What Our Clients Say

  • ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    "We had a difficult immigration problem that involved my son-in-law. We talked with several lawyers but got no satisfactory answers. This case involved a 10 year bar, and several trips to interviews. It took a long time but Lesley was with us all the way through. The firm's fees were very fair and did not change or escalate. If you are looking for a lawyer who will listen to you, tell you the truth, and be there for you with whatever comes, give L.I.H Law a call."

    "My experience at L.I.H Law was fantastic. Lesley gave great advice and helped us submit our paperwork for our marriage. She set up the appointment for our civil marriage and was our witness too. The efficiency in which she executed all the paperwork, meetings, etc was easier than renewing your license at the DMV. I am a very satisfied client, without her help my husband would have had to go back to live in Spain. I have recommended her services to friends, and each has told me the same. The consummate professional; she lives immigration law."
