Immigration Law
I strongly recommend Margaret W. Wong & Associates for your immigration application. Ms. Wong first analyzed my case very carefully and suggested that I could obtain a green card rapidly through applying for EB-1A status. She assigned an excellent lawyer, Chela Marquez, and an excellent paralegal, Brittany Castle, to take care of my application. Fortunately, my application was approved by USCIS within three days due to the firm’s hard work. After obtaining our green cards, I found a new job and my family started a new life in the U.S. My American dream could not have come true so rapidly without their assistance.

Client Comments

A strong relationship between a client and their law firm is key to achieving the best possible outcomes. Open communication, trust, and collaboration ensure that attorneys understand each client’s unique goals and needs. Choosing the right firm means finding a team with the experience, knowledge, and dedication to guide you through every stage of the legal process.
Client comments reflect personal opinions and individual experiences. Every case is different, and outcomes depend on specific facts and circumstances. Past results and testimonials do not guarantee similar outcomes in future matters. For personalized legal advice, consult directly with an experienced attorney who can evaluate your specific situation and provide tailored guidance.
