Lawyer Client Comments
"I have worked with Dorothy (Dot) for the past five years. Prior to my position, I had limited experience in Immigration matters. She has done an excellent job of communicating the information in detail and making sure I understand it. She's very timely, easy to reach, and responsive to both myself and employees with any and all requests. She does an excellent job of building rapport with the employees and always keeps me up to date on any pending matters. I find her very knowledgeable in the field of immigration, and know that she keeps our company's best interest in mind when making any recommendations. I would highly recommend Dot to others looking for immigration services."
"Dorothy Basmaji is the best on all fronts! I absolutely love her!"
