We contacted Clare about my immigration status, knowing that we were a fringe case. I'd been here about twenty, entered legally but remained (long!) past my due departure date. Without being too personal, we're a bit of an odd couple and with a child between us, we were extremely worried about what future would be in store for us. Even with the situation being as it was, and our near total lack of knowledge about the immigration process, we weren't turned away from Aloha Immigration. In fact, we were given some very helpful advise and direction, even before being accepted, or having paid a single dime. It's a business, certainly, but in our experience at least, it's a business that put people first. Myself, I was very disorganized and because of that, I ended up causing a lot of delays in getting our forms processed. At first, I worried over being cut loose for being so unreliable, but as the year wore on... it never happened. Actually, when I tried to apologize for the delays, I was basically shushed and told, genuinely, that it isn't a problem. I'm sure it was frustrating for Clare and her staff, but there was never a terse word or sarcastic comment. No hint of frustration, annoyance or belittlement. The paperwork was no doubt very routine for them, but there was an understanding that we had absolutely no idea what to do and given the political climate (at the time of this posting at least), we were rather frightened of the prospect of what would happen with our family. When it came time for our interview, we'd had our face to face meeting and talked about the case. Moreover, we got to know each other as people, beyond just business. The interview itself, something I'd been dreading, was... easy. It was easy. I'd been prepared about what to expect, my wife was reassured and we walked in with confidence. Everything, absolutely every single thing from the time we walked into the building, went exactly how she said it would. It gave me a lot of confidence in the advice we'd been given, that she could walk us through the entire process from start to finish, without even needing to flip open a book or reference some papers. What stood out to me the most during the interview, was that she came across so cool and casual about everything, but whenever I'd glance over at her, she was scanning books, papers and notes being passed around the table, what was signed and interjecting precisely as needed, without being obtrusive or challenging about it. She was very professional, personable, but razor sharp and it was hard not to be impressed by it. It was mentally reinforcing having someone there with us, who had the presence of an experienced veteran... in a system that, in my opinion, is designed to stymie progress and scare people away. I had only limited interaction with her supporting staff, but they seemed on point whenever we did. My case was resolved successfully and I now have a green card. It isn't enough to say I'm satisfied with the results; I worried for years about being separated from my family and what would happen to them without me. I am grateful in a way words can't articulate, and Clare has earned the respect and friendship of my family. I absolutely recommend her and her staff to anyone staring down the intimidating and confusing immigration system. You'll be in good hands and most importantly, treated like human beings. Like people who matter. read more

We received the amazing and utmost professional service from Clare Hanusz, Attorney At Law. Clare assisted us with our immigration case. Clare not only helped us when I was in Hawaii, but also whilst in Mexico. In spite of the distance, she meticulously and accurately assisted us with all the elaborate and extensive paper work required in order to get our petition approved. She was our attorney during the entire ordeal, over a span of about three years. Clare and her thorough knowledge; positively transformed our lives forever. I cannot thank her enough for all she's done.

We knew Claire from before we decided to start the legal process to become American citizens. Even though we had not previously interacted with her in the professional realm, we knew her as a neighbor and had complete trust in her skills and honesty as a lawyer. Claire did not disappoint us once the legal process started. Quite the opposite, we experienced her broad knowledge of the immigration law, and witnessed her high moral standards both as a lawyer and as a person. At all times she showed interest in and commitment to our case, with a remarkable capacity to listen, and willingness to always answer all of our questions. Thus, thanks to her our citizenship legal process was quick and easy and had a happy ending. She is great! Thanks so much Claire! Tamara Ticktin y Gustavo de la Pena Conocíamos a Claire desde antes que decidieramos aplicar por la ciudadanía americana y, aunque no nos habíamos relacionado con ella en el ámbito profesional, teníamos de antemano plena confianza en sus capacidades y honestidad como abogada. Y Claire NO nos decepcionó. Por el contrario, en nuestras interacciones durante el proceso legal, además de confirmarnos su amplio conocimieno de la ley en materia de migración, pudimos ser testigos de su alta calidad moral como abogada y como persona. Claire mostró en todo momento compromiso e interés en nuestro proceso de ciudadanización, además de una gran capacidad de escucha y disposición para atender inclusive en extra horas a nuestras preguntas. Así, ella se mantuvo en todo momento al tanto del desarrollo del proceso y hasta el final, cuando con su valiosa ayuda obtuvimos ambos nuestros certificados de ciudadanía. Muchas gracias Claire read more

I am a Japanese citizen, live on Maui. I hired Clare to help me prepare an I-751 application. The quality of the service I received was excellent at every stage during the process. I had hired a different lawyer at first and my case got in trouble. I contacted a few different immigration lawyers, and she answered every questions I had on my mind. She is very knowledgeable and assuring, eased my worries and made me comfortable. She can tell that she actually cares her client's feelings and what we go through as an immigrant and I chose her over other lawyers I also contacted. She provided me with a detailed checklist of all the supporting material required for my application. As I worked on collecting the supporting material, she was very helpful and responded quickly to all my questions. Once I had gathered the supporting documents,  she submitted all the necessary applications and documents. This was backed-up by a complete, well organized and tabbed binder of evidence that Clare also put together for me. And my application was approved! It is clear to me that I was able to keep peace of mind through this process because of Clare's skill and conscientious hard work. Thank you Clare! read more

I recently went through the process of obtaining a Green Card, and then eventually Citizenship to the US through my marriage to a US Citizen. Clare and Aloha Immigration were amazing advocates and supporters for us, guiding us through the entire process smoothly. Clare attended our Marriage Green Card interview, and because of her preparation with us in advance, knowledge of the process, knowledge of the individual Officers, and her years of experience, it made the whole experience a lot less stressful. Having her in the room acting as our support to keep things on track, was extremely helpful. Then when it was time for my Citizenship interview, she was there again to answer some of the Officer's questions about forms, to insist they were filed and present (which they were) and to act on my behalf when needed. Clare deeply cares and will be your advocate, I cannot recommend her and Aloha Immigration more highly. It was such an honor to have her standing with me as I was sworn in as a US Citizen. Thank you Aloha Immigration! Geoffrey read more

Clare Hanusz was our attorney for my husband's immigration case during the years of 2007-2009.

She was a key character in my husband's immigration case and his petition's approval. read more

I needed some advice on the immigration procedures for my husband and Clare was extremely quick to return my phone call and email and gave me a ton of advice about the procedure. Including timeline, forms to fill, and answered some of my more personal questions. She is very honest, even telling me that she didn't think my situation needed professional assistance, but of course that she would be more than happy to assist and gave me her pricing options. Very happy with her help and would definitely recommend to anyone else needing help. read more
