My Dedicated Lawyer

I knew Jean when I was doing pizza delivery. She and her staff is so welcoming and generous which gave me the trust to hire her for my citizenship. With her help, I got my citizenship. I later come back again for her to file for my son oversea within a year my son came. Because of her dedication and ...caring for her client which I know, I came again when I met my current beautiful wife to file for her green and today she become a proud citizen like me. Base on my experience with Jean, honestly I will recommend her to represent any one with any form of immigration issue. She knows what is doing.

Best immigration attorney ever...

I cannot thank enough Jean Padberg for her extraordinary work. My I-140 in EB-12 category was approved in one day!!! One day really!!! When I started my hunt for finding an attorney for filing for my green card under EB-12(EB-1-B-outstanding researcher category) I approached the so called big name at...torneys with my case. One of them refused to take up my case and offered to file in NIW, the other charged me around $ 13,000 not to mention how demoralizing and negative the whole episode was. When I approached Jean I was myself in doubt due to the previous debacle with the so called “top EB-1 attorneys” who flaunt their percentage of success. Jean readily took up my case and assured me that my chances were very good. She and her office were very prompt, answered my entire question, walked me through the process, gave me samples from previous cases and communicated effectively with my office and accomplished all these great professionalism. Her fees were only a fraction of what other attorneys demand. I highly recommend Jean Padberg and Associates to for any immigration needs. Thank you Padberg and Associates for make our dream into reality.

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!

Highly recommend Jean!

Jean is extremely helpful! We had an unexpected situation when our appointment for Green Card interview was cancelled due to weather conditions, and USCIS office was closed for unknown period of time. Jean was in touch with me every day of delay, giving updates on situation. When the office was final...ly open she was there early and was able to quickly negotiate our interview, which went very smooth. I noticed that Jean is in good relationship with immigration office employees, which I think really helped at our situation. Also if you are Russian speaker – Jean has a Russian interpreter…which is very helpful. Highly recommend Jean!Highly recommend Jean!

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.
