I have had Christina Galvin do immigration law related work for me several times over the last 4-5 years. She helped me to bring my wife and children from the Dominican Republic, to here in Phila. My wife and stepson both arrived here as permanent residents. She is currently helping my wife through her U.S. citizenship application and interview. I have referred others to Christina who have had good outcomes with their immigration issues. Throughout many difficult and confusing times she has demonstrated a steady, level headed approach, along with timely and professional legal interactions with the powers that be! Ms Galvin is a great communicator as well as being easy to get in touch with. When there are questions or problems that need to be addressed, she can be counted on, to respond quickly and effectively. Christina is also someone who sees her clients as real human beings, just like her, with real feelings and real needs. Although we dont "socialize" outside of the office or court, my wife and I both consider her to be a true friend. I would reccomend her to anyone struggling with an immigration issue. Christina gives her work 100% effort and not surprisingly, gets excellent results!
