The best lawyer ever!!!

I have been very happy with the service from Jean Padberg and Associates - Me and my wife just got our green cards, and Jean was the one who helped us with our I485 case. She has been very professional and knowledgeable. In particular, I would like to emphasize one aspect of her: her great communicat...ion in patiently explaining all the process of the I485. She invested time in explaining us the particulars of our case, even when there was no attorney-client relationship yet: that makes you feel that somebody truly cares about your application. As a final note, I think her legal fees are fair and reasonable, and I highly recommended Jean Padberg and Associates. I can't thank you enough for helping us in our case!

Great service and positive outcome!

It was pleasure working with Jean to file our immigrant application. We received timely response on the queries and great help for putting together a compelling application for EB1A (green card). We received our green cards within 6-7 months. Thank you Jean and her team.

Kind, professional, knowledgeable attorney team!

It was my great fortune to have Jean and her team handle my NIW application. She responded promptly and thoroughly to every single email I sent (including the ones not really related to my application). She gave me endless legal advice and perspective. To be honest, I was very worried and skeptical... about hiring an attorney as I had heard about people who were ripped off by attorneys. I talked to one attorney team (referred to me by a friend) in New York and had that feeling. Jean was also referred to me by a friend. And, I was still skeptical. I went online and read all reviews. Then I decided to give it a try. As soon as I started communicating with Jean, the doubt was fast gone. The more I worked with her, the more I was confident in my decision! And yes, my husband and I got our green cards this week! Thank you Jean and the team so much for your professional and hard work! Your team is highly recommended!

Green Card filing

Jean Padberg is an exceptional and very knowledgeable immigration lawyer. I am a fresh PhD (2015 graduate) with 12 manuscripts (one in Science Translational Medicine) and 120 citations. Through my friend recommendation I approached Jean Padberg for filing my green card. I truly appreciate their intui...tion in dealing the case, their professional approach and their very fast responses to many queries of mine. Most importantly, Jean Padberg edits recommendation letters very quickly. I enjoyed working with Jean Padberg Immigration Law Group and I strongly recommend them to anyone who is interested in applying for EB-1A in the future.

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.
