Testimonials

Ms. Lu helped me with a complex and very time-consuming immigration case where she showed great patience, knowledge and empathy. She has contacted USCIS on my behalf numerous times and contacted the senator's office when my case was outside of the processing time. She always answered my questions and she listened very carefully when we had concerns. Ms. Lu also serves as my primary business legal counsel; she helped me smoothing various business transactions and she's very detail oriented and she is eager to protect her clients' interest. I highly recommend Lu Law Office. - Wendy

I took the service of Ms. Lucy Lu for my EB1A green card application. My I-140 application was approved recently, which speaks for her efficacy. Additionally, there are several factors I really liked about her-
1. She is very dedicated and extremely attentive to her clients. Often I emailed her during weekend and received prompt reply.
2. She is quite knowledgeable regarding immigration law and regulations. This is important because these rules change often and she is up to date on latest regulations.
3. She gave a frank and detailed assessment of my EB1A eligibility without extra fee when I approached her first, and I am very glad that I decided to work with her.
4. In my experience, she worked fast and submitted my application as soon as all required documents were gathered.

My friend, who also did successful EB1A through her, recommended her name to me, and it worked very well for me. Overall, I am highly satisfied with Ms. Lu. I wish her every success in the future! - RD
