Client Testimonials

After my previous attorney failed to get me a successful outcome on my green card application, I thought all was lost. My dreams, my future, my ability to reunite with my family on holidays – it all evaporated into thin air with that denial. Other attorneys told me nothing could be done, but when I met Rosie, I knew right away that she had the skills and knowledge to fight for me. She did it! I am a US citizen today and I can’t thank Rosie enough.

From our first phone call, I knew I was in the hands of an expert who genuinely cared about my immigration journey. Rosie is all the things you'd expect from an incredibly competent attorney--deeply knowledgeable, attentive to the details, quick, responsive, really good at explaining legal processes in ways I could easily understand, and up-to-date with immigration trends and timelines in the US. Today I am living my dreams as a US citizen, largely thanks to Rosie.

I went through domestic abuse and sexual assault, and Rosie helped me to overcome the struggles and hardships I’ve gone through in life. She wanted the best for me and is someone who will fight for her client. I am now able to walk free without any fear of my past experiences thanks to her.

Living in this country with the fear of what may happen to me was so stressful. I worried constantly about being deported, separated from my children, returned to the life of violence and poverty that I left when I came to the USA. Every day I carried that fear. I eventually decided to find somewhere to turn for help. I never could have imagined I’d be able to find such a smart, excellent attorney. Rosie knew how to explain the complex legal processes of the USA to me in a way that I could understand them easily. Today, I am a Permanent Resident and I can live my life in peace and full of hope.
