Sheila is a top-performing lawyer that I have had opportunity to render immigration related services from past 4 years. I have been impressed with her in-depth knowledge and expertise along with top notch communication skills and professional demeanor. She has a great patience to answer/clarify all possible questions and ensures that the questions are addressed in timely fashion. With her Law firm's service I always feel I have the pertinent information. She has my highest recommendation, and I am happy to refer her.

Sheila is a great lawyer. She helped me with my asylum Case. I thought I had no chance of winning because my case was very complex and I didn't know how the legal system works in America. She was very friendly, efficient and explained things to me in a way I could understand. If it wasn't for her I would be back in my home country facing extreme hardship and persecution. Thank you so much Sheila.

I found Sheila's information from this webpage. And I hired her as my attorney for my green card interview. She is very helpful. First, when she did the consultation for me, she talked for about one hour. In fact, that should have been an half an hour consultation. And she provided a lot of information. When helping us prepare the interview, she carefully went over all my documents. And she told us which forms to fill in etc. She knows all the details. During the interview day, she went to interview place even earlier than us. She is such a hard-working attorney. She can even work on weekends, or at nights. There is rarely such attorney that can do this. She is a wonderful attorney. I strongly recommend Sheila to anyone as an immigration attorney!

I retained Sheila to help me obtain my H1-B work visas and green card since first arriving in the US in 2000. Throughout the whole experience she was very friendly, efficient and extremely responsive to all of my questions and concerns. I secured my green card in 2007 and would highly recommmend anyone seeking to do the same to hire Sheila. She is certainly an excellent ambassador for her profession.
