Guided With Confidence
January 2024
I don’t usually leave Google reviews but I felt compelled to after working with Anne G. Relias. Anne and her team represented me in three cases and did an excellent job at each one of them.
Since I arrived to the United States, Anne and her team took the time to thoroughly understand my case and unique circumstances, guiding me through the complex immigration process with confidence, and kept me well-informed at every step of the process.
Despite the difficult life situation I was going through at that time, I felt I was in very capable hands. Anne left no stone unturned, ensuring that all necessary paperwork was filed accurately and on time. She appeared with me to immigration interviews which are notorious for being difficult. She handled it with confidence and made me feel at ease. I am now waiting for my naturalization ceremony to become a U.S. citizen!

Helpful and honest!
June 2022
“I consulted with Annie about bringing my relatives on U4Ukraine program. The case was relatively straightforward with one complication (my mother currently does not have her travel passport that is used to enter the States). Annie was helpful, honest and offered a good advice in a comprehensible manner. I have not hired her (as of yet) because I hope I will be able to complete all the documentation on my own.”

Always available and walked us through the process each step of the way
February 2021
“I would highly recommend Scott D. Pollock & Associates, we worked directly with Anne Relias and her Legal Assistant Jose Haro. They both always made themselves available when we had questions and always walked us through the process each step of the way. We had moved to North Carolina, where the view on immigration is much more conservative. She was able to navigate the immigration process here powerfully, decisively and confidently, even from Chicago. Anne was very organized and knowledgeable of all aspects of our case. She utilized many facets of the law to progress our case quickly. We did not have a simple case, and I know there was a lot of work and research to be done, on her side. In the end, we were able to get my wife???s adjustment of status to permanent resident without having to return to Mexico for an interview. Which was very relieving, knowing how the world and that area is right now. As I said we would highly recommend Scott D. Pollock & Assoc. and Anne Relias. My Wife, Son and Myself are very grateful to her, Jose and The Firm. We were ecstatic when my wife received her Green Card and now we can continue our lives with much less worry and a much brighter future.”

Anne Relias is a great, knowledgeable attorney
May 2018
“I highly recommend Scott D Pollock & Associates. This law firm is worth every penny. Anne Relias is a great attorney. She handled my husband’s case with professionalism and diligence. My husband was in removal proceedings for 17 years because we previously hired a law firm that did not know what they were doing. Ms. Relias obtained my husband’s green card within a few months of hiring their firm. She kept us informed, answered every question and provided us with a copy of everything that she filed with the court or government. Her pre-hearing argument and filings with the immigration court were excellent. No sloppy work. Ms. Relias definitely knows how to get her point across. She is very professional and guides you from beginning to the end of your case. She prepares you for trial and is very aggressive when doing so to obtain the best results possible. Ms. Relias is a very knowledgeable attorney that walks with confidence into the court room. I would definitely hire this law firm again. Thank you Ms. Relias for ending with my family’s nightmare of having our loved one in removal proceedings.”

Highly recommended
June 2017
“Anne helped me obtain my citizenship when other attorneys said I didn’t have a chance. She made the process simple to understand. We then hired her again to obtain my husband’s green card. Again she was informative, helpful & honest throughout the whole process. She was very detailed about the documentation we needed to obtain & made sure all the t’s were crossed and the i’s dotted. She helped us obtain the waiver for unlawful presence & prepared us to the max for the interview in Juarez. She took care of all the details from setting up appointments, registrations & putting the packet together so that we had everything we needed for that much awaited appointment. Thanks to all the work she did with her legal assistant Maria, we are delighted to say that my husband was approved and we are now living together as a family in the states without the fear of being undocumented. Our family will forever be grateful to Anne for what she did for us & words cannot even express our gratitude. We will definitely recommend her to others & use her in the future when it’s time to apply for my husband’s citizenship!”

Competent, thorough and knowledgeable
May 2017
“We are very thankful to Anne Relias and Scott Pollock for giving back hope and happiness to our lives. We faced one of the most complex and difficult issues in immigration law and we are glad to have found Anne Relias and Scott Pollock after applying for a AOS and getting a NOID. After hearing and studying our case, Anne was very knowledgeable about what we needed to help prove our case. Her brief was well composed and she worked very hard and extensively to make the best job possible. She continued to work in our case with Scott Pollock and after a hard long process they were able to defy the odds and make justice. Anne Relias was very determined, she worked hard and was always very confident. We couldn’t thank her enough. We had a very difficult and rare case and Anne and Scott were the only attorneys that we met that had experience with the issue and the knowledge to work with it. Thanks to them we had a positive outcome and we are able to restart our lives. ”

Anne was AMAZING A++
December 2016
“Anne Relias was not our first lawyer but she was the best by far, we only wish we had known about her sooner! If it wasn’t for Anne’s determination and good heart i don’t think we would ever get our green cards. Anne worked relentlessly on our very long confusing case while staying in touch with us, updating us and explaining every detail so that we understood the process and what was happening very clearly. She was there for moral support as well as great financial help. Anne and her firm were very understanding of our tough financial situation and worked with us very graciously at every step during the case, making sure that her services were affordable. She was truly amazing and our family is beyond happy with the work that Anne has done. ”

An Outstanding Immigration Lawyer

“What is a client looking for in an attorney? Experienced, patient, careful, helpful, detailed, strategy oriented, responsive, knows the ins and outs of the process, honest, strategic thinking as how to proceed without creating false expectations and on top of all a top professional. All of that was experienced firsthand when I was represented in a very complicated asylum file by Mrs. Relias, whom I highly recommend to anyone trying to navigate a complicated immigration process at any stage.”

Very professional!
May 2014
“Very professional and very easy to talk through and get all the legal information easy to understand for us. She was not able to make our immigration court date but had a very good replacement who met with us first to ensure the court appearance went well. Always responded rapidly to emails and voice mails as well. We had to be one of her first Gay couples applying for immigration status change and it went very smooth and in fact the examiner stated the case was easy to decision because it was so well documented.”

Anne Cares About Her Clients
April 2013
“When I came to Anne what I liked the most about her was her HONESTY. She did not give me promises like my previous attorney did. She evaluated the options and was just pure honest with my chances and options that I had at that time. She did keep me informed on a regular basis of the changing landscape of immigration laws. In my court case she fought hard to get my case dismissed. In short Anne really cares about her clients (something I could not say about my previous lawyer).”

I Wish Every Immigration Lawyer Was Like Her
December 2012
“After ten years in Chicago IL and six or seven lawyers, I finally found the most honest, hard-working, and knowledgeable immigration attorney around. Not even once did I ever feel that Ms. Relias tried to take advantage or me or the precarious situation that I was in (where several other attorneys with whom I worked did). I have already recommended her services to several of my friends and they feel the same way that I do. I recommend Ms. Relias in the most sincere and heartfelt way possible.”

Anne, The Brilliant and Efficient Immigration Lawyer
November 2012
“Ms. Relias handled an immigration matter for me with the US Embassy in Uganda (Africa). I found Anne to be incredibly polished, knowledgeable and blindingly brilliant. There is absolutely no way that I would have succeeded with my matter if it were not for Anne’s guidance, dedication and perseverence. There were times when I felt like giving up but Anne’s reassurance and commitment kept me hopeful. Anne is a formdable lawyer who certainly knows her game! I have dealt with other lawyers in the past but none has been as direct, well-prepapred and aggressive as Anne was. There are lawyers who distance themselves from a matter as it gets complex – not Anne. I could tell that the more complex and difficult my matter evolved, the more zeal Anne had for us to win! For the seasoned and busy lawyer that Anne is, I got very quick responses to any inquiries and was updated about my matter at all times. Despite the distance, Anne was always a phone call or e-mail away! In one line: Anne is a smart and dependable lawyer possessed with a wealth of experience. Would I engage her again or recommend her to others? Absolutely! Anne does live up to her excellent reputation as one of the best in the field of immigration law.”

The best immigration attorney!

“Anne handled our case (deportation) with great care, professionalism and passion. She did all of the research, told us exactly which evidence would help our case, was on top of immigration procedures and rules. 3 or 4 attorneys before Anne refused to take our case. Anne took the risk and the result:- I got my Green Card! Highly recommended and appreciated. Ms. Anne Relias is the best immigration attorney you can get!”
