Reviews
We have known Sumner Immigration Law for several years. They guided us through the process of our family-based green card application in 2019–2020, and we had such a wonderful experience working with them that we requested their services again to help us file our application for naturalization. We deeply appreciate everyone on the team for being exceptionally responsive, patient, and professional. They provide clear, step-by-step guidance throughout the process explaining what documentation is needed to build the strongest case, outlining anticipated timelines, and highlighting important deadlines. Emily does an amazing job addressing any questions we may have, and she diligently follows up to ensure our concerns are resolved. It is truly a pleasure to work with Emily and the entire Sumner Immigration Law team. They are extremely knowledgeable about the complexities of the immigration process, very passionate about their work, and committed to providing excellent service. Most of all, they are phenomenal people, and we feel honored and privileged to have gotten to know them over the years. We are grateful to everyone at Sumner Immigration Law for their support and wish them continued success and all the best.
I found Emily Sumner through her insightful LinkedIn posts a year ago and have been following her since. When it was time for my husband and I to hire a firm, we reached out to her and couldn’t be happier that we did. Sumner Immigration Law made my green card process smooth and stress-free. Working with Emily, Lisa, Ashley, and Solange was wonderful — they were professional, responsive, and genuinely caring every step of the way. Their attention to detail and clear communication made all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert, trustworthy immigration guidance.
Emily and her law firm have been helpful to Luke and our case. I've interacted with her team, and they all knew what was going on in our case, which made us feel good about having their whole support. For background, Luke and I received military orders to Germany while waiting for the I-130 approval and the interview. Emily and her team assisted us in navigating all the legal and administrative processes to ensure we were doing everything correctly. It's a relief to have a knowledgeable and patient team that has answers to all our questions. They reviewed all the documents that we submitted and also held practice interviews to prepare us. With their help, Luke's immigration journey has been easy for us. I'm glad I selected Sumner Immigration Law for our immigration process. I highly recommend reaching out to Sumner Immigration Law for any questions. Navigating the immigration process is difficult enough on your own, so having Sumner Immigration help me through everything was so helpful!
My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Sumner Immigration Law. We applied for family-based immigration with my wife living and working in Colombia and me in the USA. We travelled internationally to be together all the while trusting the process and our advisors. Emily and the whole team explained every step clearly and gave us needed reassurance at critical points in the process. We were well prepared for her interview in Bogota because of the support we received. The easiest part of the process is to work with Sumner Immigration Law. The hardest part is having the patience to wait. If you do select Sumner Immigration Law, I am quite sure you will have the same exact positive experience!
Truly Exceptional Service and Expertise—Especially with Complex RFEs! I cannot recommend Sumner Immigration Law PLC highly enough. My journey through the employment-based green card process was complex, and their expertise and dedication were the sole reason for its successful outcome. The team managed my initial H-1B transfer and PERM labor certification flawlessly. Both were handled efficiently, and their clear communication made those early stages stress-free. The true testament to their skill came during the I-140 Immigrant Petition process. When we received a Request for Evidence (RFE), I was naturally concerned. However, the attorneys at Sumner Immigration Law PLC demonstrated exceptional legal strategy and a calm, reassuring approach. They meticulously analyzed the RFE, developed a robust and evidence-backed response, and guided me through every step. Their comprehensive response cleared the hurdle, and my I-140 was successfully approved. Navigating an RFE is challenging, but they turned a potential setback into a major win. If you need an immigration firm that combines high-level legal acumen with dedicated client support, look no further. They are simply the best.
