Michele did something that other lawyers wouldn't: she returned my calls. I probably had to call her 10-20 times for my case and she always was either available or called me back within a day or so. She also seemed to care about her work. it wasn't just a day job. Thanks for you help!
Attorney Franchett worked on my investment immigration case. It's a long journey and Attorney Franchett helped me complete this process smoothly. In our first meeting, she explained each stage of the process, and provided guidance, which is very helpful for me. She always responded to my questions promptly. And my file was always reviewed thoroughly before each filing, so it got processed and approved within the expected timeline. During the process, Attorney Franchett has demonstrated her professional knowledge, solid experience as well as great patience. Based on the service I received, I highly recommend Attorney Franchett
