Excellent And Considerate Service

Ms. Erin was our attorney/client manager and processed our L1a and green card cases. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable, precise on her advice whenever we were in need of assistance. We were extremely happy with her services and strongly recommend her for those who are in need of any immigratio...n-related support. Last, but not least, thank you, Erin. It has been the pleasure cooperating with you.

H1B transfer case

I had quite a challenging case for my H1B transfer with one of the worst RFEs that one can get. Peter was very knowledgeable and could explain the situation in simple terms yet is realistic about the possible negative outcome of my case. Peter and his team went above and beyond to get the positive re...sult for my case and did not charge me a dollar extra for all the extra time that they had to spend on it. My H1B was approved and I am beyond grateful to Peter Jensen and his colleagues!

Jensen & Jensen

Many of us who have gone through the process of obtaining a Visa, whether you are the petitioner of petitionee, understand what a grueling process this is. After months of research and several lawyer interviews, we decided to select Jensen & Jensen as our attorney. I am a business man and young... entrepreneur. I am also very straight forward and a no bullsh*t type of individual. My first meeting with Peter, I soon realized he was the same way. Peter was able to answer my questions in a clear and concise manner. He was able to read my distress and offered guidance with options on how to best maneuver through this process. Peter was very well informed and showed a confidence which allowed me to immediately trust him. You should all know, I had not paid Peter any monies yet. All I knew was that this is the type of person I would like to put my trust in about a future employee who I truly valued. After hiring Jensen & Jensen, we worked directly with Erin Yang & Laurie Gu. Peter was available for meetings and questions as requested. Although, most of my contact was with these two. FYI, I'm the type of individual who constantly has questions. I require knowledge and answers when needed, in order to anticipate the what may or may not come. Some may find it annoying, but I need to understand to make the best decisions. This could also be perceived as hand holding. Well....Laurie and Erin held my hand and were absolutely amazing about it. They walked me through the process explaining each step of the way. They answered all new questions without hesitation. And they also accommodated my meeting requests. Their professionalism is stellar. Their attention to my needs are unwavering. And their knowledge and expertise is abundant. I am truly happy with the service I received from Team Jensen. I have an approved Visa. And most importantly, I have the person I want sitting right next to me who I couldn't imagine building my business without. The end.

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.

I highly recommend this lawyer

I am not surprised to read the previous reviews, i've learned that people can have dramatically different experiences with lawyers. I just obtained my greencard with peter and the process was smooth and painless. I got it 5 months earlier than expected. A colleague of mine is using him as well and he...r process is taking for ever, though i believe this is not peter's fault, but how the system sometimes work. I had other lawyers before, including one that served many celebrities and was totally useless to me. After him another lawyer that would write applications in such way that they would be audited, tgus delaying the whole process. Peter carefully studied my case and also corrected his predecessors mistkes. I am very pleaaed with the reaults. This said, i recommend you to be on his case, as you would be with any lawyer, just to make sure papers do not stay sitting not even one minute. Good luck to all.
