Immigration advice session

The session was efficient, the lawyer was well informed and was honest about this she needed to fact check. I did not feel like she was selling me more time, so all in all I am a very happy customer and will definitely use avvo again in the future if I need to.

Immigration query post DUI

Disna was very through in her advice to me and provided me a detailed letter to support my visa interview post DUI arrest. Her recommendation certainly played a key role since I got my H1B visa stamped without much hassle. I also found her prompt in her response and very case / example based oriented.... Overall I think she provided me an excellent advice. Thanks, UJ

Immigration Advice

Although I had very short conversation with Ms.Disna about family immigration I found she was very thorough, informative and helpful. She knew all the relevant laws top of her head. Her answers were very specific and accurate to the point. I would recommend anyone to her as an immigration lawyer.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

I had the privilege of getting advice from Disna Weerasinghe when filing for my mother’s green card. She was very knowledgeable, prompt, professional, and courteous. Without Disna’s advice, obtaining the green card approval in a very short time span would not have been possible (especially with the ...numerous complications with my mother’s documents). Disna exhibited a calm demeanor throughout the process which put us at ease. We had many questions, and Disna was always willing to listen and respond to us in a timely manner with her vast knowledge base. She guided us through every step meticulously. I would highly recommend Disna’s immigration services. Her ability to navigate the complex maze of immigration with both professionalism and competency makes her an excellent attorney.

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.
