Jean Padberg & Associates, P.C.

I need to say that our GREEN CARD is in our hands !!!! We are so happy it sounds like a dream. Jean was very honest and committed to my case, always presenting us the best option. Jean kept us informed throughout the process, and when I had questions I got answers quickly by phone and email. You... will never find a lawyer more honest, ethical and hardworking. Jean is really amazing at what she does. I recommend Jean to anyone who needs the services of an excellent Immigration lawyer.   I would like to thank Jean for all the support and patience she had with us during this period and I would also like to thank her for the excellent work she and her team have done, her professionalism is incredible. Thank you very much, we are very happy !!!!

Best Immigration Lawyer

Jean is an excellent lawyer. I have used her firm for my successful EB1A application and also for obtaining 2 H1s(with Audra) at my startup. In all my engagements I have received sound legal advice and best results. Most prominent firms do not take non-phd EB1A cases but Jean not only took my case b...ut she helped win it in the field for business. Unlike other firms that I consulted, I found that Jean really believed in my eb1a case and she worked hard for months to make it a winnable case. She put her years of experience with other similar cases to strengthen my case. Her deep understanding of the EB1A process and criteria was very apparent when she submitted a strong response to an RFE in my case. I highly recommend Jean and Audra for EB1A and H1 cases.

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.

The best and respectful Lawyer

I have had success to get my Green Card from EB1. When I started thinking to get my GC I asked my best friend that told me did the same way to get it. After her excellent recommendation I approached Jean Padberg to begin the process for my EB1 and then my Green Card. She was very enthusiastic and hel...pful in getting my material together for submission. Jean always welcoming to foreign that has a real ability to get the GC. The best features that Jean has for me are : she always working seriously, she is honest and she is very outstanding in everything she does. My family and I recommend her always. I highly recommend her firm to anyone who is in need immigration support. Her years of experience paired with her friendly hard-working staff, made the journey less stressful and my dream of living in the USA a reality.

Wonderful Service! Don't Hesitate, she is great in service, in organization, and in results.

Definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an immigration lawyer. I've worked with different lawyers and she was the best I've ever worked with. She was professional, accurate, and on time. The communication with her and what she needed was so clear that it helped a lot provide them easi...ly. She was so organized and easy to work with. Also, she is honest and right to the point. She doesn't give you false hopes or wrong directions, so if she supports it, you have a great chance of winning. The experience of working with her was so smooth, clear, and pleasant. She knows the process and evaluation factors completely and helps you prepare your case for the best results. She was on time and responsive to the communication. She is so kind and caring about each case. Definitely recommend her to anyone wants to work. Don't hesitate to talk to her and hire her as your lawyer.
