Jeniffer is an excellent immigration attorney. She is a zealous advocate for her clients and well respected in the legal community. I recommend that you call her if you have any questions about any facet of immigration law.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse Jeniffer Viscarra. She and I met a couple years ago as opposing counsel on a case. Although she always fought hard and zealously represented her client's best interests, she never lost sight of her ethics and maintained impeccable her integrity, both in and outside the courtroom. She treated both my client and I with respect, without waiver. Jeniffer is very knowledgeable in the Family area of practice and understands the dynamics of the different components of our Family Court system. She holds true to all the ingredients necessary to truly help individuals involved in the system get through it with as little pain as possible. She is genuine, empathetic and very pleasant to work with. When she tells you something, you can take it at face value because she is as straight a shooter as they come. I am always happy to work with Jeniffer and I know I will be a witness to her many professional accomplishments in years to come.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. We were opposing counsel in a complex divorce matter with children. Jeniffer worked hard to settle the matter and in her representation of her client in court. Since then, we have had a good professional relationship in other family law matters. She is a true professional attorney.

Jeniffer is an absolutely amazing family law attorney. I have referred her many clients over the years and every referral always comes back to me singing her praises. She is a formidable advocate in court but never jumps to litigation as she always has the client's best interest at heart.

I unequivocally endorse Jennifer Viscarra. Rarely will you ever find an attorney with the heart, passion, and drive that she has to represent her clients. I have referred her, and will always continue to refer her, all my family law clients as she is truly the best person for the job.

I have worked with Jennifer on various family law matters. She is highly skilled and educated in the area of family law both on a transactional and litigation basis. I highly recommend her.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I recently represented a client in a criminal matter. Unrelated to his criminal matter he was embroiled in Family/Matrimonial issues that needed immediate resolution. I referred him to Jen because I know she fights like a pit-bull for her clients. True to form, Jen wasted no time in successfully resolving all of the Family issues my client was having with his ex-wife. And Jen kept me and our client informed every step of the way. My client was very pleased with Jen and he was happy with ME for recommending Jen to him. Thank you Jen, for handling my client's family matters so well!

Jeniffer is a wonderful person and attorney. She is dedicated and professional, and I would recommend her to anyone. It is an honor to know her, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her in the future.

I attended law school with Jennifer and worked closely on a project with her. I also have remained friendly with her and believe I know her fairly well. It is easy to say she is smart and hard working and has mastered the basics of lawyering. But what sets her apart from the field is her commitment to doing her part to insure that justice is applied evenly and equally and that all are assured of opportunities of justice that the US has to offer. Jennifer is a lawyer becasue she believes that she can make a difference. Anyone who hires her will be assured not only of the necessary skills or oral and written advocacy but of having a llawyer who truly believes in the system.
