Brenleigh K. June 12, 2023
Informative, helpful, understanding If you are looking for an immigration lawyer Evita is worth every penny. Evita is so helpful. We were able to stay in contact through text and email, which has been so convenient for me and my husband through my immigration process. Evita helped streamline and organize information and paperwork with us, easing our overall experience from feelings of being overwhelmed when we had previously tried to do it all on our own. We are so grateful for her services, and kind, informative approach. She knows what she is doing, you will be in good hands if you choose her.

Very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Evita was beyond exceptional with her service and very knowledgeable in her field. Anytime I had a question she would always answer in a timely manner. She eased our minds with the worry's that me and my wife were concerned about. Evita is a person who genuinely cares about the people she helps. I would recommend her to anyway with immigration needs.

Professional Experience

Private Practice
- Current
We represent employers in obtaining immigrant and non-immigrant work visas, individuals in obtaining family visas for relatives abroad, and foreign students and trainees in seeking visas to pursue their respective endeavors in the United States. We have been extremely successful in immigration litigation involving adjudication of delayed naturalization and adjustment of status applications in federal courts. In addition, we work closely with foreign nationals facing criminal convictions, to minimize the negative impact of criminal violations on their immigration history. We also represent foreign nationals in the areas of federal income, gift and international taxation at all levels of the Internal Revenue Service review and in the United States Tax Court.
