When seeking immigration council, the options can be overwhelming, not to mention very stressful. I will say, my husband and I are forever appreciative to have chosen Maria Hajar and her team (Isabella) to begin this journey. Counseling and support were received from beginning to end, with Isabella always just a phone call away for any extra reassurance.
This process ended up finalizing in our favor much quicker than we could've ever anticipated (only 2 months!), and for that I commend Maria and Isabella. Thank you so much for guiding us through this! You and your team truly made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Forever appreciative, Ale & Leo

My experience with Law Office of Maria Hajar over the past two and half years has been amazing, l applied for my parents for immigration to the US. Maria is very honest, knowledgeable and very professional in her field. Maria does charge a consultation fee, like any other lawyer, but the information you will get in return is priceless. I am proud to say over the past 2 1/2 years I have referred lots of my friends to Maria, all of them had great experiences.

I want to say thank you to Maria and her team. She helped me and my family a lot in getting American citizenship. Our case was not easy and very special. But Maria is an amazing immigration lawyer and she cared for us. Maria made difficult things easier for us. She listened to us and made us feel strong. She was always honest and worked hard for us.
If you need help with immigration, I highly recommend going to Maria. She is a very good and kind immigration lawyer. She helps a lot with citizenship or any immigration issues. Thank you, Maria and Isabella for all your help. You made a big difference for me and my family.

My path to obtaining citizenship was long and difficult, but with the presence of the Protectorate, Maria made everything easy for me. Having Maria with anyone for immigration processing makes everything easy. Thank you, Maria, for standing by my side because you deserve all the respect.

I can't say it will be an easy road for everyone going through the process of immigration but having Maria as my lawyer has been stress free, Maria definitely knows what she is doing, I got all my cards that we applied for and the timing was faster then normal. I really have only great things to say about my experience and I highly recommend Maria for anyone that needs a Great Lawyer. I am truly grateful for all the hard work done on my behalf, im also very grateful to have my green card, much appreciated Maria and team. Sincerely Jennifer

Maria was clear and precise in supporting myself and my wife's extension of the green card, set the right expectations and gave us detailed information on what to do while we were traveling and awaiting our approval and physical cards to arrive. Before the process, we thought it would be a tedious effort, but Maria made it easy for us, and we got our cards ahead of the expected timelines just in time for some international travels. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this law firm for immigration. Maria helped my parents with a very complicated and highly sensitive adjustment of status case. She was very kind, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable. When it comes to family immigration matters, I was grateful we went with Maria because I've heard so many horror stories of attorneys just taking your money and not working your case! Maria helped us every step of the way and will never be "too busy" for your call or email (unlike other firms who never got back to us). I cannot recommend her enough!

Maria has been my attorney for the past year, and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. She's very kind, knowledgeable, professional, and always has my best interest at heart. She never failed to make my life easier and ensure I'm prepared for all scenarios that may come up with my case. Always very responsive and provides the best guidance. I highly recommend her!

I am posting on behalf of my mom. She highly recommends this lawyer. From consultation to representing my mom to the court was a smooth process. Her knowledge and service was exceptional. She was also very kind and understanding. My mom was very happy with the results. Thank you so much!

Our family was in a rush to find a good immigration attorney to help us reunite with my in-laws, we needed someone with a deep understanding of the immigration laws yet who is personable and will invest the time to understand our circumstances and can help demystify the complicated US immigration system for us. We were glad to have met Maria and utilized her services.
She went above a beyond to ensure our paperwork was filed in record time ahead of my in-law's visa appointment. She personally woke up at 5 am her local time to speak with them the day of the interview and answer their last min questions.
