Excellent Lawyer

This lawyer was very good. She always kept in contact and assured me that my case would be closed soon. She also worked with great confidence and intelligence and knew exactly what she was doing. The process was very smooth and stable.

Best Immigration Attorney, My Green card was granted 2 days ago!

I’m celebrating that 2 days ago I was granted my Green Card, thanks to the great representation by Jacobson & Han LLC. Ms. Gilbert, Ms. Han and their team were very knowledgeable since the beginning on how they were going to represent me in court despite how complicated my case was. With the complica...ted immigration system that the United States has, you would be crazy to attempt to represent yourself in court without Ms. Gilbert and Ms. Han. They helped lay case precedence since the initial court hearing and despite the arguments that the U.S. Attorney and the Judge had Ms. Han & Ms. Gilbert fought to use case precedence which made the difference in ultimately convincing the Judge and U.S. Attorney to grant my Permanent Residency. Ms Gilbert and her office staff besides being pleasant and organized are very experienced and knowledgeable about immigration law and were able to help resolve all legal issues presented to them in my case. They were also prompt in responding to me anytime I had questions. When my immigration matter was out of my hands Ms. Han & Ms. Gilbert and their team were there until my status was resolved. They helped me find my path to the American Dream when I thought there was no more hope. They are trustworthy and explain matters thoroughly, and answer questions in an understandable way. I continue to highly recommend Jacobson & Han to whoever is looking for an honest and knowledgeable immigration lawyers to handle any immigration matter.

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.
