Multi-National Organizations
“Kollmorgen is a large corporation with diverse needs when it comes to immigration legal matters, and we have come to rely on the team at Taylor & Ryan for their professionalism, consistency, and knowledge sharing. When you work with Taylor & Ryan, there’s a personal touch. I always get a response to inquiries within 24 hours, and they are proactive in providing me with critical information on changes in regulation that may affect our business. Many times, they will go so far as to talk through scenarios of what might happen in particular cases so that we can plan strategically for our business. Their team ranks in the very top tier of all of our corporate business relationships, and I would highly recommend Taylor & Ryan not only for their specialty in immigration legal matters, but as a true partner that looks out for their clients’ best interests every step of the way.”
“At Allegis Group, we hire hundreds of thousands of temporary workers across our business groups — compliance is critical. Taylor & Ryan had a deep understanding of our business and helped us think through highly complex immigration scenarios as a true strategic extension of our team. They went far above and beyond to provide a hands-on, in-the-trenches partnership paired with an unparalleled level of knowledge in immigration matters. Their highly skilled, talented lawyers did all of this with a personal touch, cultivating great relationships across the board to ensure optimal results.”
Healthcare and Medical
“The Johns Hopkins University Medical Institution has a lot of moving parts with many complex immigration matters across the medical campus, including those for the hospital and health systems as well as the University’s Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing. While immigration matters may be unpredictable in nature, I have absolute confidence that no matter what the complexity of the issue, the Taylor & Ryan team will provide us with expert counsel and walk us through every step of the process so that the best result is achieved.
With a decentralized organization like Johns Hopkins, institutional knowledge is critical to securing results. Taylor & Ryan understands this and knows our system from the inside out. They have incredible integrity, and their willingness to field questions at a moment’s notice is unrivaled. Beyond their unparalleled legal expertise, they are also down-to-earth people with whom you want to do business because they care about not only what they do, but each person on our team as an individual. They handle each interaction with respect and compassion, and I cannot imagine working with a different firm for our immigration legal needs. I have the utmost confidence in the Taylor & Ryan team and would recommend them highly.”
“As a cutting-edge teaching hospital renowned for top-flight medical professionals, St. Agnes Hospital has come to appreciate the consistent, thorough, and highly responsive relationship we have with Frances Taylor and the team of immigration legal experts at Taylor & Ryan. They provide us with timely, relevant updates combined with reliable strategic counsel on the best course of action to take to achieve our business goals. From big picture policy and legislative guidance and education, to on-the-ground tactics and hand-holding, Taylor & Ryan provides a true partnership that is extraordinary to find in today’s marketplace. I know they are looking out for us and our interests, and I would highly recommend Taylor & Ryan for expert immigration legal counsel.”
Academic
“As a growing and evolving academic institution, Loyola University has come to appreciate the true partnership we have with the team at Taylor & Ryan. While their online case management system is easy to use and the forms are all readily available for seamless filing, what I have really come to value is that they take the time to explain complex regulations and procedures that are often less than intuitive. We have confidence in their counsel and find them to be such a pleasure to work with – like an extension of the Loyola University community, I know that Taylor & Ryan truly cares about us.”
“Taylor & Ryan has provided immigration legal services to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) for about the past 7 years. The nature of our work requires specialized scientific knowledge from a limited number of potential candidates in a worldwide employee market place. Our ability to rely on the expertise of Taylor & Ryan has greatly enhanced our ability to recruit top quality scientists, many of whom require complex immigration and legal support. Additionally, we count on the offices of Taylor & Ryan to keep us current on potential changes and actual trends to immigration law and procedures.”
Research and Scientists
“For someone who is a professional researcher and puts in very long work days, Taylor & Ryan is the ideal immigration law firm. They are true professionals, very efficient, and provide you with access to an online secure database to facilitate your case. I had concerns about being able to maintain my overseas conference schedule while going through the green card process, but Taylor & Ryan was incredibly responsive to my needs and I had Advance Parole secured in a matter of weeks. I would highly recommend Taylor & Ryan – their team understands the specific needs of academic researchers and the larger complexities of immigration law.”
“Mary and her staff were able to help us quickly navigate the requirements for permanent residence status. They were professional and courteous and helped us stay on track for document preparation through personal contact and excellent software that helped us manage the application through all phases. The end result was an application that was approved within weeks of filing. I could not have been more impressed.”
“My husband and I both were applying for permanent residency on our own, so we needed to build our case based on the importance of our work. He works for Johns Hopkins University, and I’m an astronomer doing instrument calibration and user support for the Space Telescope Science Institute. Given the broad-reaching impact of my work with the Hubble Telescope, it was important that letters of support from fellow scientists clearly and powerfully explained how this work affects the larger scientific community. The Taylor & Ryan team were integral to helping me build my case and providing me with guidance on how to obtain letters of recommendation for maximum impact, all while answering our questions clearly and promptly and guiding us through every step of the complicated process. Having friends who have gone through this process with other attorneys and not had a good experience, we have been thrilled with Taylor & Ryan’s unrivaled, prompt, professional, and personalized level of service. We have recommended them to numerous colleagues, and would do so again.”
“I have a lot of experience in working with immigration attorneys, and I wholeheartedly recommend the superb services and counsel of Mary Ryan and the team at Taylor & Ryan — they truly rise to the top of their field. After holding a J-1 and three O-1 visas and now, thanks to Mary, a Green Card, I understand that there are a lot of things that have to go right in order to achieve the immigration status you desire in the United States. What sets Mary apart from other good lawyers is that she cares and she listens, then creatively approaches your unique and individual situation to achieve your specific needs. The approach cannot be just filling in forms and following the regular processes and procedures because there are so many variables to be considered. Mary and her team do an exceptional job of strategically maneuvering through the administrative process — at all levels — to achieve the best results. I received my O-1 visa in a matter of weeks and my Green Card in seven months. While my results may not be typical, they speak to the commitment Taylor & Ryan has to getting things done on behalf of their clients.”
Nonprofit and Arts
“Instead of using clay, paint, tools and brushes, Mary Ryan uses the law to create something truly beautiful out of something that would otherwise be a mess. She understands the unique flavor that international artists bring to our community to enhance its richness, intensity and vigor. Baltimore Clayworks and the artistic community locally, regionally, and globally have deeply benefited from her mastery of immigration law, as well as her creativity and passion for art and the multitude of people it serves to uplift, invigorate, and inspire. She has given her time to keep some of the world’s leading artists engaged in the Baltimore Clayworks community. One of the things I most admire about Mary is her ability to generate trust so easily among people who may otherwise be marginalized in our society. Based on her vast experience in immigration law and her genuine love of what she does, she anticipates, plans, reacts, and responds so that the very best case can be built to achieve the best possible outcome. Working with Mary has made us a better organization and more relevant for our community, and has saved the lives of numerous artists along the way. Her strategic guidance has helped us to generate even greater recognition in th international community as a go-to place for ceramic artists around the globe.”
