Alicia R Kinsman's Lawyer Endorsements
"Over the last eight years, I have been consistently impressed by Attorney Kinsman’s advocacy on behalf of her clients and found her to be both knowledgeable and effective in her practice of immigration law."
"Alicia is not only a phenomenal attorney, but a wonderful supervisor, colleague and person. She has a wealth of knowledge regarding immigration law, including everything from family-based cases to humanitarian relief to grounds of inadmissibility. She also has significant expertise in handling victim-based cases, including Us, Ts, and VAWA petitions. Alicia is a zealous advocate for her client, and she is also deeply compassionate and empathetic. As evidenced by the close, trusting relationships her clients have with her, she is able to put her clients at ease and ensure they feel comfortable speaking openly about difficult topics. Additionally, Alicia is an outstanding teacher and public speaker, with an innate ability to present complex, fact-heavy information in an accessible, digestible manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alicia to anyone looking for a professional, highly skilled attorney whose huge breadth of experienced is rivaled only by her equally large heart."
