Law Office of Amy Maldonado LLC

When my nephew Mohamed was recently detained by ICE in Detroit, he was suddenly placed in expedited removal after a problematic credible fear interview. That same night, when we realized what was happening, Amy acted quickly and decisively, staying up late to file a federal habeas corpus petition. At the time, Mohamed didn’t have an immigration lawyer, so Amy volunteered and appeared before the immigration judge the very next day, persuading him to vacate the credible fear decision. She did all of this at a very low, essentially pro bono rate. Because of her work, ICE was blocked from removing Mohmed, the federal court took control of the case, and eventually his habeas petition was granted and a bond release was ordered. Our family is deeply grateful to her, and we would strongly recommend Amy to anyone facing complex federal detention or removal cases.

Amy is one of the best immigration lawyers I worked with. For the following reasons: She cares deeply: Many immigration firms see immigrants as just another case or another workload, but behind every immigrant, there is a unique story. Amy sees this, she cares for her clients and their dreams, and she tries her best to help them achieve their immigration goals. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in what she does: especially for the categories that need deep skill and expertise, such as O1, NIW etc. She understands the regulation, keeps up to date with changes, and pays attention to the nuances. She also tailors solutions for every case based on everyone’s different situation. She has a strong sense of justice, and not afraid to discuss with the authorities and stand up for her clients to do what is best for them. I recommend Amy to anyone who seeks a knowledge, capable immigration lawyer who cares, to be alongside their immigration journey.

If you're looking for an attorney in this sector, you have to choose Amy. I am an attorney, but had an extraordinarily complex immigration matter that I knew only an expert could handle. We hired Amy and we're so glad we did. Her office was professional, attentive, hard working and got us the result we needed! I could not recommend this office anymore and the next time I have an immigration matter, I am heading straight back to her office. Choose Amy, your life will become a lot easier!

I received a notice from USCIS sent to me in the U.S. mail last December that was due in 30 days (on January 3). I didn’t receive it for more than a week. Most attorneys were out of the office and unavailable because of the holiday. My attorney recommended Amy to me, and I did a consultation with her on December 19. By the time I spoke with Amy, I only had a couple of weeks left to the deadline. She knew that it would be hard for me to find another attorney because of the timing, so she accepted the case even though it was EB-5 related and she doesn’t usually take those cases. Because of that, she recommended that after we responded to the notice, I work with experienced EB-5 lawyers at another firm (they had also been recommended to me, and knew Amy and respected her as an attorney) so that I would have the best representation that I could possibly have. Amy worked tirelessly, even over the holidays, and found a lot of evidence to support my case (more than 700 pages, I was impressed and surprised). After she finished her part of the case, she continued working with my current legal team to track down critical documents that I need to get an approval. I highly recommend Amy, she cares about her clients and goes the extra mile to do her best.

We hired Ms. Amy Maldonado to assist us with an O-1B nonimmigrant visa, and I couldn't be happier with her services. She possesses an impressive depth of knowledge about the law and its practical applications. What sets her apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients; she is fearless in standing up to the government when rights are infringed. Her dedication and expertise have been invaluable to our case, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of top-tier legal assistance. Additionally, her fees are very reasonable, offering exceptional value for the quality of service provided.

Absolutely five-star review. My US visa process was a lengthy one, but one in which Amy and her team were consistently on top of in the most professional manner. I continue to work with Amy and her team to this day. Four years and counting! Highly recommended. One of the best in the business.

My EB-1A case was unfairly denied by USCIS two years ago. Since then, I’m happy to have found Amy Maldonado’s office. Amy Maldonado was recommended to me by New York lawyer as the best EB-1 lawyer in America. So, I gave it a try, and my case was completely rebuilt and approved without any RFEs. Amy Maldonado office can prepare and appeal your case in federal court. Many thanks to the entire office for the work they have done, special thanks to Adriana.
