Anamaria was a great help.
I was having a considerable amount of trouble collecting a debt. I was a using a different attorney who was not responding to my requests for information or the status of the collection.
I retained Anamaria and she was able to finally get my file and inform me as how to properly proceed.
I would recommend her highly.
Thank you.

Immigration law can be very confusing and, as a client, Jennifer was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be an overwhelming experience us. Jennifer would 'check in' with us and make sure we knew what was happening at all times. Her legal representation was impeccable!
Hallett Immigration Law Group got back to us quickly on every occasion and made it a seamless operation, especially as we were facing time constraints. I highly recommend this firm.
I have referred many of my friends to this office and they have all had the same brilliant experience! Thank you Jenifer and Team!

Top notch service. Because of unexpected delays due to covid it took me years to get final decision for my case since initial application. So I had to extend my EAD card few times. They have been very professional and helped me file my EAD extensions or answering any RFE in timely manner. The journey wasn't easy and I needed a lot of help from everyone to get through this. Specially Jeniffer is very nice, kind and sweet. She talked to me and helped me understand the situation in time of frustration. Much needed therapy/assurance in this kind of situation which helped me keep moving.
Finally I got my GC this year and my life changed forever. Just think you don't need to go to DMV 8 times to extend your drivers license for the year. How beautiful is that!!! I really appreciate the professionalism and hard work Hallett McCann Law Group do to make our immigrants life better. I will forever be grateful to them. I highly recommend.

With all of the good reviews, I really believed I would be in safe hands during the Medicaid application process for my mother who recently entered a nursing home. In my consult, which cost almost $600, I explained that we qualify to use both the caregiver and disability exemptions. Ms Bennet did not know about the disability exemption, and suggested I use the caregiver one because it would allow the house to be retained. I explained that my understanding of the disability exemption was that it would allow the retention of all assets to remain in the family. She disagreed and stated she prefers the caregiver because she knows how to prove that one. I told her in the consult not to begin work till she verified if I was correct or not, which I absolutely was. Three weeks later I received a statement showing that she had used up my retainer on unnecessary spend down related tasks, and several hours toward the nursing home contract to which she provided two or three lines of advice in an email. When I questioned her bill via email asking to speak about it. She replied saying she would give me two hours of future credit. I questioned her again by dropping off a copy of the bill with notes since she did not give me the courtesy of a phone conversation and I wanted to point out the things in the bill that I felt were not fair. Her response was to quit by email, saying I should not continue questioning her bill, and also was angry because I uploaded “over 500 documents” to her portal… She made a remark about the documents once before, and I didn’t really understand why because she instructed me to upload five years worth of financial records along with many other documents, so I did it right away the first week. It was like she couldn’t handle going through them, or was frustrated by them. Mind you this is three weeks into our contract. She didn’t give me any recourse, she just stated that I should find another attorney and that this firm will no longer represent me. Of course by email, not even a discussion. She did not seem to have much of a conscience about it, and I doubt she lost any sleep over taking my elderly mother’s money from her. And the sad thing about it is not only are we out the money we paid her, we also then had to spend almost two more months finding a new attorney because it takes a while to get a consult scheduled… And every month we fell behind was another $10,000 spent at the nursing home that could’ve been avoided. And of course a whole new retainer with someone else. It was a really cruel and unnecessary thing for her to do this to us. I have no idea if the senior Partners are aware that she did this or not. But it definitely was not right, and I have no idea why she thought we deserved that. I would think twice before using this firm, especially if you have something that the attorney says she does not know about… in my case the disability exemption which is right on the Medicaid website for anyone to read. To have disregarded this information would’ve caused our family to lose significant assets if not used. It was unconscionable and lazy of her to not look into this especially since I spent a good chunk of time making sure that she would during our expensive consult. And If I can read and understand these rules explained right on the Medicaid website, why didn’t this “expert” not know about it or bother to learn, And why was she so willing to ignore her responsibility to look into it, knowing that if she had submitted my application the way she was heading, we would have suffered a significant financial loss. My advice is to careful trusting this firm with your family’s precious resources.

I felt welcomed and they took the time to listen to my concerns and issues. They were very knowledgeable and put me at ease that I was in good hands and that they would be my advocates. They were truly my advocates during a time that I needed someone to be there for me and to lead me down the proper path.
I am thankful I was referred to them.
