This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great and very awesome at her job.

I was a detained by immigration this year, while I was legal resident facing deportation. Her and her team worked hard to get my status back to legal. After a 2 month stay at a detention center she got me out and she saved my life. Always will owe her my lif and respect. Anyone that needs a lawy...er that will work hard for you, should hire her. Thank you and she will always be an Angel in my eyes.

Eileen could not be more helpful

My wife and I happen to come across Eileen when we were just starting to figure out the immigration process. Eileen went out of her way to make sure we understood how the process works and made the whole experience much more relaxed. She was there every step of the way, even kindly reminding us to tr...y get certain paperwork in order while in between steps. We could not recommend Eileen enough as what initial seemed so daunting, flew by all due to Eileen's knowledge and assistance.

Best lawyer

I've never dealt with a lawyer like her! She gave my family peace of mind and security. I don't guarantee she'll give it to everyone but I'm grateful and blessed that she was introduced in our life the time that she was. We will forever be grateful!

BEST IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY I EVER WORKED WITH

Met Eileen during an snow storm when my father was detained by immigration, she took care of all the issues and my father was release right away. Due to some complications of my fathers case he was detained again for a second time and spend additional time in jail. Eileen was very dedicated and deter...minate to get my fathers case approved. Nov 3 2014 immigration judge approved my fathers case and he was release right away. I recommend Eileen to all my friends and every body that I know is in need of an immigration attorney. In my opinion she is the best and takes every case very serious.

Lovely to work with

My company recently retained Ms. Blessinger to conduct consultations for our employees. Ms. Blessinger set aside several days to meet with the employees and identified several who qualify for relief. She respected the employees' rights to confidentiality, was punctual, and most importantly communicat...ed directly with them in Spanish. I highly recommend Ms. Blessinger.

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.
