Were zero stars an option...

This woman is running a racket and has no sense of organization or integrity. She has no problem lying about what she and her office have or have not done and I have it all in writing which is incredible that a professional attorney and grown woman would resort to such measures. I was dealing with he...r for 9 months trying to help my mother get US citizenship after Henner was recommended to me by my aunt (mom's sister) after having a smooth experience with her own process. Susan's office seems to have extremely fast turnover and every time I received any email from them (which was only in response to when I would reach out first) it was from somebody new and therefore I had to provide the information over and over again. Now Susan is claiming that I ignored her office's numerous attempts to contact me over the months that my paperwork was not submitted and that she has ample proof of this. Now that I've asked her for all this proof, she discharged me as a client and threatened to take action about harassment. So no proof, no results, just straight up lies and delusion. What a horrifying experience.

Ella: I am sorry you were not happy with our services. As you are aware, you were not able to provide us with the documents we requested from you. Your mom could not provide the documents we requested as they did not exist. We filed your mom's based on what you presented and additional documents were requested - as you failed to provide what was requested. We have indeed provided to you copies and proof of everything requested and filed. Sometimes if you do not have proof and documents, we are not able to assist every client. I wish you the best of luck.

Excellent Immigration counsel

I have known Ms. Henner for nearly 20 years. She possesses tremendous knowledge of immigration law, including criminal matters and asylum. I have referred clients to her in the past and all were extremely pleased with her services. She is an excellent immigration lawyer and has helped clients to g...et visas and residency, as well as to avoid deportation.

Excellent professional and person

Ms. Henner has taken care of my entire immigration process with grace, professionalism, commitment and pride. She has been available for phone calls and emails and was also able to explain the terms and conditions of next steps necessary for my case to succeed. What's very important is her attention ...to detail and thoroughness and in-depth knowledge of the U.S. immigration law. This well-experienced attorney is definitely trustworthy and I would recommend contacting her office to any person who is serious of his / her future in this great country. Surely, Susan is the best attorney I have ever known and worked with.

She knows her stuff!

I have been asked for immigration attorneys in my role in Human Resources and have found that Ms. Henner is always gotten the highest ratings from the people I have referred. The fact that she speaks Spanish has put some of the referrals at ease but the fact that she can answer their questions and he...lp with all their immigrations issues is what they seem to like best!

Immigration Attorney

Ms. Henner was an excellent attorney. My company first used her in order to obtain an H1B visa for an employee. Then, we used her again to obtain green cards for several employees. She was always helpful and responsive about the cases and she knew the law well. We would highly recommend her to ot...hers.

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.
