"Denise Hammond is an expert when it comes to the arcane rules and regulations of obtaining visas. She is single-minded in her focus and determined in achieving the goal. She is creative and resourceful. She knows all the players. A day won't go by without your hearing from Denise with an update, an idea, a breakthrough. There is no one better at what she does."
-Mary McAuliffe, Vice President - External Relations (ret'd), Union Pacific Railroad, http://www.up.com/.

"Since 1987, we have been using Hammond Immigration for all our employee immigration requirements. During that period we have jointly dealt with immigration requirements from ALL continents except Antarctica! The detailed diligence and follow through of Hammond Immigration has insured success on all our cases. We would be a much smaller firm today without the professional help and guidance of Hammond Immigration."

“Working with Denise and her team was one of my best decisions over the recent years! Her approach is professional, knowledgeable, and practical. Her firm has performed work for me personally and for my company. As a CEO, I hire numerous lawyers of varied specialties. I know a great attorney when I find one. I consistently recommend her services to my colleagues and friends. And that really says it all.”

"The Ecological Society of America is very pleased with the legal work done by Denise Hammond in helping our employees who require H-1B visas in order to work with the Society here in Washington. We asked Denise for assistance in recruiting an editor from Great Britain for our new international journal, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. Not only was the editor the very best candidate hired, but the journal is an extraordinary success! As the Society's Director of Administration, it is particularly important to me that Denise has always been there when I needed her and usually on short notice."
-Elizabeth Biggs, CFO & Director of Administration, Ecological Society of America, Inc., http://www.esa.org/.

"When I was driving to Denise Hammond’s Law Office for my first consultation, I have been embracing myself for a time-, nerves-, and efforts-consuming challenge of getting a green card lasting by my expectation for at least three years to come. An hour of interview past with myself telling my education and employment stories, and I have been truly amazed to realize that at the end of our talk Denise has already drafted a solid strategy of working with my case. Within next week the case road-map had been finalized which reduced the trouble of collecting the supporting documents, to running down the check-box list, making required calls and sending the appropriate requests. Denise was on the top of it literally 24/7 with her awful ability to multi-task, working with reference letters, coordinating the case drafting, instructing recommenders to the style and content of their support materials.
My colleagues going through the similar immigration procedure were ceaselessly complaining about difficulties to get hold of their legal counselors. I was totally unaware of this problem; Denise returned each and every of my communications within an hour I left a message or sent a mail! Should I say now that my I-140 got an approval stamp on it barely fifty days after we submitted the petition?? Denise kept providing me her highly efficient and professional advices at subsequent steps of status adjustment and INS interview process. No questions, without Denise’s assistance my path to the permanent residency status would be much longer and way more frustrating and thorny."
