About

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?I don't remember a distinct decision to become a lawyer; rather I felt drawn to the profession.  I applied to law school knowing what kind of lawyer I wanted to be:  a solo.  I left law school knowing what area of law I was destined to practice:  immigration.  All the pieces fell together so naturally, that I can't help but think, "this is what I was meant to do."What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?I owe much of what I know to an excellent immigration practice class I took in law school, a legal internship at Pittsburgh Refugee and Immigrant Assistance Center and a immigration fellowship at the International Institute of the Bay Area.  I was able to learn about immigration by doing immigration work for people who could not afford private attorneys.  After law school I spent a year in private practice doing different types of law.  This time allowed me to see how an office operates, how to handle difficult issues on short notice and prepare me to open my own office.Why immigration?Immigration has always felt so right.  I think it takes my best assets as an attorney and lets me use the skills to help others.  Who can ask more of a profession?  What do you like best about being a lawyer?Meeting interesting people.  Solving legal problems together.  The thrill and joy in receiving an acceptance notice for the green card, citizenship, etc.Personal:I wouldn't be an immigration lawyer if I didn't love different cultures -- so I LOVE to travel.  I tote my camera with me, a good book, and look for the best gluten free restaurants food (I'm gluten intolerant).  I currently reside in Dublin, California, with my husband (a mathematician) and daughter (a precocious preschooler).

Ms. Berry was retained to assist me in filing a fiance visa. Due to her experience, she recognized numerous red flags and that this person was just using me for my money. She advised me to reconsider filing for the visa. Ms. Berry could have just continued with the case but instead refunded me the balance. This is the type of attorney that you can trust to be honest and do the right thing.

I thank Sarah very much in behalf of my parents as well. We had gone through a lot of lawyers, that were only frauds. But finally found not only a good lawyer but a kind and warm heart person. She is very patient and good at what she does. Thank you Sarah from the bottom of our hearts you dont know how thankful we are. Oh! and thank you for being very patient with my dad (Carlos) lol

Sarah Berry is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I can't imagine going through the immigration process without Sarah's help. She was always there for us and helped us through a few rough spots. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone seeking immigration help.

I was searching for a lawyer to assist me in processing my GC through marriage around the dublin-pleasanton CA area and i found Sarah to be the closest to my location plus her fee is very reasonable. She is very knowledgeable, very helpful and just plain awesome to work with every step of the way and we never had any trouble in processing my application because of her guidance and help. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a immigration lawyer.

I wasn't quite sure that I would be able to get the resident status for both my parents but Sarah helped build my confidence and guided me throughout the process. I really appreciate the commitment and dedication she demonstrated in resolving various complications that came up during the course. Her services far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her as an immigration lawyer. Thank you very much Sarah for helping my parents achieve Permanent resident status. -Sonu

I was a client of Sarah Berry when she was a volunteer attorney at the International Institute of the Bay area. I badly needed an immigration lawyer to represent me in a very complex case. Sarah was very approachable, outgoing and was easy to talk to. She and her team took on the case and had done an exceptionally good job working with me to ensure that the process went smoothly. She worked tirelessly compiling all the documents needed to make my case presentable, she never appeared to be tired of me or annoyed by me asking questions even when the questions did not make much sense. I was very impressed with the level of professionalism. Sarah is very detail-oriented and very courteous. She is a person who truly cares and one who is willing to go the extra miles to satisfy her clients. She treated everyone with great respect regardless of their race, gender or social status. Would I recommend Sarah Kay Berry? Most certainly!!
