From one attorney to another, John Parsons is my go-to real estate guy. Practical, smart, a great strategic thinker and a more than fair biller. Highly recommend!

Jon has helped me quickly, and easily resolve two challenges in the past twelve months. He’s great.

I was recommended to Jon by a friend in seek of a lawyer who could help me establish my business partnership. It was very important for me to be represented by someone who understood the tone of terms I was looking to create in the contract. I wanted to be represented well and also keep a peaceful negotiation between my future business partner and I. Jon was amazing in hearing my concerns and providing the right steps, guidance and legal stance for me to move forward confidently and propose my terms for the business partnership. He found a lot of loop holes in our partnership agreement that would have greatly worked against me and was able to provide the solution. He explained to me how everything works so that I could understand for myself and was empowered in my position. I am very grateful for Jon because without him, I would have been committing to an unfavorable situation. With him, I gained confidence and security as a business woman. I will continue to use him in my future endeavors and have been recommending him to friends and family!

I agonized over the decision to hire a new immigration lawyer for my EB-1A green card application after I had obtained a succession of O-1s with my previous lawyer who was competent but had too many plates spinning at once. The decision to hire Maureen was indubitably one of the best life decisions I have made to date. She was incredibly fast and efficient. She made herself available literally 24/7 -- which is the quality that I knew I needed most for my EB-1 case given its acute time sensitivity. Her bedside manner is exemplary, she is nimble and agile, an excellent writer, and she knows every pitfall to avoid and every hoop to jump through. She is tenacious and leaves no stone unturned. I recently recommended Maureen to a British friend in need of immigration advice and told him that Maureen is to US immigration lawyer what Nelson Mandela is to slave emancipation in South Africa. It was only a half joke. I could not recommend Maureen more strongly.

Working with Maureen on my O1 has been great. Very professional, prepared and ready to answer patiently any question. We went through the O1 process with a very positive attitude and she did an amazing job. Communication has been the key, always updating each other very frequently going straight to the point. I would totally recommend Maureen to anybody that needs an immigration attorney.

I am a French composer and Maureen Johnson recently helped me and my sponsor to get my O1B visa so that I can work in the U.S. entertainment industry. I can’t say enough positive things about her and my experience working with her. Maureen was always very responsive to emails and phone calls and helped me through each step of the process. Her work was very thorough and she clearly works very hard and long hours. She is detail-oriented, dedicated and committed to doing a good job. I am grateful for all the work she did for me and appreciated all of her advice and guidance. She is also an amazing writer and the memo she wrote for my visa was beautifully written. I strongly recommend her to any artist or person of "extraordinary ability" who is looking to obtain a visa.

I am a professional actress and singer, based in Los Angeles. Maureen worked on the file for my green card and was an amazing attorney. I have to say what impressed me the most was that she was active, reactive and effective. Anytime I ever had a question, she would quickly answer it and if for any reason she was not able to do so, she would even give me a notice of unavailability so that I would not worry. The file she prepared for my green card was close to perfection. It was a great collaboration. Every step was explained to me very well. Once we were ready to send the file, we were all surprised of how fast I received the final green card! 2 months! I think that our work on the file was so detailed and well explained that it contributed to its quick success. I recommend Maureen to any artist looking to file an EB1A green card petition.

First of all Maureen is extremely gifted with a pen in her fingers!! Great writings. On a technical aspect, her service was absolutely impeccable. Besides, she answers and reacts right away when you need her...always available for her client. Most importantly, you can feel that she really cares, she's walking with you, we would say in french!! Her involvment shows sentivity and a certain dose of empathy. Great lawyer, great person...

It's Thanksgiving! I am more than happy to thank Maureen on this day in a public form for doing a wonderful job on my O1 petition and helping me secure a O1 visa . Else than being super talented, I observed that Maureen was very responsive and caring. I always received proper attention from her and she didn't make any of those lame excuses which we hear all the time from attorney's - Couldn't respond, had been busy with my other cases blah blah... . But off course in this particular category (o1), a person has to be extra ordinary in his field but in the end it boils down to one thing -- how your strengths are presented to the authorities and Maureen very well knows to do it the best way! I think this last statement sums it all. You would be lucky to have Maureen by your side!

I previously had a bad experience with another lawyer who didn't seem to care much about my file and didn't have much knowledge about building the file itself... BUT! WHEN I SWITCHED WITH MAUREEN, IT TURNED ABSOLUTELY GREAT! She's been so responsive, fast, she kept me informed during the whole process, and helped me so much with all these documents (800 pages!!!). She's such a hard worker, and I have no doubt that I got my O1 visa thanks to her. She definitely knows her work and how to make your file stand up. I will absolutely work with Maureen again in the future, and I recommend her to anyone. She is EXTRAORDINARILY BRILLIANT! thank you again Maureen, you're a life changer!!! :)

I do not have the words to express my great appreciation and thanks for the work of Maureen. Maureen filed two appeals for me, both of which were granted by the BIA. The judge in my case wanted to deny me asylum and Maureen kept fighting for me. Eventually, because of her appeals, the BIA told the Judge that she did not have the discretion to deny me asylum. I was happy not just because I won my case but also because I learned from Maureen how much a great lawyer must be determined and engaged professionally in the outcome of their clients’ cases. I learned from Maureen that to be a lawyer also means to provide your clients’ with confidence; to make him or her feel self-assurance, no matter how difficult their case is. These professional strategies help clients to avoid the worst. Without Maureen, I think I would have given up, but she always assured me that things would work out in the end. I learned from her that to be a lawyer does not just mean to care about the lawyer fees, but it also means to find some time in order to meet with your client and listen to what he or she is trying to tell to you. Finally, I learned from Maureen that a great lawyer is not just one who always does his or her job but also is the one who knows how to respect his or her clients. I am sincerely happy to have worked with Maureen. She deserves more than the simple words I have written here. I am proud to say she was my lawyer and I cannot thank her enough.

Maureen is the best lawyer she has help me so much with my case both professionally, and personally. She knows how to help and give help I will recommend her to any law farm.
