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!

''MUCHAS GRACIAS''

After visiting a couple of lawyers, I was recommended by a friend to work my O-1 Artist visa case with Jensen & Jensen. Out of all of the other lawyers I met Jensen & Jensen was the most prepared, honest and fast of them all. Immediately I knew I could trust them and right away started working with t...hem. I am very thankful that I got my O-1 visa approved and exhort anyone to trust them. Special thanks to Erin Yang for always being so responsive, informative and always willing to help with what she can. I can't thank you enough.

Very Knowledgeable Lawyer

Peter has been my immigration lawyer since 2006. He handled 4 of my H1B and green card applications. There were some bumps here and there, but overall my cases went pretty smoothly. Like many lawyers in NYC, Peter is VERY busy, so it’s quite difficult to reach him unless if you make an appointment wi...th him. His paralegals are actually the ones that works on all the cases, and he'll do the final review. Some paralegals that I’ve worked with are more responsive than others, but usually they'll respond within 1-2 business days. They’re usually quite on top of your case and knowledgeable. Since I hired Peter for my past 4 H1Bs and have pretty good experience with his firm overall, I decided to hire him again to work on my Green Card application. He appointed his lawyer Laurie Gu to work on my case. She is extremely knowledgeable and super super friendly. Because of the furlough in 2013 and my H1B expiring date approaching, I was very nervous. She helped me along the way and I couldn't be more thankful!

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.
