Janeen is the best Immigration attorney

My name is Carlos De Wekker I am a citizen from Venezuela nowadays living as a permanent resident in the state of South Carolina in the United States My immigration process was rather difficult. I tried so many different immigration lawyers and spent thousands of dollars for so many years without be...ing able to accomplished anything. It felt like my case had no solution. None of the many lawyers I tried could help me and give me real solutions to my situation. It came to a point that I was in deportation proceedings. I thought my days in the United States were over. I was ready to go back to Venezuela (I had the air plain ticket already purchased to return to my country) But somehow, I decided to wait for a few more months, try one more time and I started looking for lawyers in a very reputable immigration firm located in North Carolina, I was so very lucky to find N.C. Board Certified Specialist in Immigration Law Mrs. Janeen Hicks Pierre, I decided to have a phone interview with her and ever since then my extremely difficult case began to turn around. Janeen is so incredibly smart and knowledgable. Janeen thought out the best approaches to my case and came out with the best ideas. Steadily with her guidance my immigration status began to change and I went from being a few steps from being deported from the United States to my actual status which as I mentioned above is being a legal permanent resident of the United States. I have no words to thank Janeen for all she has done for me. She is the best immigration attorney you could find and I hope she can represent me in my next step which it would be the application to become a citizen of this wonderful country.

A Blessing To Have Her Help My Family

Close friends of my wife and I recommended that we use Janeen. I believe this was in late 2013. Janeen has been a huge help for my wife and I. She helped my wife get her green card which has been a breath of fresh air for our family. Janeen is quick to respond. Very helpful. We ask a lot of questions.... She has never made us feel as if we are bugging her or if our time is not important to her. She really has been a blessing to our family. I'm really grateful our close friends recommending her services to us. Even though we currently live out of North Carolina, she still has been able to help us. I lie to you not. There were times really late at night and very early in the morning when she has still been communicating with us and has been of service. She really goes out of her way to help her clients. What I like most is that I feel she actually cares. It feels as if her services and the extent she is willing to go provide her help comes from her heart. That's why we will be continuing to use her in the near future. My wife and I definitely aren't going to use another immigration attorney. She gives us a comfort that is very peaceful and assuring. Janeen also is very efficient. She makes us feel as if she's another family member even though she is a licensed attorney. She has never made us feel uncomfortable or scared. We had another immigration lawyer prior to Janeen. That lawyer was not as seasoned as Janeen. We did not feel confident in the other lawyer's abilities. From the first day we worked with Janeen, we have always had confidence that she would help us...and she always has. We have used Janeen's service twice. We will definitely use her services again.

I call Janeen Jihan Hicks Pierre, DE GREATEST

Janeen is DE GREATEST because she has reached the highest achelon in my review of all Immigation Attorneys in America. She has an unsurpassed conciensousness, dedication, and diligence in her pursuits. She goes after her case like she is possessed with a desire for perfction. Janeen is honest, very k...nowledgeable of the immigration laws and has demonstrated that she is highly family orientated. Alongside and above all, Janeen is a very nice person.

Helpful, Caring, and Professional!

If you are looking for an immigration attorney that will work her hardest for you and make your case a priority, then look no further. Janeen is by far the best immigration lawyer because she is not only helpful and professional but also cares about you and your situation. She always made me feel com...fortable, reassured me often, and was straight-forward with her thoughts and opinions about my case. She worked extremely hard and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had about my case. Her responsiveness in answering emails and phone calls showed that she cared about me as an individual and took her job seriously. She is very knowledgeable in immigration law. I would highly recommend her for any type of immigration case as mine was an extremely difficult and complicated case to the point where several other lawyers that I consulted with previous to meeting with Janeen gave me a very low chance of winning my case. However, because of Janeen's hard work, I am now a legal permanent resident! I can't express how appreciative I am to Janeen for everything! She is by far the best lawyer! I should also mention that when she handled my case she had an amazing group of people working for her that were just as nice, courteous and professional as she was! Great team all around!

Competent Knowledgable Attorney

Ms. HIcks-Pierre is an excellent attorney. She handled my case with compassion, knowledge, and professionalism. She successfully navigated me OUT or removal status and then through the process of becoming a US Citizen. She has a thorough knowledge of immigration law and what options her clients ha...ve. I would recommend Ms. Hicks-Pierre to anyone with immigration issues.
