Everyone said It’s impossible for 20 years, and Dawn did it successfully within 3 years.My dad’s case was very complicated involving a deportation order. Our family went through many immigration attorneys. No one was ever confident and professional as Dawn. When I emailed Dawn for the first time, she said It’s possible and she wanted meet us at her office. Dawn took her time to listen to our story and explain every possible scenarios to us. Dawn was very honest and eager to help us. After meeting her, we felt so relieved and decided to work with her. We had to go through Motion to reopen, motion to terminate and finally i485 application. Every single step, Dawn was very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She even looked up the civil surgeon and made an appointment for my dad. When we received the request of immigration physical exam, Dawn predicted that my dad probably would get his green card without an interview. And yes, she is a psychic. My dad received his green card two weeks after his physical exam without an interview. We thank God letting us find Dawn.

I was looking for an immigration attorney who came highly recommended by her clients as well as held accolades that showed they were one of the best in their field. After a lot of research, I came across Dawn’s firm which encompassed all of what I was looking for. I was amazed at how many great reviews and success stories she had. After contacting Dawn, and discussing my case with her, I knew immediately I wanted her to represent me. Unlike my previous attorney, she responded promptly and explained the filing process to me to keep me informed and educated. On the day of my naturalization interview, she called me to go over the process and answer any questions I had. This helped calm my nerves and I was able to go to the interview with confidence. Dawn is not only knowledgeable about complex cases, but she shows compassion towards her clients by giving them moral support and encouragement. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone who needs assistance and guidance in their immigration journey.
