I am the sponsor for my Turkish husband’s green card; we used the services of Powell Law and were very happy! Sharon Powell and her team were very thorough and professional, they helped us navigate the forms and process, they were available to answer all of our questions any time! We filed in May of 2021 and he received his card in June 2022! I would absolutely recommend Sharon Powell for her expertise, her care and attention, and her willingness to help/answer questions, no matter how small or seemingly obvious. Picture of our family for added emphasis!

I can’t thank Mrs. Powell enough for how she handled my rather complicated case. Her knowledge, experience and genuine care for her clients led us to finally have our case approved and I know that first hand because before we met Mrs. Powell we had an attorney that simply did not know what she was doing. Don’t waste your time and money! Go for the best and that is Mrs Powell and her team!
