Divorce

Joy, she’s my attorney and ANGEL that was there for me at the worst time of my life, She’s compassionate, very knowledgeable of the Laws and most of all no financial pressure. She was always available via phone, email or office visit to listen to my concerns and give great advise and recommendations.... Needless to say, a very happy outcome in my divorce proceedings….. She’s the BEST!

Citizenship

She is simply amazing! Understanding, caring, very supportive to your goals and dreams for becoming an American. Extremely professional, listens, gives sound confidential advice, returns calls/ emails promptly, submits all documents and paperwork to US immigration accurately, and in a very timely man...ner, never late. Outstanding person, lawyer, service! It is because of her guidance, and legal advice and direction, I am proud to say I was sworn in as a United States Of America citizen recently. A dream of mine since a little girl.

Rachel, thank you very much for your kind words. It was my pleasure to assist you in achieving your childhood dream. I also enjoyed meeting your child and our many conversations. Should you ever need legal assistance in the future, regardless of the legal matter, please do not hesitate to call me; if I cannot assist you I will make every effort to refer you to a competent attorney.

Happy customer

Before hiring Joy I called her for a free consultation regarding information about obtaining a green card. She gave straight no nonsense answers and I decided to hire her to facilitate the process. She is very thorough and straight forward, prepares you well for the interview.

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.
