I sought Licelle's assistance in preparing and managing my N-400 application and she was highly efficient, strategic (she knew which items would likely be asked during my interview), and hands-on. She and her colleague, Mampi, kept me regularly informed of the case status, prepped me for the interview, and maintained meticulous records so I felt I was in safe, reliable, and experienced hands.

I would highly recommend Atty. Licelle. She will explain everything in detailed. She's very accommodating that if you have any questions, she'll respond to you quickly and will answer any queries to make sure it was very clear to me.

I would recommend working with Licelle. She was responsive to my questions and worked hard to meet my timeline. I hired her because she was recommended by my friends who held her in high regard and I do not regret it. Her dedication in making sure my case was strong gave us the winning outcome we hoped for: an O-1 visa. I am very happy.

Licelle and the rest of the team are amazing. They did a great job helping me and my wife move through the process effortlessly and with little to no stress. They were able to answer every question quickly and simply. If you have any immigration issues or questions def give them a call.

I am extremely lucky to have been referred to Licelle for my Visa application. Not only is she very professional, reliable and fast, she is also caring and honest which is a rarity. I am sure I wouldn't have gotten my Visa without the help of Cobrador & Associates. Even in these difficult times with immigration in the US, Licelle managed to successfully guide me in the right direction. She was there every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with their services. Would recommend 100%!

Licelle is an amazing lawyer! She helped me get my O-Visa. Licelle is really knowledgeable and experienced and responsive and trustworthy. Applying for O-Visa could be really exhausting and confusing. However, Licelle helped me organized my schedule and my materials very clearly and effectively. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, she always gave me her suggestions or guidance fast and clear. We submitted my application by the end of June 2020 and I got it approved on July 17. I am so grateful and lucky to have Licelle as my immigration lawyer!

We worked with Liz personally on our spouse green card immigration matters. We chose to work with Liz because it was clear from the beginning that she not only cared so much about us, but also she kept up to date on the latest news and updates to immigration policies and changes (and changes are happening frequently!) Also, as we worked with her, she was highly responsive, and our communications were always responded to in a very timely matter and she answered every question we had (even though we probably had way too many questions, she still answered them all patiently). She had great answers to all our questions, and coached us through the whole process, so we knew what to expect at each stage, and how to proceed when rules changed or unexpected things happened. We felt so much more prepared for our interactions with the government and the peace of mind that came from having someone on our side who was an expert but also really had a personal mission to really make a difference with immigration was priceless, and so appreciated! We need more lawyers with heart and passion like Liz in the world!!!

Licelle took on my case after I became very frustrated with the poor communication with my previous attorneys. I am so glad she did! In two weeks, we prepped my entire O1 and communicated 10x more than I had spoken with my previous lawyers in almost 6 months. She called, helped me when I felt lost and confused, guided my case personally and knowledgeably, through some very intricate and tricky processes, stayed in touch constantly and always kept in mind that I am a concerned human being trying to figure out my future, not just a case number. Thanks to Licelle, today I got my O1 approved! Would absolutely recommend.
