Word From Clients.

“Zoe was so great! Calm, cool and collected”
Zoe was so great! Calm, cool and collected. She walked us through every step, double checked everything, and the result was a successful Green Card for my son-in-law! I highly recommend Zoe to support you through this process.
Thank you Zoe!
“I have worked with Attorney Zhang-Louie”
I have worked with Attorney Zhang-Louie as a colleague and consulted with her. Her knowledge of immigration law is impeccable, both for personal petitions and employment petitions. She is also very caring and instills trust in clients. I highly recommend her.
“Zoe was instrumental in helping with my parents' green card situation”
I was recommended to ZOE by a colleague of mine for an EB2 Visa with a waiver and indeed, my expectations were not disappointed.

I found Zoe a very detailed professional who believes in verifying every piece of document that reaches her for a strong case. Zoe is a very patient and respectful client who listens and uses the information provided to achieve results.

I recommend her to anyone who might be interested in similar services.
Thank you, Zoe,
“I was recommended to ZOE by a colleague of mine”
Zoe was instrumental in helping with my parents' green card situation. We're originally from India, and I was sponsoring my parents' permanent residency petition. Zoe was methodical and walked us through the entire process in detail. She stayed on top of all logistical needs and sent us alerts / reminders in a timely fashion so we would never fall behind in the process. My parents were born at a time, when, Indian hospitals didn't issue birth certificates, but Zoe was great in helping us with identifying the right set of documents and making a solid case in front of the immigration officer that the documents my parents were in possession of were substantial.
Our entire process from first engaging with Zoe to my parents receiving their green card took about 9 months, and they (my parents) didn't even have to do an interview! While being knowledgeable and meticulous are Zoe's strengths, her being empathetic and addressing my parents' concerns proactively, thereby putting them at ease mentally throughout the process were the most important qualities why I'd recommend Zoe to others.
Thanks Zoe for giving my parents and my family our peace of mind through my parents' immigration process.
“Absolutely phenomenal attorney!”
Absolutely phenomenal attorney! Definitely made the right choice choosing Zoe to represent me on my EB-2 petition. Not only is she meticulous and detail-oriented, she was also able to connect me with the right people to aid me in my EB-2 file and helped me create a professional "team" for my case. More importantly, Zoe really cares about her clients and shows great passion and honesty in her work. She made this difficult and often confusing immigration process much more simpler by being constantly engaged with me every step of the way. Highly recommended!
“I don't think I'd get my E2 visa without Zoe's professional guidance”
I don't think I'd get my E2 visa without Zoe's professional guidance throughout the whole process. Zoe was more than an immigration attorney, she was instrumental in helping me get my CPA practice started. Unlike other lawyers I've dealt with, Zoe was personal, accessible and resourceful. She made me feel that she cared about my success. Her work quality was impeccable. I went in for my interview fully prepared. Zoe thought of all the possible questions that the immigration officer could throw at me to challenge my application, I rehearsed all these questions and walked in with confidence. My interview was easy and brief, mostly because my application was so thoroughly put together and Zoe helped make a strong case for my business. If anyone is interested in learning more about my own experience of getting E2, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions. Needless to say, Zoe is my "go to" immigration lawyer, I highly recommend her to all my clients.
“Zoe is an exceptionally brilliant immigration Attorney”
Zoe is an exceptionally brilliant immigration Attorney. She is a very grounded professional that is easily accessible. I had a very pleasant experience with her will recommend her services anytime. She takes her time to provide the right information to clients and guide them throughout the process. She is also very detailed thorough and as a result I had a seamless and hitch free process. She guided me from start to finish and I had a positive outcome at the end of everything.
“My experience with Zoe has been very positive”
My experience with Zoe has been very positive. She was a good listener and help me go through the process. I got OPT (F-1) denied and I have 30 days to Motion to reopen. She takes her time to read and find the right information aboutmy case. Finally I got OPT approved on time.

Would highly recommend Zoe for thier expertise and professionalism at a fair cost.

Green Card for my son-in-law! I highly recommend Zoe to support you through this process.

“Words fail me in conveying my heartfelt gratitude to you and your team for your help.”
Words fail me in conveying my heartfelt gratitude to you and your team for your help. My wife and I have been approved for our green card. It is a surreal feeling knowing that our dream has materialized. Also, no question was asked. The officer basically went through our i485 and asked if there was an update. The initial birth certificate was enough. Thank you Zoe. We are glad to finally call here home.
“Zoe was so amazing throughout the process of applying for a green card”
Zoe was so amazing throughout the process of applying for a green card. My partner and I couldn't have found anyone better than her! She was always one call away and very punctual with her work. Thank you so much for everything!
