Looking Back on the Past 4 Amazing Years!

best-law-firm-team-renton-law-office-of-theresa-nguyen

Theresa Nguyen is living the most cliche lawyer dream - the dream of being the underdog fighting for her client's justice and financial compensation against large law firms defending wrongdoing and winning! Ingrained in her is a determination to make a major impact in other's lives and from this fire the Law Office of Theresa Nguyen, PLLC was forged. It was to stand for justice and doing right by others; the expression of the burning fire in her heart ignited by unnecessary discrimination and injustice in her past. It did not destroy or victimized her. In fact, it empowered her to stand by the truth and fight for justice. The past cannot be undone, so it is the present and future she grasps, taking the experiences life gives her and becoming stronger and more capable. To empower herself and others - it is the foundation of which her law firm stands.

I like to began by thanking Theresa, and her entire team at her law firm, I learned a lot about the process of litigating, and that one needs to be or learn how to have patients because the answers do not always come in the time frame that you would like, to me it was long and a hard fight! and I believe it was the same for Theresa and her team they give me strength to say strong and we did prevail, when I saw Theresa photo on her website I saw a honest and caring person, and I am so glad I chose her to represent me in my case when we had set backs I all ways felt that we were still in the game and I when I was down Theresa would remind me that we are still in this game and we we would win! and that there would be a positive outcome thank you so much Theresa and your team sincerely Tommy

I want to thank you all for the expeditious generation of the exclusion letter. Especially considering that I was a new client working with a tight time frame, the response was exceptional. The letter itself was excellent; well written, concise, and referenced. Given the opportunity, I shall certainly recommend your office to anyone needing tax expertise.

We've Moved Our Main Office to the Altitude Business Center!

law-office-theresa-nguyen-1500-benson-rd-south-renton1

March 23rd, 2018 was a special day for our team at the Law Office of Theresa Nguyen, PLLC. It was our last day of operation at Triton Towers Three and we all concluded the work day knowing that next week would be the start of a whole new chapter. After several months of planning and preparation, it was the moment we've all been waiting for - to move into our new, bigger and more private office space!

Almost 3 years ago, Theresa decided to take the dive and hang a shingle; it was truly the only way she could have the freedom to help loved ones and control the quality of service she provides. With the help of Regus, which offers serviced office spaces on the 6th floor of Triton Towers Three in Renton, she was able to get started with minimal infrastructure and overhead. They took care of the furniture, networking, printing, phones and many more, allowing Theresa to focus on solving her client's legal issues.

And that she did - providing her clients with results and service that expressed her commitment to her team, clients and community. It was wonderful and Theresa's solid reputation grew stronger with each passing day. Soon, the demand for her services outgrew her staff and office space. We are grateful for the assistance Regus provided yet we were bursting at the seams and needed to accommodate for the growth.

In order to satisfy the demand, we've doubled our in-house staff and relocated our main office - still in Renton and just minutes from our old location! The move was truly a rite of passage for Theresa and her team. As stressful and costly as it was to get an independent, functional office up and running, it was necessary to continue to provide the level of service our clients are used to.

With the help of our team and their families, the move was completed over just one weekend! We're still settling into our beautiful, new office but it's already operational and our core team members are dialed in and focused on client results and service. Come visit us!

Our address is now:

1500 Benson Rd. South
Suite 203
Renton, WA 98055

What Does an Immigration Attorney Do?

An immigration attorney is a legal professional who specializes in helping individuals navigate the complex and often confusing process of immigrating to a new country. They are responsible for providing guidance, advice, and representation to clients who are seeking to enter or remain in the United States, Canada, or another country.

The role of an immigration attorney begins with the initial consultation. During this meeting, the attorney will meet with the client to discuss their immigration goals and gather any relevant information and documentation. This information will be used to determine the best course of action for the client. Depending on the client's situation, the attorney may suggest a specific visa or immigration program that would be most suitable for them.

5-Star Review on AVVO by Lenore

5-Star Law Firm Review - Renton, WA - AVVO Lenore
I sure wished I would have met Theresa before I hired the lawyers I had. This was a long drawn out case. My previous attorney withdrew from my case two months before the trial. My lawyer advised me to find a contingent lawyer, nobody wanted anything to do with a long complicated case, until I met Theresa. She is not a contingent lawyer but I was very pleased with her help. I had nobody to go to and I was broken. I got down and personal with her, she new in her heart what I was going through and she took me on as a client even though she was busy with all of her clients, she made time for me. I couldn't have done it without her. Theresa is a kind, sweet, down to earth kind of person. I will never forget her and I will always refer her to all my friends

5-Star Review on AVVO by Luis

5-Star Law Firm Review - Renton, WA - AVVO Luis
Theresa helped my wife and I with an incredibly complex and stressful immigration case that resulted in my wife's I-485 (Adjustment of Status) case approved! She's had an immeasurable impact in our lives and we'll always be grateful. We hired Theresa in late 2015 on a set of USCIS applications that required us to work together until February of 2017. She even attended our interview with USCIS in January. Along the way Theresa was always professional and helped us maneuver the complex US immigration system. Thank you Theresa!

Helping an Heir Gain Legal Ownership After Her Mother’s Disappearance - Probate Solution Brings Closure After 15 Years of Uncertainty

When Cathy was just 10 years old, her mother, Debra, vanished under suspicious circumstances. Despite multiple investigations, Debra was never found, and no official declaration of death was ever made. For over 15 years, Cathy and her grandmother continued living in Debra’s home, making mortgage payments and maintaining the property—but without legal ownership, their hands were tied.

Now an adult with a husband and newborn child, Cathy was ready to move on and sell the home that had become both a haven and a painful reminder of the past. However, a critical legal issue stood in her way: the title to the home was still in Debra’s name, and Debra was still legally presumed alive.

I hired Theresa to help my family and I do a real estate title transfer. Theresa did a great job in making sure that the process was quick and easy. It was all taken care of all in one visit. Even nicer, Theresa followed up with me a few weeks later to make sure I've received my documents ok. Now that is good customer service!!

5-Star Law Firm Review - Renton, WA - Google My Business Kim Tien
Even though Theresa specializes in Business and Taxation laws, she even great with Probates! The reason why I didn't choose a Attorney who specialized in probate but her instead is trust. I fully trust in her to represent me in my best interest. She communicates regularly with updates and is easy to get in touch with when needed. My probate wrapped up very quickly than expected! She definately will be my laywer for all law related questions. I highly recommend her!
