I highly recommend Bellisimo Law group PCBellissimo Law Firm has been an incredible support for our family during one of the most challenging times. My mother faced an unexpected medical situation with no prior history just before her PR medical was requested, leaving us overwhelmed and unsure of our next steps. From the moment we met with Mario, Keely, and the team, we felt assured and in expert hands. They guided us through every step with professionalism, patience, and genuine care, especially in addressing the complex medical inadmissibility concerns. Keely’s clear guidance on the mitigation plan and the entire team's dedication made all the difference. Thanks to them, we’ve received our Passport Submission Request for PR. If you're facing an immigration challenge, particularly with medical issues, Bellissimo Law Firm is simply the best. Our deepest gratitude to the whole team for their hard work, compassion, and commitment. Thank you from our entire family!" Thanks to Mario and Keely once again for doing great work and always connecting with me with positive energy during this Journey !

Had a consultation this past week which was extremely helpful-- many answered questions, friendly staff, and prompt email communication. They made a terrifying process seem possible.

Joseph Myatt

Truly worth everything with these guys.I came in with a very complicated case and was so daunted by the whole process. Upon acquiring their services I was immediately calmed. They’re very thorough with their work and let you know exactly what they need to do. I had the pleasure of dealing with Viola Gniadek on my case a lot, and she was nothing short of superb. She handled any question or query we had quickly and promptly. All while doing so with such an amazing attitude. Not to mention she was dealing with it all with opposite sides of the world time zones!Would 110 percent recommend Bellissimo Law group for any immigration help! I tip my hat!

Good service. Lijing and her team were very supportive and put in the time and were accessible online when we needed to make urgent and speedy changes. Once the application was made, it took less than 2 weeks for approval!.

I engaged them for a PRTD case. They were brilliant, extremely detail-oriented, and knew what they were doing at every step.Not just that, the service was impeccable. I am a fussy client, and I asked many painful questions. Michelle was very kind and patient with me throughout this process.Engage them with your eyes closed. You will be in good hands!
