Hired attorney

Had gone to 2 other lawyers and they didn’t do much and with the help of Jeremy my husband was able to get his residency, I thank God for him and to continue to bless him in so many ways. I would definitely recommend him!

Excellent lawyer

Jeremy is an excellent lawyer. He was very careful to communicate with me clearly and concisely. He was also very available to me when I had questions or doubts. I had my paperwork filled and sent very quickly and I got a positive response from the government VERY quickly. I would not hesitate to rec...ommend Jeremy for a second. Plus he speaks Spanish.

Execellent dedicated and professional lawyer

I hired Mr. Smith to help me and my family for immigration problems. I visited him and he was courteous, bilingual, analytical, and very intelligent. An excellent communicator. He laid out a plan that would be the best case for my wife and step kids who were EWI. He helped us from waivers, documentat...ion, mock-interviews and always stayed in touch through out the whole process. I feel there aren't many lawyers like Mr. Smith. I feel the reason everything went the way it went with the whole immigration process was because of Mr. Smith. Everything went perfect. Thank you for everything Mr. Smith!

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

Jeremy helped me navigate the naturalization process with professionalism and excellence. His great communication throughout the process, even while hitting some roadblocks with my application, definitely made an already stressful process much easier. I would recommend Jeremy's services to anyone nee...ding assistance through the immigration process.

"I am pleased to endorse Jeremy Smith as a fellow immigration lawyer. The quality of his answers on Avvo.com show him to be not only a knowlegeable, detail-oriented, and careful attorney, but also a caring and compassionate one. Those attorneys who participate on Avvo, such as Jeremy, are in effect performing a service for those in need of legal advice. By participating in forums such as this one, attorneys such as Jeremy show their level of commitment to the profession. In Jeremy's case, his own admirable commitment to helping immigrants goes back to before he became a licensed attorney, to his time in law school, when he was already working under an immigration attorney while also studying for his law degree. Moreover, Jeremy's high level of fluency in Spanish provides an extra positive factor with regard to his abilities as an attorney, contributing to his ability to communicate effectively with, and provide excellent service to, clients whose native language is Spanish"

"I have had the pleasure of working with Jeremy for over a year and have seen him speak in front of Immigration Judges, and ICE and USCIS Officers. Jeremy is a tremendous attorney and advocate for his clients. He always prepares for his cases, and leaves no issue unexplored. Jeremy is also honest, and will always speak candidly with his clients on the merits of their cases.

He is detail-oriented and works until he has found the right answer to any question posed to him. He is a very humble and service oriented individual who takes his commitment to serve people seriously. Having grown up out of the United States he has a unique understanding of immigration laws and he is incredibly passionate about his work. Jeremy Smith will do good work for you."

"Jeremy and I served on Law Review together and I have nothing but excellent things to say about his work ethic and the overall quality of his work. He is passionate about his work and will not stop until he has found the right answer to the problem at hand. He combines that quality with a detail-oriented nature that will serve him and his clients very well throughout his career. I endorse Jeremy as a servant-minded attorney with the intellectual capacity to handle any issue he takes on."

Immigration lawyer | Oct 26

Relationship: Co-worker

"Jeremy works hard because he unwaveringly believes that all people are valuable. He remembers this in every task he does, from the greatest to the smallest. This causes him to go above and beyond in all things, even when he could cut corners. I previously worked with Jeremy at a legal publication, and he excelled in all aspects of his job, from writing and editing to managing. I would often walk into the editor's suite to find him alone, the first one in or last out, hard at work to ensure he did the best he could with the task at hand. Because this work ethic is rooted in deep concern for each individual (each client, for example), it will no doubt persist with every challenge Jeremy faces in his practice. For these reasons, I strongly endorse Jeremy."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Jeremy for almost a year, and enjoyed every day of it. He is fluent in Spanish, which enables him to communicate clearly and effectively with clients. He understands how best to defend clients from deportation, and simultaneously is capable of realizing when a client is eligible for immigration benefits such as U-Visas, deferred action for childhood arrivals, I-130's, I-601's, and I-601A Waivers. He has great experience with both immigration courts and USCIS, and is respected in both agencies. Most importantly, he is honest and trustworthy."
