Hello to anyone reading this—if you’re looking for an immigration lawyer, stop looking now. Renee and Christine are truly the best. My wife and I wanted to get her green card through her husband (me). Before finding Renee, we spoke with four different immigration lawyers, and every single one told us the same thing: the process would take 5–10 years. It felt discouraging and overwhelming. Renee told us the complete opposite. She explained that once everything was submitted, we should hear back in 8–12 months, which sounded incredible compared to what we had been told. We trusted her, started the process, and just six months later, we received our interview. Shortly after that—we got the green card. The entire process was fast, smooth, and stress-free, honestly smoother than I ever expected. Renee and Christine were professional, knowledgeable, and confident every step of the way. I also want to say this: I initially tried filling out the forms myself, and I do not recommend that at all. Having the right lawyers makes all the difference. 10000% recommend Renee and Christine. If you want results, peace of mind, and honest guidance, these are the lawyers you want.
Renee Hykel is a very sharp, thoughtful and high level lawyer that you want on your side. On two separate occasions she has helped secure a positive outcome and we are grateful to have had her representation. She goes well beyond the typical lawyer who helps fill out paperwork and file everything properly. She creates a cohesive strategy, finds experts, thinks carefully about the best way forward and listens intensely during trial to give you the best possible outcome. There is a reason that she has been nominated into Super Lawyers 5 years in a row and I have seen it first hand. If you are in need of an immigration attorney and want someone that will give you the best chance at a good result, this is the firm.
Our experience with Hykel Law—specifically Immigration Lawyer Renee Hykel Cuddy and Office Manager Erna—was absolutely flawless from start to finish. From the very first meeting, Renee impressed us with her thoroughness and attention to detail. She carefully explained every step of the process in a way that was clear and reassuring, which immediately gave us the confidence to hire her. Throughout our entire case, she was meticulous, realistic, and genuinely dedicated to guiding us toward success. Equally invaluable was Erna, the office manager, who was always just a phone call or email away. She consistently responded promptly to any questions or concerns, and her support gave us tremendous peace of mind. What stood out most was how prepared Renee made us feel. She even devoted an entire session to walk us through the marriage interview process, ensuring that we were ready for every possible question. Thanks to her preparation and guidance, our immigration journey was smooth, straightforward, and free of roadblocks—something we truly credit to her expertise and commitment. Renee came highly recommended to us, and we now understand why. My husband and I both agree wholeheartedly when we say: “Renee is an excellent lawyer!” We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Hykel Law to anyone in need of an immigration attorney. If you are searching for a knowledgeable, caring, and detail-oriented immigration lawyer, look no further than Renee Hykel Cuddy and her team at Hykel Law. They made our immigration journey not only successful but also a truly positive experience.
Absolutely the best immigration attorney ever five stars are too. Few should be 10. We hired Renee on June 10, 2025 and we got our green cards on September 18, 2025. 101 DAYS!!! other attorneys want 8 to 9 months and we’re reluctant. Significant urgency was needed Renee expedited the case due to my wife’s Glioblastoma multiform cancer. As the sponsor for her daughter and grandkids, if my wife were to pass away before the green cards were granted, her daughter and grandkids would be deported with no recourse. Renee did not back away from the challenge but attacked the challenge head on and delivered!!! I would recommend anyone to see what Renee could do for you. We are eternally grateful.❤️
My review is way overdue. I will not go into the details, and it is not necessary. I was looking for an immigration attorney and searched the Internet like crazy for someone to help me with my case. I came across Hykel Law, read some reviews, and took a leap of faith. That, my friends, was THE BEST DECISION I COULD MAKE. Renee and her team are simply THE BEST! If you need an immigration attorney, please don't waste your time looking further! THANK YOU, HYKEL LAW!!!! With much love, Kristine
