I just wanted to take a moment to really let you know how much I appreciate your extraordinary level of care and compassion for both of my daughters’ situations.  You’ve gone way beyond professional courtesy and I can’t thank you enough!  You had the intuitive insight to know that the outcomes of the cases were important to me and you brought your best.  So thank you for those extraordinary efforts.  All the best!

I can’t recommend Dana T. Davidson highly enough. Working with Dana and her team at Davidson Law Group has made the sometimes arduous task of applying for a green card an absolute pleasure. Dana guided me through the entire process with both warmth and humanity, unlike some impersonal law firms. Her attention to detail and thoroughness with each submission, afforded me great peace of mind. I would (and have) recommended Dana to any friend looking for a straight talking, highly capable professional who doesn’t rest until the job is done.

Since emigrating from Canada nearly 10 years ago, I have had the opportunity to write for outlets such as Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, The New York Times and Glamour, none of which would have been possible without the hard work of Dana T. Davidson and her associates at Davidson Law Group. The attention my immigration needs received, the quality with which they were attended to, and the personal interest the associates at Davidson Law Group gave to my case were not only impressive, but unmatched when compared with experiences with other immigration lawyers.

I want to formally thank you for helping us get the green card successfully and so easily. I am forever thankful to that first meeting we had with you. We never knew that I would qualify for a green card and your guidance and success in this matter has forever changed my family’s lives. I am looking forward to the possibilities and the future I can build for my family here.
