FIVE STAR ATTORNEY!

I have lived in America for almost 8 years and have met many Attorneys, but NONE can compare to the competence that Meri S. Ponist, Esq. possesses. Never in my life have I met an attorney more experienced, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. Mr. Ponist emerges herself completely in your case and won’t st...op until a positive outcome is reached. She worries not only about your case and its result, but about you as a whole. My case was very complicated and lengthy and I thought I would never reach a resolve until I walked in to Mrs. Ponists’ office. From the moment I was greeted by the reception I felt a sudden peace and warmth and all my worries and stress from my case had drifted away. Today I am a citizen thanks to Meri S. Ponist, Esq. and her team! I strongly urge people who are in need of Immigration help to seek out The Law Office of Kapikian and Ponist and to trust the team! You will not regret that decision and your case will be victorious!

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.
