Dessi Mathew took care of our citizenship case from the beginning, she worked with us in the most professional, polite, fast and effective way and we are now US Citizens.

As someone who has gone through the immigration process herself, Dessi is uniquely situated to understand the needs of her clients as they navigate the complexities of the immigration process. Dessi helped us during our adjustment of status process this year. The whole experience was smooth and tension free, largely due to the expert handling of the case by Dessi. She was very attentive to the specific needs of our case and was available 24x7 to clarify any doubts, issues or worries. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mathew Law firm, PLLC to anyone looking for expert immigration advice!
