I am very pleased with the way Mariela and Gianina handled my case. They explained me in detail how the process was going to be and guided me step by step all the way. They were always available when I had a question and were always on top of things. As a result I was granted the status I was seeking, excellent job, thank you!
I highly recommend this law office, they know what they are doing, they were honest and clear from the beginning and in just one year they managed to get me a green card .
Mariela , Gianina and Renata thank you for all your help .
His staff is extremely knowledgeable and highly responsive which goes a long way. His assistant Gianina is second to none with a great personal touch and Mariela is another fantastic attorney who helped me towards the end of my adjustment of status. We were on a time crunch and she came through miraculously always making me feel that I was taken care of. You couldn't ask for better service.
I did extensive research and talked to many lawyers. This office is hands down the best I found and I don't see anyone regret putting their lives in the hands of such amazing professionals.
I spoke with Mariela many times and she was always responsive and understanding. When there appeared to be moments I've thought we hit a roadblock or a dead-end, she was always reassuring me, explaining that things weren't quite as they appeared and detailing why we had good reason to remain confident in my case. She proved to be immensely knowledgeable in immigration law. I was reminded time and again how flat-out lucky I was to have her on my side fighting for me.
Choosing ILOLA was the best decision I've made in filing my N-600 application for cerfificate of citizenship. My case was approved this past week and I want to again express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to this successful outcome; Scott McVarish, Gianina Haro, Linda Lee and of course Mariela Sagastume.
Estoy muy agradecida con esta officina de Immigracion, me ayudaron a obtener mi Residencia, y espero en Unos años Poder Obtener mi ciudadanía
They care about each of their cases and guide you in an easy way to understand the whole process.
There is no one like them when it comes to immigration cases !!!
Thank You so so much Gianina and Scoot for all your support and help
In the process, they were very responsive and did follow ups with the agency to make sure everything is on track. They also have a great system of tracking communications and documents.
I received my GC sooner than I expected and did not have to go to an interview or submit additional evidence. Highly recommend !
This is the best and most fair legal team in Los Angeles in my experience by-far, many immigration Lawyers in Los Angeles where not truthful and they couldn’t answer my questions when I was in desperate help, I am very thankful for IOLA and their legal team, I just obtained my green card back last week.
My wife was very impressed as well, the entire team is very professional and they can explain to you every detail in the process. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer don't hesitate to contact them they will help you with anything you need.
In general, I suspect online reviews are often skewed by exaggeration of all sorts, both good and bad. In the case of The Immigration Law Offices of Los Angeles however, I can attest without any bias that Scott team and his colleagues provided a truly excellent service, without a single fault. I do not think I would have obtained my GreenCard with another attorney, and I do not think I would have found one as hard-working. I recommend them highly.
UPDATE!!!
I’m happy to say that I’m finally a legal resident thanks to ILOLA!!..Scott Mc Varish and his paralegal Gianina are excellent at their job. Im very grateful to Gianina who always kept me on touch about the progress of my process which allowed to stress a lot less specially during the current immigration atmosphere, I felt confident that I was in good hands. I highly recommend ILOLA!
We wanted to say thank you especially to Mariela Sagastume who is a wonderful, highly-detailed and caring attorney.
We all knew that getting an E2 visa was a significantly difficult process for us, and it seemed almost impossible to acquire it.The change in the U.S. government leadership also did not help our situation. However, her continuous determined effort and dedication gave us a victory.
When we were at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo for the interview, they mistakenly told us that they did not receive our DS160 forms. Our solution was of course to call Mariela. Even though there was a sixteen-hour time difference, she was very caring and gave us precise directions on what to do without causing any of our family members to panic. If we were not able to reach her, we might have not gotten our visas on that day, and it might have delayed our return to Los Angeles.
We loved everyone on their team. Gianina’s warm and welcoming smile let us to trust this team wholeheartedly from the very beginning. They carry their honor and confidence in their work. We were very lucky to have the privilege of having great support from them.
Thank you so much Immigration Law Office of Los Angeles!!!
They handled my case with such great professionalism, but also with a lot of care, and that's something no money can buy. I always felt like they were there for me, day or night, through all my drama. Having them on your side is the best decision you can make for yourself and your immigration case.
Working with ILOLA is easy, and enjoyable. We´ve never worked before with an immigration attorney, and it was a challenging task to find someone you can trust, especially when you are not from the U.S. (we are from Mexico).
Their knowledge of immigration law is incredible, they are always aware of the legal situation in your case (or cases), they are conscious of the possible outcomes, and they certainly can help you design the best plan for your immigration projects and goals.
My family has mainly worked with Scott and Gianina, they are really nice, honest, punctual, and even though you are facing one of the hardest moments of your life, you can count on them to work toward giving you the best possible results and advice in any immigration aspect (Student Visas, Investor Visas, Asylum, and more).
I´m really glad and grateful for being able to work with such amazing persons.

Trabajar con ILOLA es una experiencia sencilla y agradable. Nunca habíamos tenido un abogado de inmigración y es retador encontrar alguien en quien puedes confiar, especialmente cuando no eres originario de los Estados Unidos. (somos de Mexico).
Su conocimiento en leyes de inmigración es increíble, siempre están al pendiente de la situación legal de tu caso (o casos), están conscientes de los posibles resultados, y seguramente pueden ayudarte a diseñar el mejor plan para tus proyectos y metas de inmigración.
Mi familia ha trabajado principalmente con Gianina y Scott, ellos son realmente agradables, honestos y puntuales, y a pesar de que te encuentres en uno de los momentos más difíciles de tu vida, puedes contar con que ellos van a trabajar por darte los mejores consejos y resultados posibles en cualquier aspecto de inmigración (Visas de estudiante, visas de inversionistas, asilo y más).
Realmente estoy feliz y agradecido por poder trabajar con estas increíbles personas.

I could not have been in better hands and can only recommend their excellent service to everyone, especially for more complicated matters, which require the highest knowldege and expertise.
Thank you again for all you did for me. Without your help I am not certain I would be a US citizen now.

Because Scott and his team had put our paperwork together perfectly, our application was processed very very quickly and I had my green card in unexpectedly quick time.
Thank you Scott McVarish and Gianina god bless you.

From the day my papers were filed to the day I got my green card were only 4 months. During all the process, they were in touch with me and explained everything with detail. He sees clients, like if they were family or friends. Very supportive and understanding.
This is one of the best investments I have ever done in my life, hands down. My money and status were in his hands and he made it work!!! Totally trustworthy.
Thank you Scoot and Immigration Law Office.

He is the type of lawyer that has your best interest at heart. Scott helped me with my work visa. Throughout the process he was very thorough; he would call and/or email requesting whatever additional information was needed. It felt like his office didn't mind putting the extra effort because they truly wanted to help me.. Thankfully his (and Gianina's) work paid off and my work visa was approved. (Yei!)
I can't emphasize enough that Immigration Law Office of Los Angeles has a friendly staff, you can tell that you are dealing with good people who are really on your side. When I say this I refer to both Scott and Gianina. They are both positive people who made me feel like my case was their priority. Furthermore, I got the impression that they are truly trying to change the immigrant experience in this country for the best.
Finally, my previous experience with an immigration lawyer had been that they gave me an initial quote of how much her services were going to cost and then when the whole process ended, she charged me triple of what she had said. Scott is NOT like that. He gave an initial fixed rate from the start and that is exactly what he charged at the end. I am thankful for his honesty and integrity.
I truly don't have anything negative to say about Scott. I am thankful for his services and I hope he continues to help many immigrants like he helped me.
