I have to admit that my case was one very challenging and turned difficult during the pandemic. However, Ellen’s knowledge, professionalism, and special attention to prepare the right documentation, assured my family to receive today our Green Cards. Thanks Ellen for you passionate, thoughtful and brilliant work.

My Employer uses the services of Ellen Freeman Immigration Law Group since last 5 years for my H1B, EAD/AP Renewals and Green card applications. She is very thorough with documentation, friendly, always reachable whenever I had any questions and very supportive. I am very impressed with her documentation to support my 485J application while responding to my RFE Respons, which is part of my carrer progression like Developer to Director position to support my application

Ellen is a subject matter expert when it comes to immigration law. She is knowledgeable and an excellent lawyer. I first met Ellen in 2016 through her leadership getting L-1 visas to bring executives at our company to Seattle after a global merger. When the time came that we needed a lawyer for U.S. permanent residency for my husband years later, it was our pleasure to work with Ellen again. Ellen was highly transparent about each step of the process with USCIS, and gives clear, direct guidance. I have been fortunate to work with many good lawyers over the years, and Ellen stands apart in that she is exceptionally concise and accurate with her advice: no emails full of legalese, or questionable billable hours. Ellen delivers efficiently on exactly what she promises, and is also responsive and caring. I recommend her unequivocally, and we will work with her again for any corporate or family-based immigration needs in the future.
