very punctual, and willingly responsive in her communication. It was a pleasure to have worked with her.

Bonhunka helped my partner and I to obtain her residency. She explained the process and answered any questions we had. She always answered our emails and our calls within reasonable time. She made the process less stressful, she is a very organized person, her knowledge is priceless! I would recommend her without any doubt.

Ms.Goldstein did an excellent job handling our case. She was clear throughout the whole procedure, explaining step by step what to do, how to prepare our documents and was honest with how our case seemed to go. The extraordinary thing about Ms. Goldstein is that she over prepares her clients by asking for more than enough documents to make sure that nothing wrong happens, making us feel more sure that everything will go smoothly. Apart from being professional and coherent, she came early to our appointments, was always on top of new information and news and gently reminded us about any important dates. Moreover, the most important quality she has is that she made us feel comfortable with our procedure, a procedure that was very nerve-wrecking for me. All in all, she was amazing in handling our case, she was clear and honest, and she made us feel safe and comfortable.
