Ann Buwalda is professional and the best

I want to share my experience with Annigje Johanna Buwalda and her law firm, Just Law International. She successfully handled my case last year, and my asylum was granted. I can't say enough but want to mention a few points. the attorney is intelligent, highly knowledgeable and has a deep underst...anding of immigration laws. Second, she works very hard to present and explain your case in the best possible way. she is extremely detail-oriented.every document and file is carefully prepared and well-organized. Her assistant, Ms. Allysa, is intelligent, and precise, and she completes everything quickly as possible.She ensures that everything is handled quickly and accurately. I am truly grateful for their helps and supports. Q

Adel Messeh Appreciation for Annigje

In handling my case as well as cases for so many of my friends whom I referred to her office, Ms. Annigje showed a high degree of professionalism and experience in handling the cases while keeping us aware of our choices and the progress every step of the way. I always counted on her opinion and re...commendations to choose among alternative legal choices. Ann's efforts were instrumental in achieving my goals and seeing the asylum case to tis successful conclusion.

  • 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.
