She's the best immigration lawyer!

I highly recommend Disna to anyone seeking legal help for an immigration matter. Disna assisted us with obtaining a greencard through marriage. She let us know what would be required and what our options were. She kept us informed at every step of the case and went with us to the interview. I found h...er to be very knowledgeable and her calm demeanor allayed our anxieties about the process. We are very grateful for Disna's assistance in keeping our family together.

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.
