Laurel has been handling our family's waiver applications (for me & my parents). She's very responsive to our emails & gives clear guidance on the steps we need to prepare. At the beginning of our case, she provided an honest review of our chance & thankfully we were able to get waiver approvals. Our family's case is quite complicated and we're glad to meet Laurel as our attorney. She is very knowledgeable & always ready to answer our questions & concerns. Also, looking at our waiver supports, we could see how much she prepared for each application. Our family is very satisfied with the services. We greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much for all your help, Laurel!! :)

We hired Laurel Scott after speaking with various lawyers who told us we could not do much or that it was too risky to try to leave the country to adjust status. Long story short, Laurel got us a green card within ten months. She is straight forward, confident, and does not beat around the bush. While she may cost more than other lawyers, it’s is well worth someone so experienced. She knows exactly what she is doing, and in stressful immigration situations, it is important to have someone like this. Thank you Laurel!

Laurel approved a waiver case for my husband and I that 3 other Attorneys failed to approve. Don’t waste your time and money on other attorneys. Hire Laurel and you will not be disappointed.

I am an American whose nightmare began in 2006. Long story short, my family was facing a lifetime of being kept apart due to a tangled legal mess resulting from an innocent mistake...my fiancé used the wrong type of visa to enter the country. We honestly thought we were doing everything correctly and I was left in shock and bewilderment at the sudden and horrific consequences. In my confusion and not knowing where to turn, I initially hired a general immigration attorney who filed my hardship waiver and assured me that everything would be resolved without issue--we just had to be patient and wait 12-18 months for the process to play out. WRONG! The waiver was denied and I was left more confused and desperate than ever. My circumstances seemed hopeless - it was as though I was merely banging my head against a solid brick wall. I decided my only recourse was to try again and file another hardship waiver. I read up on the internet and learned there are attorneys who specialize in different areas of immigration law. This was a revelation to me. In retrospect, I realized I had made a mistake in hiring the first attorney. It was as if I had gone to a general practitioner for a serious cardiac problem instead of to a heart specialist. I feverishly researched immigration specialists and read message board after message board in which people talked about their legal issues. Sometimes, people would cite who they used as their attorney. For stories that had a happy ending, I began to notice a pattern-- a handful of attorney names popped up who seemed to be more successful than others. I focused my research on this group and decided that Laurel Scott was my choice. I contacted her office and got the ball rolling. I immediately noticed a marked difference in the way my case was handled in contrast to my experience with the first attorney. I can tell you she is all business and I personally liked that. Professionalism is the word I would use to describe her style. I immediately had the sense I was in good hands and this provided me with a much needed ray of hope on the heels of my first unsuccessful waiver. Ms. Scott diagnosed my legal issue and prescribed a list of documents I needed to submit to her office. I dutifully carried out whatever directions she gave me and the rest is history. I cannot tell you the overpowering sense of relief and joy I felt when I was overseas and opened my in-box in August of 2009 to reveal her email with the subject line "YOU'RE APPROVED!!!" In fact, I fell to my knees and wept like a baby. My nightmare was finally over. All of that was 9 years ago. From time to time, I think about how fortunate I was to come across Ms. Scott's name. I recommend her without hesitation to anybody seeking a proven immigration specialist.

If you want and HONEST no BS lawyer, Laurel is it. I’m not just writing this great review because she won my case back in 2012, but because she was honest and straight to the point. She is passionate about her craft and that’s what separates her from all the others. She is worth every penny.

Laurel resolved a stuck and stagnant self filed visa application, got it converted to a faster format (fiancée), got us in and ot of Juarez consulate, even took the time to contact the consulate the same day of our denial (mistake on State dept side) and got everything fixed. our case was impossible without her expert help:)

Back in 2006 I was sure it was it for me. And Laurel was our last hope! My case was a messy nightmare NO ONE could solve. Very long story... But Laurel helped us from A to Z. I was back to USA in 2008 with a Green Card. Now I am a citizen ! Thank Lord for Laurel! God bless her! Thank you soooo much, Laurel!!!

I live in Long Island,N.Y.I am a Mexican immigrant married to an american citizen I have 2 children. After years of doing research and consulting lawyers in this area including NYC, I was disappointed for the lack of knowledge that some immigration lawyers have for the waiver process ,specially 601 and 601-a provisional waiver. I found laurel in the internet a few years back,and in reading her chat is that I became familiar with the terminology of my case.After a big immigration law firm told me that there was nothing they could do for me I finally decided have a consultation with Laurel I was not going to give up my hope that the big immigration law firm was wrong. I thank God I did it, after having the consultation with Laurel she told me what was going on with my case and she gave a time frame , she said 12 to 18 months you will have your green card in your hands.(the other law firm had done the FOIA and FBI fingerprint check for me already, do your homework) If you are planning to hire an immigration lawyer, do yourself a favor have a consultation with her first and then you can go ahead and hired whoever you want, however when you go back to the consular interview believe me you want laurel to be your lawyer because she knows the process so well that it will give you peace of mind. by the way I got my green card and I couldn't be happier. I have never written a review for nobody before in my life.however I feel this is very important. good luck in your immigration journey.

About seven years ago Laurel won a very challenging hardship waiver case for my spouse and I. Her style is unique. No she is not chatty but straight to the point. Listen and do what she tells you and you should be alright. She is passionate and real and no amount of money can pay for a piece of mind not having to worry about whether your spouse will be deported or not.

I hired Laurel back in 2012 regarding my Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). She was refereed to me by my sister. ( Not a client) My sister is always interested on learning about immigration cases and found Laurel online, while reading her comments on her chat. I read about Laurel on her page and saw how many cases she has helped int he past. When I called for an interview I was a little nervous as I did not know what to expect, I live in California and everything was handle thru the database which was more nerve racking not being able to see her personally. After I spoke with her she explained that DACA was new and attorneys out there did not know what to expect. She explained everything with further detail and i was more relaxed. Her associate Lauren (LC) as we called her took over my case, I was scared that she may had not been as good as Laurel, but she did. Laurel informed me that she went over everything before LC filed. That made it more less stressful to me. I got approved about 3 months later. Now I have hired Laurel for my Permanent Residency Status. We are working on that at the moment. Even tho I am not able to meet in person with Laurel I can not say with words enough how much I trust her and her team. Very professional, always responding and on top of the case. I recommend everyone following her on her Facebook, and read more about her cases and what her passion about immigration really means to her. Very educated women, different from other attorneys. She may ask for documentation that you may think what the heck is this going to help with my case, just do as she says. SHE IS THE PROFESSIONAL one, she knows what she is doing. At this moment I am currently waiting patiently while she is working on my case and know this will be a positive result. So yes I do highly recommend her! (ps. she has a great sense of humor) read her FB and blogs!
