Well let me start by saying that working with Cristina Lee in my inmigration case was one of the best things i coul've done since my case was really complicated.I had overstayed (thing that i did not know until inmigration send me letter saying that i was going to get deported if i did not show up for this hearing). I was so worried because i have 3 kids and i had couple of misdeaminors against me so i felt nothing was on my favor. It was a mess and a horrible waiting time in my life. Cristina and her hard work, caring and dedication to my case made it possible for me to stay here with my family. I thank god for giving Cristina wisdom to handle this hard case and giving me favor. I highly reccomend Cristina as an Inmigration attorney, she is very prepared for any case. She will try her best to get your case solve in you favor believe me im one of them. Thank u Cristina, from all of us.. Maria R de V , hayward ca
