DO NOT GO TO PENTLARGE LAW GROUP! I went to pentlarge law group after being rear ended 4 times in between 2004 and 2006.I ended up being awarded a pittance for the lifetime injuries I incurred. I've had 2 spinal surgeries since and will need more in the near future. I've lived in constant pain since the accidents and will have pain for every single day for the rest of my life. Dylan Bucholdt actually said to me when he knew how unhappy I was when we signed final papers as I was leaving, "next time break a bone". NEXT I'M WRITING ADN AND POSTING TO THE NEWS!

At our consultation, she laid out our options and gave detail of what we would need to do for our case. She was not pushy at all for us to hire her but gave us all the details of what she would need to do and costs associated with each step. Upon hiring her, she got right to work on our case and was always available and willing to answer regular questions that came up throughout the process. The steps in our situation followed pretty much exactly the timeframe that she had indicated we could expect. We are very pleased :)

I felt confident working with Lea from the start. We had looked at an online do it yourself immigration service and we had also sought advice with another attorney. Neither one seemed right for us. But when we met Lea she impressed me and my wife from the very start. Her communication skills are excellent. She kept us organized and marched us through the immigration process. It was smooth sailing for us. I cannot praise Lea enough. And I thought her price was fair. So for immigration issues call Lea McDermid.

I found Mrs. McDermid on a list of local attorney's on the internet. She was one of the top rated. I've actually seen 2 attorneys before her but their professionalism was very poor. Which made on the search of another attorney. Mrs. Lea greet me with professionalism and friendly attitude. Her questions regarding my case were on point. My emails and phone calls were always returned on time. I needed a work authorization stamp and she quickly responded to my request and solved the issue. My case was somewhat unique. We filed in a timely manner and no later than a year a half my case was resolved and approved. I highly recommend her services and professionalism.

My husband and I hired Lea Sullivan McDermid to help guide us with the Immigration & Naturalization process. Lea McDermid was thorough and detailed in collecting the data and information required for our case and gave excellent guidance through the interview process. Lea McDermid is professional at all times, has a sound methodical approach and helped support us throughout all stages of the procedure. We give much praise to Lea, who went out of her way to assist us, and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

My marriage to my US wife had deteriorated and I couldn't remain in the marriage any longer. My US wife was willing to stay with me until I got my greencard but I felt if there was another interview, we'd have to lie about our feelings and that would go against our conscience. Plus it would've been obvious to any reviewer that we didn't love each other as husband and wife anymore. So I divorced my wife and tried to get the greencard on my own knowing full well it was a slim chance at best. I decided to get a lawyer to better my chances and picked Lea pretty much at random (I wasn't too hopeful a lawyer would make a difference). She was very honest about my chances but she was determined to do everything possible. Given my slim chance, I didn't expect the level of commitment Lea made. She was thorough with everything, meticulous with the preparation work, her coaching was amazing (sensitive but without holding anything back), her knowledge on the subject matter was superior and she always had a backup plan. As a result, I got inspired myself to make sure I left no stone unturned. Against all odds, I obtained my permanent greencard. As much as I thank my God for the greencard, I know without the strong case Lea made for me and her scrupulous nature, I wouldn't be living and working in the US right now.

We were brand new to H1-B visas when we met Lea. She was very patient and guided us step-by-step through the confusing and intimidating process. Lea was prompt to reply to phone calls and e-mails. Would absolutely recommend her as an immigration attorney.

In my opinion; she had excellent services, very professional and up to date on all the laws and regulations. My case cost me a lot of money with Lea but it was worth it because my situation, thanks to her, is much better.... Also it is Awesome that she is fluent in spanish, I have no complaints.

Lea McDermid was great to work with! My friends told me horror stories about dealing with immigration so I was very nervous. Lea made it so stress free and easy. I have already referred several friends to her. We will definitely use her again in the future.

I went and met with Dylan and Marie at Pentlarge, who were very friendly and listened to my case. I have never been in this kind of position needing an attorney and had no idea how the process worked. They said they could take my case and gave me the paperwork to fill out, Marie came and picked it up at my house and I thought we were on our way. I had realized I made a mistake on one page so I tried calling to check in and see if I needed to fill out a new page or not but never heard back. I left 4 or 5 messages at the office trying to get a hold of either Marie or Dylan and never got a phone call back after almost two months. I got a call a few days ago from my insurance provider who said that no attorneys had contacted them. I'm very disappointed, I know our case wouldn't bring in a lot of money for the law group, but I really wish I could have gotten a phone call back at least explaining that maybe they were too busy or they didn't want to continue with our case. Instead I was just completely ignored even though I was told they'd take the case and they had me sign the contract papers. Marie and Dylan were very polite when I spoke with them, but on a business level, the way I was ignored was not a sign of quality professionalism - all I needed was a 2 or 3 minute phone call.
