You have been a great attorney and you handle my case with so much care and concern

Janeen represented me in my case which was extremely complicated. I was charged with a fraud and was going to be deported. Janeen appealed my case and won it. She then represented me to submit my application for permanent residence, my situation was particular and I was concerned about that but she a...lways inspired trust, confidence, and peace of mind about my situation. She always responded promptly to my questions and was very clear about all aspects of the application process, I have to flew to my country to received my permanent residence and I admit that I was very nervous about that but I received my permanent residence and I back home and am so grateful to Janeen for taking what I imagined to be a near-impossible situation and making it manageable, successful, and completely affordable.

A lawyer that knows what she is doing.

She is the best lawyer to hire and handle complicated case, before hiring the great Janeen I consulted a hand full of attorneys and all of them told me there is no way out of deportation. so I was really giving up until I met janeen for consultation then I decided to hire her for my case and firing m...y current attorney who charged me tons of money without getting any results in my first hearing. With her special skills and hard work my case took a fenomonal turn where I was able to keep my GC and stay in the US with my family and not being apart from my kids . And I will be applying for my citizenship soon.There is no word can express my appreciation and gratitude for her hard work and accomplishment .. thank you thank you god bless you

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.
