I really liked the work that was done at Immigrants First. The attorney worked harder than I did on my case. Would like them to continue with the process of my green card. Thanks to them I will be able to bring my daughter beside me from my country. The attorney gave advice on the laws of this country. I will be in contact with them if I ever need immigration advice in the future.

– Winning Asylum, Adjustment of Status and Naturalization Client

Lisa is an amazing lawyer! When I first met her my husband was going through an immigration issue. She was able to meet me late at night, calm me down and say “She’ll handle this.” Because of the court backlog, my husband and I worked with Lisa on her immigration case for five years! My husband was applying for asylum and it was a difficult case, especially because of the immigration crackdown we have been experiencing. I am so happy God was able to put Lisa in our path, because otherwise my husband would have been deported. She is not just a lawyer, she an amazing human being and she takes her cases very seriously. She treats her clients as family -- at least that is way we felt with her!

God bless her always for the amazing job!

Our life Changed for the best and it was because of Lisa’s help with our case!

Thank you, Lisa, God bless you always!

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for serving on the BEACON Board. We are so fortunate to have someone as passionate and dedicated to the immigrants in our community as you are. Thank you for always being willing to present to students on their rights and general immigration process. And, thank you for your guidance on how to handle our role in the current client/respond to one of the church’s concerns. I really appreciate having an immigration expert that I can turn to when I have questions and can help educate the board.

Lisa, I wanted to thank you for all the years my family has known you as our lawyer and friend. I may be subjective, but Lisa, I see you as a Divine Choice for anybody who has you as an immigration attorney because you go beyond the legal case to touch a deep compassion you have for family values. You wear your heart in hand to help vulnerable people like us. You are a voice for the voiceless. From the bottom of my heart I say a big thank you to you and your wonderful staff. I can only imagine your daily routine and that you have more pressing cases than mine but I know you are fighting tooth and nail for me. Thank you!
