Exceptionally helpfull, very compitent attorney

Ms. Janeen and I have been working together on my immigrational situation for about a year and a half. She has been the only immigrational attorney who was able to give me hope. Thanks to her expertise and willingness to answer all of my concerns and questions i have been able to have a piece of mind... while waiting on my petition to be resolved. Not only did she give me hope to have my matter positively resolved, she also has lead me through every step to obtain legal rights to work, drive, study and fully function in this country. Ms Janeen has made every possible effort to assist me anything she was capable of helping me with. I have outstayed my status a few years ago, after arriving in the US as an exchange student. It is generally very difficult to legalize after the student visa has been expired. Every lawyer I have ever spoken with has been hinting that the only chance to stay for me would be to marry a US citizen, and there was nothing else they could really do for me besides filing necessary paperwork for a fiancée visa. I have become a single mom in the course of the past two years and my legal situation required to be fixed as soon as reasonably possible - facing deportation due to irrational behavior of my daughters biological father. After speaking with numerous lawyers on the phone, that wanted to charge me for just an initial consultation without committing to anything, after dialing too many phone numbers and hearing the same thing, MS Janeen has asked me just a few questions and have been able to say that I had a very good chance to apply for a U-Visa as a victim of a crime, gave me a list of documents she would need to file it for me - and within less then fifteen minutes she changed my life and the future of my child , that is now almost two years old, and now we do need to consider having flying back across the world and worry about any legal matter any longer. I have recommended Ms Janeen Hicks’s cervices to two of my very close friends that with similar immigrational issues - she has been very professional, knowledgeable and the most trustworthy attorney i have ever dealt with. Ms Janeen is very professional, very dedicated, very competent , and trustworthy , her bi-lingual abilities let her get into all of the depth of the matter she is dealing with directly from her clients. Overall she leaves a very pleasant impression
