Attorney Dana did a great job with my case , very profesional , very friendly , and she know her job! , was a real pleasure hired her and her staff
Dana and her staff were very professional in handling our case. They helped us work through the application process as well as the interview at the end with a great prep session. We appreciate all the effort put into our application and would recommend Dana and her team.
My immigration situation had been deemed a lost cause for the past 12 years based on the advice of two immigration attorneys working independently of each other. Out of desperation I reached out to attorney Dana Bucin who reviewed what had been determined to be a hopeless case and she in turn countered everything that I had been previously advised. She was extremely thorough taking her own initiative to write us a brief with all the respective legal points that supported correcting my situation. She at times acted as our therapist when we began to drag our feet in fear especially in this unfriendly Trump administration, as she continued to convince my husband and I on the merits of correcting my immigration status and taking charge of my life. She is a force of nature and held our hand as I anxiously came out of the shadows following her lead during the entire process. With Michael her paralegal, they were available and responsive to all and any questions that we had. Dana is thoroughly knowledgeable of immigration law, not easily cowed and is definitely a great emissary. When we finally had our immigration interview she surprised us even further coming prepared with additional briefs to hand to the officer that put to rest any questions that he or his supervisor might have had. Dana gave me my life back and because of her I realize just how heavy the load had been. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone who has a difficult case….she will make every effort to find the right solution.
From the moment I walked in the door and met with Dana for my consultation I knew she was different from the rest: she had a heart. Immigration matters affect lives and you need someone who truly cares and shows that in their approach to legal representation. Even though we had a “qualified” lawyer prior to my meeting with Dana, I could tell that something was exceptional about her. She walked me through my I-751 process step by step, gave me advice, listened when I had questions and was very responsive to my (impatient) emails hoping to get updates. I can proudly say our application was successfully approved one week after my spouse and I went in for our interview. we could not have done it without Dana’s guidance and the care she took to treat us like we really mattered. No lawyer was so thorough or patient with us - and that’s why we would recommend her to anyone and everyone seeking a competent lawyer.
I hired Dana for an O visa. I had never applied for a visa like this before she took me through all the steps. She is very busy but had a dedicated team to respond to my many queries at all times - including holidays and weekends. She didn't rush me and went through all the documents I submitted carefully and crafted a very thorough petition. Most importantly, she put in clauses that made my life much easier after getting my approval. She thinks many steps ahead and her aim is not to just basic approval but ensure your case shines - she doesn't leave the immigration officer any choice! Unlike other lawyers she doesn't do a copy paste job and actually works for you and your unique case. I was very comfortable and knew i was in good, safe hands.
My girlfriend went trough terrible process of getting fired and waiting for her Green Card. Dana and Michael are such a great and knowledgable people who were always ready to jump in and help! Highly recommended!!!
Dana played an important role in the success of my adjustment of status case. With a few simple questions during our first meeting, she was had a clear understanding of our situation and advised us on the best approach. We also liked how open and honest she was with us throughout the process and took time to address all our concerns. Everything was done right the first time within a short time! Having the prep session with her before our interview definitely put us in a great position. We were thrilled to receive my green card in the mail just a few months after our submission. Thank you, Dana and Michael!
We've worked with several attorneys during our lengthy and difficult immigration process. We were in the process of adjustment of status, when several erroneous decisions were made in our case. Our current attorney at that time, and several others we had spoken with, asked us to pay them hefty fees and do something that would've made the situation worse (we realized that later). Dana was razor sharp in her approach. She clearly explained what was wrong in the case. She wrote a lengthy brief pointing out the mistakes, supported it all by proper statues of law, and also advised us to gather proper evidence. As a result, with Dana's help, we've adjusted our status and received green card in the mail few days ago. Dana is a brilliant immigration lawyer and she will turn your life around!
Dana is a great lawyer. She helped us navigate through several challenges. From start to finish it was a pleasure working with Dana.
