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.

Amazing result

I was being helped by Peter Jensen regarding to my Artist Visa. I was originally planning for an O-2 visa but things suddenly changed, and he and his staff were very patient but quick and accurate about changing my documents to O-1 visa. They knew what I needed to get my visa, and informed me with cl...ear oral explanation and paper document. They seemed to be perfect, and all we needed to add was things from my side and a luck. The result was fantastic. After sending my documents, visa was approved in 15 days as USCIS announced, and lawfirm staff would continuously announce me with the process and the result. I have not found anything to complain, which is very rare to find when working with people that I have no experience of working together. That could mean they are very close to being perfect. Two thumbs up.

O1 visa

I have recently got O-1visa through Jensen and Jensen. I had consultations with a couple of lawyers, and Peter was very honest and knowledgeable. Other lawyers told me that I would probably not get the visa or even could not due to my complicated situation, however, Peter and Yumi made it. He succes...sfully strategized and maximized the chance to get it along with constant support and explanation with Yumi. Thank you so much!

I recommend Jensen and Jensen

I am very happy with Jensen Jensen. I recommend Ms Laurie she is patient and knowledgable .She helped me out when my h1b and H14 got complicated. She worked efficiently in a short amount of time, accepting suggestions , handing out my application. I received my approved just between a few days wit...h premium process. The same goes with Ms Erin, she is patient and kind, she spend time on the phone explaining all the details regarding my case, when I first started the H1 process. Thanks you!

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.
