About

 Inspired by my personal experience as an immigrant with a working visa, I decided to pursue an immigration law practice to help individuals looking to fulfill their American dreams. I can fully relate to the aspirations of immigrants, as well as the fears and difficulties they experience when adjusting to a new life far away from home and loved ones. Through these perspectives, I I am able to work well with those who seek my professional help and effectively manage their expectations. As my practice developed, I have come to realize the need for U.S. employers to employ foreign talent as a strategy to gain global competitiveness and my firm provides this types of legal service. In addition, I have worked to raise awareness in the area of immigration compliance especially in I-9 employment eligibility verification, which every employer (whether they employ immigrants or Americans only) must comply with, in a non-discriminatory manner. The leadership roles that I have taken from student days to being actively involved today in professional/business activities and community outreach have given me a plethora of wisdom and depth of understanding to be able to provide a well-rounded approach in addressing the needs of clients in the immigration arena.       Lastly, I have a strong commitment to promote consumer protection and fight unauthorized practice of law by actively promoting www.stopnotariofraud.org.

I thought i had a very complicated case. With the help of Atty Madrid, all my worries, fears are gone. She will help you all the way from the beginning to the end. Plus her friendly staff especially Andrew, whom now is an Atty himself. I am now legally living in America. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. Thank you is not enough. God Bless you Atty and more power. 2 thumbs up!

Attorney Mary Carmen together with her team helped us get our green cards. After bad experiences from employer's lawyer, we are grateful that we sought the help of Attorney Carmen to process our immigration applications. She is very approachable and knowledgeable...not to mention that she also has a great team of lawyers, who helped and answered all the questions we had very timely. I highly recommend Attorney Mary Carmen and her team.

Attorney Mary Carmen helped me a lot on those days I needed help regarding my citenship. She is very compassionate that will ease your mind. She is very professional as what the saying goes: you got what you paid for. And most importantly she will not leave you in the air she is always available if you have question. I am now a U.S CITIZEN.

Thank God for lawyers like Atty. Mary Carmen Madrid-Crost who gave great and wonderful counsel for my very difficult immigration case. We went through a lot of challenges but nothing stopped her from achieving our goal. She even drove from Chicago to Southern Illinois (for about 6 hours) just to make sure I have all my documents and immigration forms signed. She keeps me updated with the progress of my case and explains all the angles of the tedious immigration process. I was in the good hands of a very knowledgeable and compassionate lawyer. I can’t thank her enough and my sister’s friend who recommended Marycar to my family. She’s a Godsend ! God bless Marycar !

While going through the ups/down of the tiring employment based immigration process, where employer's attorney was not responding, Mary helped me out of the way from her very personal time even on the weekend. Her timely help in the tiring times is very much appreciated. She not only listens to your questions diligently but do her homework before any meeting and tries to make sure that the process keeps on going without any hurdle.

I contacted Attorney Madrid-Crost and after less then 24 hours she answered my message and called me the following day. She is so caring and very knowledgeable. I explained my situation briefly and she illustrated the possible solutions available for me. Thank you so much for your help and for the kind words.

Mary Carmen -Madrid crost law group is a great Attorney. Without her deft skills, warm style and experienced perspective I couldn't make it. She helped me when I was in a very tough situation. Many thanks to her kindness, knowledge of the law and understanding of people's needs.
