I finally picked the right lawyer for my immigration process

Peter is very professional and responsive, so are his staff. I have engaged him for various services in the past 3 years including H-1B transfer and employment based immigration. He and his staff worked well with the HR director of my employer, which made the process smooth and consistent despite per...sonnel change in his firm.

Extremely knowledgeable, fast and responsive! Peter is the one of the best lawyers in NYC! STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

I needed to get new H1B and get it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Peter was very patient, responsive and helpful throughout this challenging and stressful process. He patiently explained all available options and risks associated with each option. There are a lot of wrong information in internet and even when ...you talk to some "immigration law firms". After talking to Peter, I understood that I was lucky to consult with extremely knowledgeable lawyer, since there are many other misleading sources of information that can screw you up. Anyways, I will STRONGLY RECOMMEND Peter to all my friends/readers who need help regarding Immigration cases. Peter will get it done!

Strongly Recommend!

I highly recommend Peter Jensen for Permanent Residency applications. One of my friends had recommended Peter Jensen to me. His rates are very reasonable. Even though we were not successful on our first attempt, Peter and his team worked very hard on my case and helped me to get my I-140 approved. He... did not charge me a dime to re-file my I-140 application and gave a firm credit as we were unsuccessful the first time. Peter and his team (Erin, Matt and others) were very patient and I never had any issues of communicating with them. They responded to my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. Finally, my wife and I received our Green Cards and I am very happy that we used Peter's help for our Permanent Residency Application. Thank you very much for your help Peter!

Patient, Knowledgeable and Gets the Job Done

I had issues with my TN work authorization and wasn't sure if I would be allowed to continue to stay in the US. I talked to 3 lawyers, two of whom had pessimistic outlooks. Peter suggested a strategy for reapplying for a TN and like he predicted, I got my TN successfully renewed for 3 years. But I...'m not writing just because of a successful result. I'm writing because during the TN application preparation, I would become anxious and Peter was very patient and kind, answering my myriad questions either in person or on the phone. His experience and gentle demeanor were very reassuring during a time of uncertainty for me. Thanks, Peter.

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.
