Competent and experienced, but communication could improve

Charina Garcia handled my complex I-601A waiver application. With 27 years in immigration law and her recognition by Best Lawyers, her expertise was evident in her thorough preparation and understanding of the legal nuances. She is clearly knowledgeable. However, the experience was mixed. While the legal work was solid, communication was sometimes slow, with responses taking several days. At times, I felt I had to follow up to get updates on my case's status. For straightforward matters, her firm, WR Immigration, is a competent choice, but if you require frequent, proactive communication, you may need to set clear expectations from the start.
