My wife and I worked for her Green Card and first renewal with Maria. She was spot on about everything that was going to happen, what was needed and when we had to have everything submitted. Her staff were great to work with and there was always someone available that could answer our questions when Maria was not. Great attorney and staff overall.

I had worked with Maria Glinsmann on my citizenship case and the time came for my parent to be naturalized. I did not hesitate to contact Maria and her team once again to help with my parent's case. Immediately, I was seen to by her team, specifically Ana, Rodrigo, Juan, and Karla, and together with Maria, put together an application with all the information we provided in a quick turnaround. Their checklists are very thorough and even during COVID, were able to provide online Share file services that ensured a smooth process. Maria is a kind and very thorough lawyer and through her experience, she was able to share words of wisdom and to help navigate us through the process once again. We couldn't have done it without Maria, Ana, Rodrigo, Juan and Karla, and we really are thankful for all they have done! Would recommend them higher than 5 stars if that was possible.

My wife and I will miss Mrs Maria Glinsmann, what a great Lawyer! Maria with her team ( Ana, Rodrigo and Karla}. They represented us in a difficult immigration matter which started back in September 2018. She was very professional and passionate about completing our case assuring us all the way that things were going to be ok. She had a game plan to how to resolve the problem. Anytime, we called Maria and her team about a concerned we had, they were always there, very polite and fast to reply. Our case was APPROVED after 22 months!!!I Thanks Maria for the great work you've done and will highly recommend her to anyone who needs an outstanding lawyer.

I came across Maria and her team on a Avvo.com review site. I read through her about profile and noted that she not only specialized in immigration but complex ones too. The positive reviews were very impressive to read. But what struck me to pick her for my case is her expertise in answering legal questions found in the Maria Glinsmann's Answers section. I was very impressed especially the provisional waiver which is specific to my case. Our meetings in the beginning were aggravating because of the volume of documentation/questions I had to furnish. She made me realize that all of that was for my own benefit. She takes her cases very serious. She's no pushover and whether you like it or not, she'll stop at nothing to get all the information from you. And top of that she and her team are very detailed and organized. In spite of that, working with her was all worth it and the bulk of the work is behind us. Now I can relax and hope that my case will be successful. But I'm confident.

Maria is one of the best immigration attorneys out there! My husband and I were extremely pleased with how professional, knowledgeable, and helpful she is. Maria made the whole process seem effortless although our case was one of the special cases that require additional work. She guided us every step of the way and helped ease our nerves when we had concerns about the process.We recommend this law firm to anyone who wants their green card application process to be quick and smooth!

Maria Glinsmann is a great lawyer to work with! She is knowledgeable, professional, and very patient. We had perfect results due to the preparation she provided us. Maria was very humble in saying that the perfect result we got was due to the simplicity of our case. However, having the right guidance will provide you with the right preparation, thus success. And without Maria's guidance and professionalism, I am sure that we would not be in our situation now. I strongly recommend her to everyone

I wanted an experienced immigration attorney and based on previous reviews I chose Glinsmann. They were professional and thorough throughout the entire process. Not inexpensive but all things considered well worth it.
