Grateful for the help!

Thank you, Attorney Pinnix, for all your help with our green cards! God chose you to fight our battles, and we made it! It was a tough time for us, and I thank the Lord for your hard work, encouragement, and professionalism during my case. May God continue to bless you as you are a blessing to us and... others. All the best!

Mr. Pinnix and his staff are the number one team to hire!

If you want resolution and progress with your immigration case, Mr. Pinnix and his staff are the number one team to hire. We tried other lawyers, but they could not bring us to the finish line.

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.
