My wife and I needed the best of the best to help her navigate the overwhelming path toward receiving her Green Card. Dawn paid attention to us, was always available, and leveraged her extensive legal knowledge to design the best plan possible for our immigration needs; my wife received her Green Card last October!

We can't thank Dawn enough, wish we had started the immigration process with her in the first place. After filing for a status change in 2019 with uscis with a service because we were nervous to invest in a lawyer we waited 5 years with basically no responses after countless requests for information and back and forth. In 2024 we finally received a letter from uscis saying we needed to do a I-601 waiver and it was due in just a few months. I was also due with our baby in just a couple months and our lease had run out and we needed a new place all in the same timeframe. We didn't know what to do, it was so overwhelming but thankfully Dawn was refd to us by another friend she helped and even with the short notice we had and our circumstances she knew just what to do. It is not an easy process but if you follow her instructions and the professionals she recommends then it will be as easy as it can be. We expected to wait another few years to have a response due to provided waiting times with uscis but we just got approved this month! After 6 years, that wait is over! Thank you to Dawn for her priceless help! It can be daunting to commit to a lawyer, we tried other routes but they really don't work, in Dawn's hands you'll be safe, her work speaks for itself.

I highly recommend Legacy Immigration,LLC. Attorney Dawn C. Sequeira Has made my immigration journey smooth and easy, used her services twice and both times it was the most stress free experience I had. I was so confident that she would get it done I just sat back and waited for my approval notices. I will be using her services again in the future, recommended others to her and I hope whoever is looking for help to contact her also.

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Dawn on one of the most complicated legal matters I have encountered, and I can confidently say that she is one of the best attorneys I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Her knowledge is vast, and her approach to handling legal cases is both thorough and empathetic. What truly sets Attorney Dawn apart is her genuine care for her clients. From our first interaction, I felt as though she treated my case as her own, offering thoughtful advice and ensuring that every detail was meticulously addressed.Attorney Dawn is incredibly easy to reach and always makes time to explain the complexities of the legal process in a way that is easy to understand. She is not only a highly skilled professional but also a compassionate individual who listens and provides guidance with the utmost respect and understanding. It’s clear that she values her clients and works diligently to protect their best interests.One of the things I appreciated most was her honesty. This level of transparency and integrity is rare in the legal field, and it made me trust her even more.Having spoken with over 100 lawyers about my case, Attorney Dawn stood out as a true gem. Her guidance was invaluable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to work with. If you are seeking a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring lawyer, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Dawn.

My wife and I got to know Dawn via Google. I got married to my wife who was a non U.S. citizen and we sought Dawn’s legal services. At the outset itself, we knew she was the one for us. We were able to count on her because she was so friendly and very clear in communicating what documents we had to produce . She sent us a map which indicated each step of our document process. Once, we had not sent the exact version of the document she wanted. However, Dawn spotted the issues and foresaw the negative outcome. Then we painstakingly sent the original document instead of only the translation. At times, one might think she is over scrupulous when getting into detail of each document. But lo and behold! her attempt was to save us from future pain so that we wouldn’t have to rummage through papers amidst busy work schedules. The good news is my wife got the conditional social security number and the work permit in three months. It took only 8 months for her to get the permanent residence card and neither did we have an interview. Thank you so much Dawn, we appreciate your great commitment !

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.
