Scarlett and her team are very professional and the best immigration attorney I ever worked with.

My husband's green card (marriage based) arrived in the mail yesterday! Due to the recent immigration reforms, his application experienced serious delays. We were extremely anxious throughout the whole process and often wanted quick answers. Scarlett frequently replied to our emails at night and during the weekends, which really helped calm our nerves and made us feel well taken care of.

I recently worked with Leiva Law on my green card process, and they were truly excellent. Friendly, professional, responsive, knowledgeable... I've been an immigrant in this country for 17 years and have dealt with many immigration attorneys on F1s, J1s, OPT, AT, H1B, tarjeta verde, etc... Leiva's services were by far the best.

Rebecca and her team clearly explained the process for me, and outlined... read more all the possible pitfalls so we could avoid them. Their process was simple, streamlined and easy to follow. Immigration processes can be anxiety-provoking, but with these folks I always felt like we were on top of things and on the right track.

también, when I first asked for their help, they even asked me to check in with my previous attorney to see if the service I needed was already covered in my earlier contract. It was not, but I was so impressed that they were willing to lose a potential client in the interest of simply being helpful to a fellow human being.

I wholeheartedly recommend them! read less

Scarlett and her team are excellent! They helped my wife with the fiance visa process. My wife was able to move to the US from Taiwan and the process was very smooth.

Scarlett and her team are all very quick with their responses and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Leiva Law Firm.

I turned to Leiva for my adjustment of status application after an unsuccessful experience with a different firm. She was very friendly, informative and helpful throughout the whole process. I highly recommend her!

Scarlett and her firm have done an incredible job! I have worked with many lawyers in the past, and have never had a better experience than with Leiva Law Firm. They are people you can trust. From beginning to end, their team works hard to make you feel taken cared of. We live in Southern California so dealing with a long distance firm felt like... read more a bad idea at first, but everything was smooth sailing. We had perfectly written emails that had step by step of what we had to do on our end, and someone ready to assist us on the phone. Scarlett truly goes above and beyond the extra mile to help you fully understand the immigration process. She doesn't just have you sign paperwork, but also shares her knowledge and makes it a goal for you to understand what everything means. To me, this is a real professional's work. Nothing but positive praise for Scarlett Leiva. She is super professional and above all: trustworthy. Take it from me, a person that has never met her in real life, but trusts her enough with my entire family's immigration petitions ranging from: advance parole, FOIA, marriage, and sibling petitions. 5 stars well earned! read less

Gran servicio, muy organizado y útil. Que mi marido y yo ayudaron a lo largo de todo el proceso de llenado de los documentos a los detalles más pequeños. Scarlett fue nuestro abogado que era muy sensible y respondió a todas nuestras preguntas con confianza. Ella trató de hacer que todo sea lo más fácil posible para que nos sintamos cómodos con nuestro caso.

Recomiendo altamente este bufete de abogados.

Gran servicio, de mucha ayuda. Que realmente se preocupan por sus clientes y hacen lo que es lo contrario de una experiencia estresante en uno soportable. definitivamente recomendado! Puedo ver por qué hay tantas otras críticas!

I worked with Scarlett last year for my wife's immigration process. She was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire process.

Scarlett helped us with a very professional and straight to the point approach, which resulted in the desired outcome. Scarlett and this law firm helped us to be fully prepared. I strongly recommend her! and we would work with her and her team again.

Randall & Scarlett were a great team to work with for the immigration needs we were looking for (marriage/fiance). They were very responsive, were well informed and were very organized in guiding us throughout the process.

It was a difficult and long process getting someone from Europe to the US. Claude & Leiva was there at every step, answering all the questions we had and supported us through the process. We are completely satisfied with them. Their support made the final goal possible. We would recommend them to everyone, we are fully satisfied. Thank you Scarlett & Leiva

Scarlett helped us out with a green card application for my wife.

I am a GC holder myself so the whole process took longer that it does for US Citizens. It took about 2 years for us to get the interview and get the green card. Scarlett was there since the beginning guiding us through the process and answering any questions we had.

We even... read more met in person a few times during that time when we had to gather and submit more documents.

When we finally got an interview, Scarlett met up with us beforehand to go through all the documents we needed to present, prepare us for the interview, and on the day of the interview she came with us to the immigration office!! That made the entire process a lot less stressful and we were super happy to have someone like Scarlett with us!!

Having a good immigration lawyer is important I feel as the document preparation and in general application process is confusing and it's very easy to make mistakes that could delay everything or even get you rejected.

We were lucky enough to have Scarlett by our side helping us along the way :) Thanks, Scarlett! read less

Husband's (Randy) review:

Being the US citizen and wanting to bring my bride to be over to the states, I started looking for an attorney that I could trust to get the job done. Having no experience with attorneys with the horrid exception of the ones representing my ex wife, I was wary. As you can imagine, yelp is full of lawyers that promise this and... read more that, wanting to get you in the door and pay the retainer as fast as possible. It got to the point that I felt like I was dealing with pushy salesmen from a car dealership than from someone who had passed the BAR. After about a dozen or so conversations with various firms I finally looked up and contacted Randall & Scarlett.

From the start you can tell that they are truly wanting to help. With my fiance still overseas, they provided me the information I needed to fell comfortable enough to pull the proverbial trigger.

As the process continued, Scarlett especially was there every step of the way. I'm the type that has about a billion questions like "will my military service have an impact to the outcome?" to "I haven't seen the USCIS website update since I checked it last night, is something wrong?". I'm sure Scarlett had more emails from my fiance and I about small, miniscule questions than there are fish in the ocean. However Scarlett answered every single one. Even if the self manifested fear we dreamed up made us panic and email her yet again, Scarlett took the time to make sure that our concerns were addressed and ultimately put to rest. (in addition to reminding us to stay off certain immigration websites that provide plenty of horror stories)

Once Macy was with me in the states, Scarlett sat with us at their office and we went over the next steps, documents to prepare as well as welcoming Macy to California (which I thought was an amazing personal touch).

Once we had our interview with USCIS, we were confident that the outcome would be a favorable one. However we didn't realize that we would recieve notification the very next day that our case was approved. As I write this it's been 72'ish hours from the interview (May 31st)and 24'ish since the approval (June 1st). There is simply no way this could have gone so amazingly without Randall and Scarlett's help.

I know many people traverse the immigration system themselves and I wish all the best to those who can do it on their own. However with results like what we have received and the comfort of knowing a highly skilled team has your back, I wouldn't have done it any other way.

A life long and heart felt thank you to Randall, Scarlett and the rest of the team for everything you have done and most importantly allowing me to spend every day next to the woman I love.

Wife's (Macy) review:

We began the whole process when I was on the other side of the world, which made it nerve wracking to say the least, but Randall, Scarlett, and the staff at the firm eased my worries time and time again. They gave us sound advice throughout each step of the way, and they were on top of every single detail. Even though I pestered them with incessant emails (Sorry again, Scarlett!), they were always incredibly patient and kind, in addition to being quick to answer my questions.

This ordeal would have been painstakingly difficult without the help of Randall, Scarlett, and the rest of the team. I've never been a fan of lawyers, to be honest but this law firm is different; I felt their genuine concern about our case, and there were definitely instances where I saw that they went out of their way just to help.

I'm sure Randy is writing a lengthy review so I'll wrap mine up: we had our interview on May 31, and received our confirmation the next day! Woot woot! Sure, there are tons of people who go through the process without a lawyer, but I'd have gray hairs if we decided to do so...or I'd be unhealthly going around Visa Journey for answers. With Randall and Scarlett's guidance, we were able to have some peace of mind and that sort of thing is priceless, if you ask me. I'm deeply grateful to the firm for keeping this immigrant's dream alive, and ultimately, for helping keep this couple from two different continents together.
