About

Ms. Schneck is an experienced Immigration Attorney. Raised in Muncy, PA, she has a small town ethos which drives her motivation and passion in helping her immigration clients to achieve the American Dream. Having spent time living and studying abroad in Ecuador, Mexico, and Hungary, she has an understanding of the cultural differences and hardships that immigrants uniquely face.    Married to a former immigrant/recently naturalized U.S. citizen, she has personally sat in the position of the family members of her immigration clients. This has shaped her to be the type of honest, hardworking, compassionate Immigration Attorney that you would want to represent you.    Attorney Schneck has been exclusively practicing immigration law in Pittsburgh, PA for seven years and has ten years of experience as a practicing attorney. In addition, she has served as a Pro-Bono Attorney volunteering at the Pittsburgh Refugee Immigrant Assistance Center (PRIAC) located in Pittsburgh, PA, and interned for two judges (Magistradores) in the Mexican State Appellate Court System in both the Civil and Criminal Divisions with the Guanajuato State Supreme Court of Justice, Mexico. Prior to her career in law, Attorney Schneck served as a consultant to the Organization of American States (OAS) in Washington D.C. working with Ambassadors and high-level Diplomats in Latin American politics.    Her mission is to provide affordable representation and personal case handling to cost-conscious clients and businesses. She focuses her practice on representing individuals and businesses in all areas of immigration law. She frequently gives lectures in immigration law and provides advisory services for criminal and general practice attorneys. She also provides representation to some indigent immigrants on a pro-bono basis.

When we started on the journey to get an immigration visa for my wife and her son, we didn't know many of the details, forms, costs and time frame that would be needed. We read many horror stories about others trying to get to the USA. After some research on the internet, we found the perfect company to meet our needs. The law says you have to use an immigration lawyer(s) from the state in which you plan to live. Mark Harley and the Shimmigration Law firm in Pennsylvania fit our needs.From the time all the documents were sent to USCIS till we had our interview and approval took approximately 9 month. Others we talked with, including the doctor appointed by the American consulate, said this was very quick.The Shimmigration team that handled our case was very professional and gave uspersonal,individual attention. living abroad meant many emails, scanned documents and other information needed for our process. They even responded on weekends through their cell phones.Our many questions were answered rapidly and there was little confusion about what was needed. Our hats of to the law firm of Schneck and Harley !!

Attorney Kristen was a great resource to me during my long and difficult immigration proceedings. She provided me with responsive and professional representation and was finally able to get the job done, as I was awarded my green card! Thank you once again Attorney Schneck for all of your help!

I hired Kristen to do a fiance visa case. Her legal fees was by far the most reasonable of all the lawers I compared. I was very impressed by her professionalism. She helped us through the process and was always available to answer all our questions.

I hired Kristen to represent me for my green card and citizenship application through marriage. I found that she was always responsive, answered all my questions, and kept things moving always on time. I really liked the fact that I was able to consult with her initially for free and she was patient throughout the initial consultation. Her fees were very affordable relative to other attorneys and after a very successful green card application, she also represented me in my citizenship application. My family owes Kristen a lot
