Attorney Fernanda is amazing, my experience of working with her and her team is such a joy and wonderful. I was relocated in SA and was looking for a good attorney to help my parents' visa application process. After doing some research, reviewing the comments and websites of different immigration lawyers. I decided to call and meet with Fernanda, she explained everything very clearly and precise. During the application, she always give me a peaceful of mind and submit everything on time. I am so glad I find her and work with her.
