Joy has been a pleasure to work with this past year. She knew our situation's process regarding immigration law very thoroughly and communicated every step with us in terms we understood. She is very personable and transparent. We are very grateful to have had her on our side this year and will definitely work with her again in the future.

We hired Joy as soon as we met her. She showed a great deal of attention and care to our case. We needed her services because we didn’t want to deal with paperwork and had no previous knowledge on how to file for a green card. She was amazing at doing everything for us. We just had to give her paperwork and showed up for appointments. She made everything so easy and we were able to be relaxed during the waiting period. I would recommend her to anyone. Her price is reasonable compare to same services from someone else.

Our case was very complicated. We had and attorney prior to Attn. Cahaly who failed to meet the requirements for our situation and her process took 9 months. We meet Attorney Cahaly by share luck. Her confidence in her ability with special cases like ours made us feel comfortable with her. Hatem my husband received his green card in less than 90 days after retaining Attorney Cahaly. I do and will continue to refer couples to her.

I am a client who dealt with Joy, I'm really blessed to find someone as professional as her. she took a good care of my case. I recommend her to any one who is seeking for immigration or want to sponsor his family to US. She always gives clear and professional consultation. Till day, Joy remains my favorite choice when it comes to any legal consultation.

Joy worked with me through my H-1B and my permanent resident applications. She came highly recommended from a dear friend of mine and since the first time we spoke on the phone I knew she was the person who was going to handle my case. She has always been straightforward from day 1 in regards to my case and all my options and she has always kept me in the loop throughout the process. She is extremely knowledgeable and up to date with all the new and upcoming immigration changes. I never met her in person as my case has all been done via phone and emails due to my location in a different State but I never felt my case lacked attention. If I decide to continue and apply for my citizenship in the future I will for sure work with her again. She cared about me and I never felt I was just a client and I believe this is the most important aspect especially in this kind of matters.

As a recent immigrant to the USA, I had tried to legalize my status just as many immigrants tend to do. After hiring several other immigration lawyers and spending thousands of dollars without any results, a family member recommended Attorney Cahaly. When I met with Attorney Cahaly for the first time, I noticed and felt the difference immediately in her level of knowledge, compassion, and most of all her honesty. She put me on a payment plan after I spent most of my savings with other lawyers that never helped me at all. She kept me informed at all times, pushed me when I was late submitting evidence to her for my case, but most of all, she offered me real hope. She won an unwinnable case on my behalf in the immigration court. After the case was won, both the judge and the trial attorney commended her for a job well done in front of me. I have since been strongly recommending Attorney Cahaly to all of my friends and family. Attorney Cahaly is by far the best immigration attorney in the city of Boston, because now, thanks to her efforts, I have become a U. S. Citizen. If you are looking for an honest and hard working immigration attorney, then attorney Cahaly should be you number one & only choice. B. Mohamed 5/5/2015
