Silvia and her team are outstanding immigration lawyers. She managed my parents’ change of immigration status in an extremely professional way and they got their permanent residency in only 10 months. If you are looking for a efficient and reliable immigration law firm, don’t hesitate to contact them.
Mrs Graves is a very professional attorney, she helped me through the whole process of my citizenship, and I highly recommend her.
Very professional since the first contact. She and her team kept me on the loop at all times. their strategy was ver solid and and the execution was by the book. I was stock with my problem for more than 11 months, and got solved in two months. im very pleased with the service and of course the results. well done
Very thorough and very personal service, from the partners to the receptionist. Clear explanations, no mumbo-jumbo, no sense of being short-changed on time under a fixed fee contract. Recommended without any reservations whatsoever. Everybody is in the business to make money, but in my case I strongly felt that everybody at this firm was also really trying hard to help us.
I have known Silvia Graves for ten years. She has been advising me and taking care of my immigration matters for this time. I have never met a more prepared and more competent lawyer than her. This is why I have enthusiastically recommended her to my family and friends. They in turn have gone to see her and have had positive results as well.
Excellent service. No long waiting for the appointment. Excellent advice. Clear answers. Clear expectations to solve issues. Nice office. I highly recommend her.
Hired her services for migratory issues. It has been more than 9 years since process started and communication has been poor to none. Have called her office every other year and response was always to wait. Mean while have seen others in a less favorable situation and with huge families get their residence in short time, couple of years in some cases. I believe we have been tricked to pay for a no service deal. Feel really disappointed on Silvia Graves and team response and attitude.
