Franklin MooreImmigration Client

Exceptional Immigration Attorney

Ms. Upton handled my asylum case in federal immigration court with extraordinary dedication. Her knowledge of immigration law and federal procedure was comprehensive. She prepared an incredibly detailed brief and presented compelling evidence at the hearing. My asylum was granted, and I will be forever grateful for her expertise and compassion.

Priya SharmaFormer Client

Expert in Federal Immigration Appeals

After my visa petition was denied, Ms. Upton took my case on appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals and then to the federal circuit court. Her appellate skills were remarkable. She identified errors in the administrative record that the previous attorney had missed. The circuit court remanded the case and I ultimately received my visa. Truly an expert in her field.
