MEET ELIZABETH
Business Immigration
Running my own law firm for years has taught me just how much every single hire matters — not just to your bottom line, but to your culture, your reputation, and your ability to grow. Finding the right person for the right role can be transformative. Yet today’s local labor markets often don’t have enough qualified candidates. That’s where business immigration comes in — allowing you to reach beyond borders to bring extraordinary talent into your business.
We represent our business immigration clients in:
- Workplace Immigration Enforcement
- Business related visas Including H-1B. L-1, E-1, E-2, E-3, O-1, TN, B-1, H-2B, EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, and EB-5.

KIND WORDS
FROM OUR CLIENTS
A WRONGFULLY CONVICTED CASE
“The Supreme Court let me go…”
In 2008, I was convicted of homicide by child abuse and sentenced to 35 years in prison. My case ended up in the appellate defense office. I felt so hopeless at that time. It was only 2008, and my release date wasn’t until 2039.
Mrs. Best kept in constant contact with me through letters and was very encouraging when I spoke with her on the phone while in prison at Camille Griffin Graham in South Carolina…
I have been free since 2013. If it wasn’t for her and her hard work there’s no way I would be out of prison right now. The Court finally reversed my conviction in 2013…
I repeat the supreme Court let me go!!!! I thank God for her if you’re looking for someone that’s truly going to fight for you, I would highly recommend Mrs. Best you will not be disappointed if you don’t believe this, please look my name up I’m in the wrongfully convicted database.
God used her to help me, and I am forever grateful! Mrs. Best, thank you!!!!! You will be forever in my heart I’ll never forget you!
