The best Immigration Attorney you can get

Joanne helped me in my N-400 with some legal complications. She will understand your case in detail and she will come up with thorough plan to handle the situation. Best part is she is always very calm and will explain challenging situation in very simple terms so you understand it. She advices/guid...es you through whole process and she is very approachable and quick to respond any queries. I became proud US Citizen without any challenges due to all the help and guidance I received from Joanne. Highly recommended Immigration Attorney !!!

Excellent Immigration legal services here in Jacksonville

Throughout the time I used Ms Fakhre's immigration legal services, the firm has always been well-prepared with prompt and tailored services. The attorney is very knowledgeable, professional yet personable. I was kept informed with status update during the waiting period. Mr. Fakhre has shown wond...erful professional ethic when helping me with my immigration needs; she studies each case carefully and seeks the best interest for her clients. The services I received involved with visitor visa (B2), work visa (H1), student visa (F1), Labor Certificate petition, and finally the petition of becoming a permanent resident of the United States. All visas, certificate and petitions were handled smoothly. I still remember the life-changing moment, holding green card in my hand; words simply cannot express enough my gratitude to what Joanne Fakhre’s law firm has done.

In my history of coming to the country 12 years ago, getting the greencard and finally become US Citizen I had to deal with some immigration lawyers. None could match up to Joanne. Her love for details - her deep understanding how immigration works makes her the primary choice work anyone how needs ...help on the matter. She got an H1B for our employee in record time and without any complication. I will use her anytime.

GREAT IMMIGRATION LAWYER

Joanne is an excellent lawyer. Joanne exemplified the characteristics of good lawyer that I never observed and experienced from others: Experience: She had been in the practice of immigration for several years to date & is knowledgeable with the current immigration issues. Reasonable fees: Leg...al immigration fees, in general, are not cheap. However, her fees are offered at a comparative reasonable rate. Accessibility: In my experience, Joanne had always been easily accessible and she values the importance of an open flow of communication which is important to “attorney-client relationship”. Compassionate and respectful: Joanne gave me and my family her full attention and conveyed compassion while offering a realistic, big picture outlook on our situations. I understand that immigration processes are not always a rapid one and may take a while and working with a lawyer who I am comfortable with was very big relief. I am grateful to Joanne for her outstanding and honest legal support. Having a qualified immigration lawyer who you can trust and can call when you have some questions or a problem, can indeed, provide a great deal of peace of mind. I highly recommend Attorney Joanne Fakhre without any reservations.

"Attorney Fakhre is an exceptional immigration attorney because she is, herself, an immigrant. She is also very aware of the issues facing those of particular ethnicities and nationalities given her own diverse background and upbringing. With Attorney Fakhre you will have a highly intelligent attorney with many years of experience, who will work hard for you. But most importantly, Attorney Fakhre genuinely cares about all her clients and their families. That genuine empathy she feels for her clients make an otherwise good attorney, great. It is the attorney who believes in her clients who will work and fight the hardest for them. Attorney Fakhre has my strongest endorsement."
