Outstanding! Beyond categorization!

Over the several years that Chrissy worked with us to acquire a permanent residence visa in the US from Mexico, our experience of her and her team was highly professional, focused and superbly experienced. She guided our painfully detailed application which was accepted by USAIS and then coached us t...hrough the grueling interviews in Ciudad Juarez which resulted in being granted a permanent resident visa. We are now able to visit and support our families in both countries within the requirements of the permanent residency. On an 10 point scale of expertise and performance I rate Chrissy and her incredible support staff a solid 12.

Great Experiance

Chrissie helped my husband, and I navigate through the extremely difficult process of applying for a green card through marriage. Chrissie and her team spent time with us during an initial phone call, outlined the fees very clearly, outlined the process very clearly and then was just a phone call/em...ail away for the rest of the process. We are so grateful for her and her team!

Great experience

Always super helpful, responded promptly to any issues or questions we had. Never felt stressed or overwhelmed in the process. Paper work was filed quickly and efficiently. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer!

Chrissie and her team made our immigration process a breeze. They were always quick and available to respond to any questions or concerns we had about our immigration situation. She was also very thorough and knowledgeable about our case issues. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone in ...need of immigration services!

Heartfelt thanks to Chrissie and her team

I recently had need of legal representation on immigration matters, and was very fortunate to be able to secure the services of Chrissie Fernandez. Her knowledge of rules and procedures was spot on, and she guided me and my wife through all the necessary steps with unfailing accuracy, to the point t...hat the application was successful. Beyond that, I always felt that her professional skills were guided by a personal concern for our feelings and queries. She, and her associates, always made us feel that we could ask for clarifications, and we always got prompt and apt replies. I have no hesitation in recommending her in the highest terms.

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.
