Testimonials

Dear Elise:

Words seem inadequate when trying to express my gratitude to you for helping my wife gain legal status in the U.S. At a point when we were beginning to give up hope, your invaluable advice and counsel effectively cut through all the red tape. Throughout the sometimes laborious process, you remained patient, accessible and professional. I've recommended you to all my colleagues who find themselves in a similar situation. No one who goes through this process should do it without the help of an experienced, knowledgeable attorney, such as yourself. You will always have our undying gratitude.

Slainte,

Elise Schwarz served as attorney to my husband and I during our application to secure his United States greencard. We found this petition through marriage to be highly confusing and do not believe we could have been successful in it without the invaluable work put forth by Ms. Schwarz. Her diligence in ensuring we submitted all the correct forms with all the necessary supporting documentation was highly impressive. Her thoroughness in checking that each form was correctly completed before submission ensured that there were no delays in our application. We greatly appreciated her continued updates to us to let us know the status of our application, and her advice and counsel up until our interview date with immigration officials made us feel very much at ease. I have since recommended Ms. Schwarz as legal representation to other friends and family members because I truly was impressed by her work ethic - I have absolutely no hesitation in continuing to do so.

I know my case was a difficult one. I am very grateful that you took a chance on me . . . The possibility of a future is open to me now, thanks to you. I consider myself very lucky to be able to live in this country where I have rights, where I mean something.
