Excellent immigration lawyer!

My experience with Jean has been 100% positive - through and through! She handled my application (and later RFE) very professionally! She responded to each of my emails very promptly from my first email till I received my permanent residency in about 5 months! I am really impressed with the way she p...repares the whole application package (I applied for EB2). I can tell she is one of the nicest lawyer out there even if I have never met her in person (all communications was via email!). I feel really fortunate to have found her!

Very good experience - Jean Padberg

I came to America with many questions about how to proceed with my process of EB1 and thanks to Jean Padberg, went very well advised and instructed. All questions I had were answered promptly, as Jean worked seriously and with great honesty, knowledge, commitment and professionalism. Because of their... work, today I and my family have our Green Card and our good standing in a record time of 7 months. Thank you so much Jean Padberg & Associates.

Highly recomendation

I had the pleasure of working with Jean Padberg and Associates. Jean is a very efficient & effective Attorney. I contacted Jean through email to start green card process through NIW. She explained anything and helped me a lot for gathering evidence for my case. She replied to all my emails quickly a...nd precisely. She was always available when I had any questions. Finally I got my green card in less than 4 months. Moreover, several of my colleagues got their green card when jean was their Attorney. So, I highly recommended jean, if you are looking for the best attorney.

Excellent immigration lawyer

Lawyer Jean Padberg helped me get my permanent residency through NIW, My job does not require me to do research, but the lawyer worked it perfectly and got it for me, and I received my green card yesterday. I strongly recommend this lawyer.

A great lawyer to work with for my NIW case for Permanent Residency

I had the pleasure to work with Jean and Associates for my Permanent Resident status change through the National Interest Waiver program. I contacted Jean through email to start the process. She replied to all my emails promptly and thoughtfully. She is always available also for phone discussion when... I had questions regarding my case. In the beginning of the process, she suggested me with what to expect and prepare for the process to start in very detailed and helpful ways. Her and her associates prepared all the materials I needed to submit once I forwarded them everything they asked me to collect. Overall, the process was extremely efficient and I received my green card roughly 3 months after the package was submitted. To summarize, Jean is a very efficient lawyer for my case. She made sure I receive the card and follow up or inform me with important information regarding the process. I never met her in person. The whole process was done through emails and phone calls. In term of pricing, I am sure the price is reasonable. I would definitely recommend this lawyer for anyone having the same case as I did.

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.
