Client Testimonials
My Go-To Immigration Attorney
I am a Human Resource Consultant. I found Marla a few years ago after a big name immigration law group did a terrible job on a tough TN-1 Management Consultancy Visa. We not only engaged Marla to help us refile the TN-1 which was accepted but my client at the time continued to use Marla for all our visa needs. I have also used Marla for my other clients with TN-1’s, H1-B and GreenCard filings. What I love most about Marla is she is really there for you by supporting you and the potential visa holder through the process.

A True Professional
While shopping for a lawyer for immigration services I contacted many who all declared I would find success in my quest for re-entry and permanent residency. The typical responses from money hungry lawyers. I called Marla and after an initial phone consultation she said she could not help me. I decided then that she was my choice. She obviously was not out to waste her time and give false hope while draining the bank account. Honesty. I called later and gave more details about my situation and Marla agreed I may have a case but it was difficult. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I ever made. Her expertise and knowledge is unsurpassed. Her attention to detail is awe inspiring. Does Marla have a magic button? No. What she does have is experience and a know how of the processes and requirements needed. I cannot express enough the highest regards I have for Marla.

With Marla You Get to Deal with Marla
I was sold from her YouTube video on the TD management consultant visa because that's exactly what my Canadian employee needed to be able to move to the US and work. Marla knows what documentation the border expects and what kinds of reference letters are useful and which are not. It took real co-ordination and co-operation and Marla for sure delivered. She genuinely cared for us and was happy for us when we succeeded. Trust me. You can't apply for a NAFTA TD management consultant visa without the help of someone like Marla.

I Cannot Praise Marla Enough!
Marla helped my Canadian husband get a Green Card. She was always available to answer our questions and guide us through the process. Due to her excellent preparation of our application the Green Card was approved in the shortest possible time; there was never any negative feedback or delay from USCIS. Before we hired Marla we talked with other immigration attorneys who made unrealistic promises, and glossed over many of the possible landmines. They, unlike Marla, seemed flakey and unreliable. Marla is smart, communicates well, and imparted realistic time expectations. We would never have gotten the Green Card without her help.

Thorough and Supportive
In the recent times, people are facing vivid immigration issues and it’s very stressful. I am a victim of such an issue as well. I was denied my TN at Pearson Airport, though I have 6 successful TN VISA’s prior to this. Post this incident I have approached my attorney, Marla, who has been and always played a vital role in addressing these immigration issues very professionally and strategically. She made sure my paperwork is all good, had thorough reviews and suggested me to apply for TN again from border out in the west side. Hear what!! My TN VISA got approved. My heartfelt thanks to Marla the way she handled the situation is impeccable. Thanks again Marla.

HIGHLY Recommended!
I'm a Canadian who hired Marla to help me prepare a TN application after receiving a job offer as a management consultant in the US. I knew this would be a very delicate process because it's highly scrutinized when applying. But I found Marla, and she was a true godsend. I went to the border, and my TN was approved without a hitch! For obvious reasons, I'm very grateful I found Marla. If you need help with anything related to US immigration, do not look any further!

Over Ten Years Working with Marla
I have worked with Marla Schechter for a decade now - it started with a creative solution to my immigration needs, ensuring that i got my L1A visa so I could expand my business in the US. She was there for me through my renewal, my green card process and ultimately my citizenship application (which was successful). Marla had a depth of knowledge and very reasonable fees - she managed the work herself and was always available and quick to outline what she needed from me for us to succeed. I have recommended her to several friends and family members and everyone has been very pleased. I recommend her without any reservations.
