in good hands

I worked with Lesley on getting a permanent residency in the US (aka green card). There are a lot of forms, supporting documentation, lots of other info to gather and she guided us through it quite smoothly. The process of applying for a green card can be stressful and full of uncertainty - Lesley wa...s great at instilling confidence in her and in our application case, we felt and knew we were in good hands. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

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.
