“Ms. Tondini provided excellent legal services. She successfully guided my wife and I through the process of a fiancée visa (K1) in this exceedingly complex immigration system. All of our questions were patiently answered, and always in a timely manner. In short, she helped us navigate small details and major questions for over a year as we moved to the United States and became settled. We would undoubtedly seek out the firm’s legal services should we need further representation in immigration matters.”
