When my wife and I learned that we needed a lawyer to represent us, we reached out to Mrs Getachew. From the first day of our contact, Getachew has proved her sublime service in representing us. As an immigrant, it is not uncommon to find the legal process to be taxing; however, Mrs. Getachew had made it easy to navigate. I appreciate her compassion and her caring demeanor which made the interaction we had with her flawless. I know several friends who have struggled, at times suffered, in the process of getting their legal documents sorted out. My wife and took us less than six months to get our documents sorted out. I highly recommend the Law Office of Yemi Getachew for any immigration related services believing that she will exceedingly deliver the service she promises to offer.

My family has been the benefactor of the excellent work of this office. The lead attorney and assistant legal staff are committed to maintaining family ties, regardless of the adversities of the geo-political climate.

It is my honor to have met Yemi, and to provide this unqualified review of her, as a person and as one of the best immigration attorneys that I know. I have been benefitted by her expertise, knowledge, and professionalism. She is truly a trusted advisor. Most importantly, to me, she cares about and is committed to her clients. For her, "going the extra mile" is not just a metaphor; indeed, she will travel that extra mile for you. She makes your journey her own, and holds no bar in helping you achieve your immigration goals in the United States. I would look no further and hire her today!

Fantastic. This word describes the services provided by Yemi Getachew and her staff.
Yemi is very personable, patient, and non-judgmental. I explained my needs during the initial interview and she kept the mood light and allowed me to express my concerns and questions without interruption. She even advised me that I may not need her services, and offered to show me how to file my paperwork by myself. I was thankful for the offer, but did choose to continue with her services for added support.
Yemi's office is great with communication and I was alerted immediately when there were changes in the status of my application. I never once felt disconnected or worried that I had been forgotten.
If the need ever arises again, I will definitely be coming back to Yemi.

David A.

Yemi is not only highly competent (after 20 years in the field), but she is heart and soul. She is the real deal.
