Professor

The past two years of my life has brought me much pain and suffering. However, my faith, family, friends and my defending counsel, Shannon LaGuerre- Maingrette were a source of encouragement for me. Dr. Martin Luther king Jnr, spoke of the redemptive quality of unearned suffering and I must say I was... redeemed. Ms. LaGuerre-Maingrette had a renewed sense of purpose as my lawyer and it really took a mountain off my back and has allowed me to regain that sense of enthusiasm that I had coming all the way from my formative years in high school through to University. All the things that I have ever worked tirelessly to protect were plunged within the space of three months at the edge of a sharp cliff. My wildest dream came to pass when I was incarcerated behind bars without sufficient knowledge and falsely accused of committing immigration fraud. An experience that I had scarcely imagined came to pass leaving me bewildered, melancholy, flabbergasted and torn. All my accomplishments, dreams and aspirations felt like a distant past with little or no way of rebounding. Consequently, I said to myself, here goes a brilliant, hardworking, articulate and success driven black Jamaican immigrant being falsely accused and emotionally tortured before the USCIS. I shudder whenever I paused to think about what may befall me thousands of miles away from my homeland among complete strangers who have no idea of the impeccable academic and social standing I enjoyed back home. My family, academic colleagues, students, friends and past institutions of studies were constantly in my mind as I grapple with the distress and pressure of this most unwarranted and unexpected development. Mrs. LaGuerre-Maingrette winning my case has averted a bad situation that could have resulted in a black young Jamaican with unlimited potential from ending up behind bars far away from families and well-wishers. I would unreservedly recommend her to defend you! She is a stalwart in the Immigration justice system. She was tremendous at the trial and she ensured that at the end of the day the end result was in my favor. Shannon is a great counsel and I will always owe her a depth of gratitude for her invaluable act of defense and help. Her unparalleled expertise is unquestionable and she has an insatiable appetite for justice to be rightly served. The best immigration lawyer around town.

Great lawyer and I would commend Shannon.

Before we ( my sister and I) met Shannon we had other lawyers who did nothing for us but charged us lots of money. So when we met shannon we were worried about the same thing happening again but that was not the case. Shannon had helped me with my case which was completed due to the OTHER lawyer. She... has answered all my question and she's very kind and have lots of patience. Anyways long story short, she has helped me all the way and now I'm a green card holder. I do commend Shannon You would not regret it, she's honest and understandable.
