I am so Glad I found Sylvia. I found her here in avvo.com and after reading the great reviews and actually identifying with one of the people that went through something similar I knew I needed to hire her services as Immigration Lawyer. I was a victim of domestic violence and she made me feel very comfortable in every meeting because she takes the time to explain every detail in a way that made me feel calm despite the situation I was going through. She is very professional and honest, which are things I really look up to when talking to any individual, especially in this situation. I really Thank God every day because I found her, she is definitely the best.

Sylvia has been very helpful and hands-on for my case. As the first-time applicator for my visa type, I have a lot of confusion at the beginning and have no idea how to start preparing. Sylvia explained all the details and possibilities based on my specific background and constantly proposes different methods of gathering useful documents that will help my case. I really appreciate her way of working with individual clients closely and making the application successful. I already and will keep recommending her to all my friends who need a great lawyer!

Sylvia is a caring, conscientious, and smart lawyer, who is deeply knowledgeable about immigration law, and its community of practitioners. Sylvia adeptly dealt with all of my concerns and issues promptly, and in a deeply human way. I recommend Sylvia as an immigration lawyer enthusiastically and without reservation.

We used Sylvia for our petition for legal residence status in the US and even with all of the questions & concerns along the way working with Sylvia made the process so much more enjoyable. I could not have asked for a better lawyer! I would recommend her to anyone, and plan to hire her again in the future.

My husband and I worked with Sylvia in 2015 for my greencard. She gave us clear instructions about what documents we should gather and met with us a few times to review them and do a mock-interview. She also accompanied us to the real interview, which was super helpful because we could tell the interviewer liked and respected her, even though we were too nervous to answer the questions properly. We got an approval notice in a matter of few of days. She was very friendly and and yet professional the whole time and sincerely cared about our case. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer.

I hired Sylvia to represent me during my I-751 immigration interview after coming to meet her for the first time for a consultation. During the consultation, she was patient yet very direct with me as she learned all the details of my somewhat complicated case. I made the decision to hire Sylvia to represent me even though an attorney is not required for the I-751. She didn't pressure me at all to hire her as my attorney which I appreciated. After hiring her she immediately began working on my case and set up a time for me to come back to prep for my interview. She did an excellent job of preparing me for all the possible questions that would be asked in the interview. She gave me some much needed reassurance that she would speak on my behalf as needed. During the interview she was excellent at advocating for me. There was no final decision made by the officer during my interview, but I felt the interview had gone well. After the interview she wrote up a very detailed summary of how the interview transpired and sent it to me which I really appreciated. About a month and a half later she contacted me to let me know I received my green card. I am so grateful for her help throughout the entire process and I would recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney.

I don't know how much more to thank Sylvia for the amazing job she has done. My husband and I were in a huge mess we had hire a notary to help us fill out the application to renew my husbands green card and a year later received a letter from immigration that it was denied because they sent in the information late mined you they had advertisements that they were lawyers and it was all fake. We then went to consult with Sylvia and explain to her the situation, she told us she can help us win this case. She was not lying when she said that she can win this case today is 7/25/2016 almost a year later from the horrible mess and we received a letter that we won the case... My husband is now a resident of the untied states thanx to this amazing woman... I highly recommend her for immigration trust me you will not be disappointed

Sylvia is the most honest and humble lawyer that I know of. Sylvia recently represented my family and I with great success after walking with us through 'our journey' for more than a year. Sylvia took time to know us and showed true commitment to our case. She researched on issues and dedicated a lot of time in preparation for our case. Sylvia's interest in our case and its outcome was genuine throughout and we were not just another client for her. I found it easy working with Sylvia and was at peace during the whole process. Sylvia never at any time put pressure on us. Sylvia is knowledgeable and outstanding at what she does and gave us the best advice as we navigated through court hearings. I call her the humble tiger because she will fight for the best results but through it all, remain as humble as can be.I had no problem trusting her and she respected our opinion. I had no doubt in my mind that no matter what the outcome would be, I had the best lawyer and she gave it her all. I have and continue to highly recommend Sylvia to other people who have a similar need. Sylvia is the best.

I had the pleasure of having Sylvia working on my H-1B from start to finish. She is not only highly skilled but friendly and understanding. My situation involved knowing some knowledge of IT and Sylvia researched and was able to match my degrees with my job description at best. She was truly amazing, not only making the process go smoothly and getting a positive response, but also updating me at every step of the process. It was like having a friend taking care of your visa. I highly recommend Sylvia for any immigration case.
