Attorney Review

I highly recommend Monica Kinene's services as an attorney. Her work on my husband's immigration case was thorough and professional, and she provided results much faster than we expected. She communicated with us clearly throughout the process, and kept us updated on developments at all times. A trul...y caring professional, she went above and beyond in assisting my husband and myself. I would recommend Monica Kinene without reservation to anyone in need of legal services.

Thorough

Monica made sure I gathered all the documentation and left no stone unturned. She was also flexible and accommodating with regard to meeting times since I was mostly out of town. Her professionalism and knowledge made what would have been a rather daunting experience incredibly smooth.

Application for U.S. Citizenship

Our applications, (me and my wife), breezed through in no time, (a little less than 2 months). Our interviews were scheduled on different days but, with the advice we received from the attorney, this was changed on the day my wife was scheduled for her interview. We ended up being interviewed on tha...t same day. We were impressed by the accuracy of the attorney's work.

Immigration Client

Monica Kinene helped me file the 1-751 application for removal of conditions on my U.S permanent resident status. She clearly explained the entire process and the requirements before we got started. She constantly followed up the case for me with the USCIS service center and regularly updated me w...ith the current status of my application. My case was approved this year and I believe her professional vigilance is what made it possible.

Immigration into US from Canada

Monica helped me with filing paperwork with USCIC so that I could get my Landed Immigrant status after I married a US citizen. I was working in the States on a very important project and I needed to ensure that I maintained valid work status. Monica was very familiar with the process and gave exc...ellent guidance throughout. The paperwork she filed for the process was exactly what was needed. USCIC never asked for any additional paperwork or clarifications or corrections. Monica was very professional about returning calls and emails in a timely matter. She was also very proactive in explaining how the application process would work. I asked her a lot of questions throughout the process and she always had insightful answers.

"Monica is a true gem of an attorney. She is kind, intelligent, and honestly pleasant to be around! From our first meeting, I have been impressed by her dedication to helping those often left behind by the immigration system - victims of crime, human trafficking, and other horrible situations. She has the compassion and heart to not just fix immigration problems, but to help in any way she possibly can."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a volunteer attorney with the Georgia Asylum & Immigration Network, Monica assisted two immigrant victims of crime in obtaining legal status to remain in the United States. During both of these experiences, I found Monica to be compassionate, poised, and always prepared to complete the task at hand. I highly recommend working with her."

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.
