Alison, thank you so much for being the angel I was looking for. In December 2014 I hired a different attorney and started the process of my citizenship. A few months after my interview I received a letter saying my citizenship was denied. The denial was because an error in one of the documents which the attorney didn’t catch. The attorney told me there was nothing left to be done and all I could do is renew my Green Card. The attorney even said I was never going to be able to be a citizen unless the laws would change.
I was devastated, I cried almost everyday, I couldn’t eat/ sleep. I had one month to figure things out because I was not going to sit down with my arms crossed even though the attorney said I had no chance. I contacted many lawyers/attorneys and to be honest none of them were able to give me a concrete answer. Luckily, I found Alison’s office information randomly searching online. She had great reviews, so I sent her an email. I met her two days after in person and she was indeed the angel I was looking for. She said I had good chances to appeal and become a US citizen if I was able to prove with the correct documents that it was an error.
I hired Alison right away and she started the process of my appeal. She was great at getting back to me via email and phone. She was even working on July 4th to make sure everything was submitted in time since I had little time before the denial decision was final.
I became US citizen a week ago and I couldn’t be happier and more thankful. Thank you very much, Alison. I highly recommend Alison as an attorney especially if you have troubles with your application.

If you're looking for a lawyer who's outstanding, knowledgable with great work ethic, I'd highly recommend Alison. Among many lawyers I had consulted regarding my complicated naturalization case, ONLY Alison told me not to give up, and ONLY Alison went out of her way to find out the correct answer for my case. On top of that, beyond my imagination, she did not ask me to pay for her time & efforts, which you must know is a rare thing in this immigration "world". I am incredibly grateful to Alison for saving my citizenship application. My oath ceremony wouldn't have happened without her help.
Thanks again Alison!

I hired Alison 9 months before my permanent resident card was about to expire to help me become a naturalized citizen. She was great to work with every step of the way from the time we first met to discuss my history in the country through the interview. I would highly recommend hiring Alison if you have any doubts or concerns in applying for citizenship, she was very knowledgable and seemed to have experience with any question I had for her. During the interview at the immigration offices she was able interject on certain areas which I believe had a huge benefit. Overall I give Alison 5 stars!

I hired Alison to process my green card application. She was very through. She asked me a bunch of documents, which took 2 weeks to prepare, but the result was that I had my green card in 3.5 months. I gave her my application on 15th Feb, and had my green card on Jun 7.
She reviewed and made sure all the required documents were there, and correct the first time around. We went with the one step application, so everything was submitted togather.
I know of people who self filed, and took significantly longer to have their applications processed. Her efficiency, thoroughness and professionalism impressed me.
I will use her again if the need arises. I already trust her judgment to ask for referrals for legal matters which she does not deal in.

I was tired of all the misinformation I was getting from different people about immigration rights and such. I went online and told my story. The stars were in my favor. Alison Yew got my message and helped me and my husband of 19 yrs finally get his work permit and we are now working on his green card. Alison is great and very easy to talk to; she is very compassionate and the best Lawyer anyone could ask for. I would give her 10 stars if it was possible. I would recommend her to anyone having problems with immigration. When it was time to go to the Immigration office for our appt, Alison went with us. I felt it was like going into combat and I had the best weapon available in the world. It was Alison Yew. She is the best Lawyer and friend anyone could ask for. Thank You.

I've worked with multiple lawyers in the past for my immigration issue, and none of them compare with the precision, care and competence as Alison. The first lawyer actually caused my family to lose our legal standing in America, giving birth to our immigration issue in the first place. The lawyer I worked with before I met Alison was extremely pessimistic and did not have a heart to help. I paid him for all the work he did on my case, but towards the end of it he refused to turn in the final application, saying he would not a work on a futile case. When I gathered my files and documents from him, there was a copious amount of information that was missing or invalid. My case would have been without a doubt a failure if I had continued with him. My family and I wasted too much time and money on incompetent lawyers that placed us in a worse situation before their 'professional help'.
Thankfully, a mutual friend introduced me to Alison. She was extremely friendly and helpful from the beginning. Despite all of the confusing mis-information on my files due to the previous lawyers, she finished my case within mere weeks. She works extremely quickly so you'd better be prepared to keep up with her speed! She probably would have been done even faster if I hadn't procrastinated haha. She kept me informed of important dates and new laws that pertained to my case even after we were done working together. She really has a heart to help people, whereas so many other lawyers are indifferent to your situation and only seek the compensation we offer. I am extremely grateful to have met her, and would definitely recommend her to anyone!

If we could give Alison 10 Stars, we definitely would! We recommend her to anyone looking for someone who can get the job done.
She is incredibly professional, passionate about what she does, she went the extra mile to make sure everything got done, she got back to us quickly whenever we called or sent her a message, she reminded us of things that we needed to get done, all in all - we don't know what we would have done without her.
As my husband and I were talking about the way Alison works, we said that we haven't seen someone working with such excellence in a long time.

Alison was very helpful and reassuring. She helped me with my naturalization application. She was very patient during whole process of my application. I called her up many times and she would respond promptly even if it was after office hours. She's very professional :)
