I’m truly grateful for the help and support I received from this law firm throughout my immigration process. It was a stressful, overwhelming and important time for me, but from the beginning, I felt that I was in good hands. They were patient, responsive, and always took the time to explain things in a way I could understand. Mr. Chris and his legal assistant Mr. Craig were wonderful to work with. I really appreciated how approachable and caring they were, while also being very knowledgeable and professional. Their guidance gave me peace of mind and made the whole process feel less overwhelming. I’m very thankful for everything they did for me and would sincerely recommend this firm to anyone who needs immigration assistance. It made a real difference having people I could trust by my side.

Melissa Green was recommended by a friend for estate planning and I had high hopes and looked forward to becoming a client. She is profesional, excellent technically, and knows her stuff but is slow slow slow. It took about 4 months to get an appointment and about 8 months to complete the work. Surprisingly, it has taken 2 months more after documents were finalized to get a binder with copies of my signed documents that I was told would be provided. I found this timing difficult and it was never clear this process would take up to a year. That is long in my experience. Melissa is an excellent lawyer but if you want to get results sooner I would consider your needs and timing.

Requested a retainer before providing clear strategy or meaningful case assessment. Communication was professional, but overall the engagement felt premature and lacked sufficient clarity on scope and value.

– Outstanding Immigration Support I can’t thank Christopher and his legal assistant Craig enough for their incredible support throughout my immigration journey. From our very first meeting, Christopher was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate what can be a complex and stressful process. His professionalism and deep understanding of immigration law gave me confidence every step of the way. Craig was equally fantastic—always responsive, organized, and compassionate. He kept me updated, answered my questions quickly, and made sure every detail was handled with care. Together, they made a difficult process feel manageable and far less overwhelming. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, my immigration process went smoothly and successfully. I’m incredibly grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend Christopher and Craig to anyone seeking trustworthy, expert help with immigration matters. They truly go above and beyond for their clients!

Chris McNally was fantastic to work with on our complex marine insurance settlement. He was determined and persistent, yet always thoughtful and measured in his approach. Even with all the delays and obstacles, Chris stayed focused and got us to the best resolution possible. Highly recommend! Make this man a partner! & change the hold music :-)

Chris and Craig were kind, knowledgeable, and responsive during our entire immigration process, resulting in as quick and hassle free an experience as was possible. We especially appreciated the detail oriented focus on preparing our case and the time that our advocates spent making sure that our application was accurate and complete. At certain points, we needed extra assistance to apply for travel to family during the GC waiting period, and we received immediate support from Chris, resulting in a happy outcome, and in the interim of our travel, a GC approval, which we feel was due to the careful, thorough preparation of our filed documents. We are truly grateful for the attention and results we received from this legal team.

Condo Association Disputes: When Can You Fight Back Against the Board?

Condo Association Disputes: When Can You Fight Back Against the Board?

by Mark M. Thayer – Every condo owner eventually gets a notice from the board that doesn’t sit right. Maybe it’s a special assessment that seems to have appeared out of nowhere, or a fine for a rule violation nobody remembers agreeing to. The instinct is to assume the board can do whatever it wants because it’s the board. That instinct is wrong more often than owners realize.
