A miracle - from start to finish

I have known Kathleen Peregoy for more than 20 years. She brilliantly and succesfully guided me through the complicated and nerve-wracking multi-year process from student work visa to Permanent Resident, and then recently to U.S. citizenship! She and Neil Dornbaum were miracle workers on my case (Na...tional Interest Waiver for the green card), exceptionally knowledgeable on all matters, patient, calming and exceedingly professional every step of the way. I can't say enough, and there's no one else I would recommend for immigration services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
