About

Legacy Immigration, L.L.C. was established upon the belief that every hard-working person deserves freedom, the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility for his or her family.Through my experience, I have come to believe that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) handles many individual-based applications on a "case-by-case" basis. No matter how difficult or impossible the case may seem, I firmly believe that if a USCIS officer can stand in my client's proverbial shoes, the adjudicator will be more inclined to approve the case. The secret of the firm's success stems from this belief. I present a client's case in a unique manner (using the client's own "voice") in order to place the adjudicating officer in the client's proverbial shoes. I bolster the filing with a creative legal argument supported by sufficient legal authority.  I take the approach of "humanizing" the application so it is not just another stack of papers for the adjudicator to review. This approach has resulted in several approvals for cases that seemed impossible from the start.  With the client's patience, understanding, and cooperation, we are able to submit a persuasive filing where the favorable factors outweigh the negatives ones, which together result in an approval.I am licensed to practice immigration law before the U.S. Supreme Court.  I am also licensed by the New York State Bar and the District of Columbia.

Legacy Immigration is my home!! I was losing hope in the system and the process. Dawn prepared an unmatched case submitted and sent. The immigration officer said my case was complete and correct. Dawn did an excellent job on my case. You want results, you MUST hire Dawn. She will fight for you at all cost!! I got Dawn after previous attorney did a horrible job on my case. Dawn corrected all the errors and my case was approved!!

We found Dawn through Google search, I came recently to the DMV area and did not know much at the time. 4 years ago, I called her for consultation, she accommodated us over the weekend for an official consultation as my work schedule was hectic. She listened to details and was honest about how complicated my case was, however, she was able to see through the case without providing any false promises. I was on J1 visa, and we needed the waiver before I can apply for green card through marriage. Almost 9 months after the initial submission of documents, we received a request for further evidence. I almost lost hope at the time. I did not have work, or was not able to work due to my status and life got really hard. Dawn was there every step of the way, professionally and with great experience handled the request. Finally I got the approval few months after that!! I was told by other lawyers that this case will never be approved and I should give up! Now 4 years later, I am a green card holder, able to work and have a normal life with my husband and kids. Dawn prepared me and my husband for the interview, made sure all documents are up to date and did not spare any effort to make us feel comfortable through this stressful process. She is not only an excellent lawyer, but a wonderful human being, compassionate, truthful and always available, doesn’t matter how busy she is! Most importantly, excellent communication she always provided assured me that she was on top of everything! Thank you Dawn! You are part of our family now!

Dawn has demonstrated to me that when it comes to "Immigration Law", she definitely knows her stuff. Just reach out to her and you will see for yourself. Dawn is brilliant and is extremely smart so be prepared to "actually" learn something about your case. I really like Dawn just on principals along, well mannered, great communicator, dedicated to our work and very passionate about "actually" helping you rather than to take your money and go ghost on you. Dawn is one of Gods Angles, trust me she has already earned her wings. I wont be surprise if one day she becomes a judge because shes so brilliant and knowledgeable in the area of law.

People say that there is a guardian angel watching over us since birth. Others claim that they are born under a “lucky star”. As someone whom is completely realistic in her expectations, very analytical, and slightly skeptical by nature such statements had no value to me until I met Dawn. When I came across the stellar reputation of her immigration practice - Legacy Immigration, I thought that it all sounded “too good to be true” as I did not believe that there is still a professional out there who cares for her clients more than she cares for herself! Please note that prior to seeking her services, I had already spent tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees while being taken advantage of three different “reputable” lawyers. After employing Dawn’s services and having the pleasure to have her represent me in my quite complex immigration matters, I felt compelled letting the world know what a blessing she has been to me and my family! Dawn is the epitome of what the title of an “immigration lawyer” stands for! She is honest, upfront, transparent, and more importantly she does not waste your time and money as she lets you know immediately if she can help you or not. Dawn is not afraid to seek justice for her clients, she goes that extra mile just to ensure that things get done. Simply put - She’s a doer! Today, I know that I have found my guardian angel! Words cannot express the amount of gratitude and respect I have for Dawn! I will be forever thankful for everything she had done for me and my family!

Dawn, is very thorough in her work. She filed all the paperwork promptly and correctly. Her expertise in immigration law is evident during consultation and filing periods. She gave us the confidence to attend and pass the interview without retaining her. We recommend Dawn to assist in your immigration issue.

I had a complex immigration issue to address and hired Ms. Sequeira so that I could figure out how to proceed. Dawn handled this issue in a very cost effective way and provided me exactly the result I had hoped to achieve. From this experience, I could see that Dawn is an expert in her field and cares greatly about the people she helps. It is clear that she is highly motivated, very professional, and extremely capable.

Dawn was exceptionally responsive and thorough and completed all our forms for USCIS in only one office visit. All updates or clarifications were handled online. She helped us find a physician who could see us immediately at a fraction of the cost of other doctors registered with USCIS,
