I am incredibly grateful to Leyla and Melisa for working on my O1 petition! They always answered all my queries (and I had many) with patience, proving clear responses and were prompt in responding to emails. They took immediate actions, when necessary, to adapt to changes in immigration policies. It was obvious during the whole process, that they have the best interest of the applicant in their mind and were very thorough in the effort that went towards the petition. I had a great experience with them and would highly recommend Davidson Law Group to anybody who wants to work with, not only a responsible and efficient, but also a kind legal team. Thank you!
