Michael Murphy

Bellissimo Immigration are the best at the job! My partner and I are applying for PR on our own, without legal services, but we needed some time with a lawyer to address a few questions. Initially, we chose to go with Bellissimo Immigration, as their consultations were the cheapest we found. In the end, we were so glad to have chosen them! Michelle was our lawyer, and she answered all of our many detailed and niche questions with ease and professionalism. We joked by the end of the consultation that she "had practically made our IRCC profile for us"! Don't hesitate, don't shop around; Bellissimo is the best in town!

I recently had some questions about my Canadian PR application, and consulted with Alexandra G., a Bellissimo lawyer. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. She answered all my questions thoroughly and did not hurry me through the consultation. I was beyond impressed, and would never hesitate to use or recommend Bellissimo -- and I used to be a US immigration lawyer myself!
