I was connected with Ms Kaitlyn when I was in dire need for a lawyer for my asylum case. She has been of so much help every step of the way, very responsive to all my concerns. She is diligent in her job and always tries to come up with a possible solution which helps in making the asylum process less stressful than it already is. I can't thank her enough for the sacrifices she has been making for me from the first day right up till this moment. I am definitely going to recommend her to anyone with an asylum or immigration issue.
