I began collaborating with Maria nearly a year ago amidst a complex immigration scenario. Despite being a permanent resident alien in the US for over four decades since age four, and honorably serving in the US Navy, my path to naturalization was fraught with challenges. Maria embraced my case with immediacy, diligently gathering all pertinent immigration records.
Her meticulous examination of the data illuminated a viable path forward. She orchestrated the collection of character endorsements from my network, adeptly managed my application submission, and thoroughly prepared me for the subsequent interview and examination. When USCIS sought additional details, Maria's guidance was instrumental in compiling and submitting the necessary documentation, persisting through multiple follow-ups in the absence of initial responses.
Throughout this journey, Maria's unwavering patience was a beacon during moments of personal frustration. Her team, particularly Isabella, exemplified responsiveness, ensuring I remained informed at every juncture. The culmination of exhaustive research, meticulous application processing, and steadfast support led to a triumphant moment-I proudly took my oath as a US Citizen today!
This milestone was attainable due to Maria and her dedicated team. Their genuine investment in my case was palpable, and their shared joy at the successful outcome was heartwarming. My deepest gratitude to Maria and her exceptional team!

Choosing to go with Maria and Isabella for my case was the best decision I could have ever made. They were extremely responsive, always willing to help, and I never felt judged by her! I had met with a couple other lawyers before her and I never felt as welcome by them as I did with Maria. Maria definitely cares about her clients and I will recommend her to anyone I know!

Maria was clear and precise in supporting myself and my wife's extension of the green card, set the right expectations and gave us detailed information on what to do while we were traveling and awaiting our approval and physical cards to arrive. Before the process, we thought it would be a tedious effort, but Maria made it easy for us, and we got our cards ahead of the expected timelines just in time for some international travels. Highly recommended!

After more than 20 years and with the dream of one day obtaining my residency MARIA made it possible, she made my dream come true in just 3 months, when my process began I did not think it would be so fast. Thank you Maria HAJAR, for making this wait end, it was a great decision to choose you as my lawyer to represent me, despite being pregnant and taking your maternity leave, you answered my questions and made sure that everything was clear to me.
Thank you for working so hard and so quickly on my case. Maria really works to help you and is not like other lawyers who only think about taking your money, she is a person really dedicated to helping and really cares about your needs, in short MARIA HAJAR is the best lawyer and above all a wonderful person.

I have recently became US citizen and I want to thank Maria for all the support and professional guidance through this journey. She took care of everything needed and the whole process went very smoothly and took us less than year to our interview. If you're considering a lawyer to help you with immigration, I highly recommend Maria's services.

I highly recommend this law firm for immigration. Maria helped my parents with a very complicated and highly sensitive adjustment of status case. She was very kind, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable. When it comes to family immigration matters, I was grateful we went with Maria because I've heard so many horror stories of attorneys just taking your money and not working your case! Maria helped us every step of the way and will never be "too busy" for your call or email (unlike other firms who never got back to us). I cannot recommend her enough!

I had requested legal consult from Maria on two occasions. One was regarding an RFE for an immigration case for a relative. She was very patient, read the RFE material well, listened to the case details, explained the process, and took the time to explain the next steps and how best to respond to the RFE. Second time, was for a case for a green card holder who stayed in the US for more than two years because of Covid.
She took the time also to outline what documenation they need to bring and what to do in case questions or concerns come up during the entry. In addition, she followed up and notified us later about changes that happened at the port of entry recently (regarding a signature that might be required for a form). This was very valuable and saved us a lot of anxiety and gave clarity to what the form means and we were prepared ahead of time. I highly recommend her as she is very resposive and knowledgeable.
