Green Card

I engaged Jenniffer Melendez to support my permanent residence application from the UK. With the COVID-19 crisis, the process became complicated and during this time, Jenniffer was always quick to respond, giving calm, reasoned advice that I relied on heavily. Throughout, I relied heavily on Jenniff...er's diligence, knowledge and great skill in helping navigate through the process.

Muy satisfecha con el trabajo de Jennifer!

Estoy muy contenta y satisfecha con el trabajo realizado por la abogada Jenniffer Melendez. Desde que realice la primera llamada para exponerle mi caso, me di cuenta de que es una persona que está preparada y al día con cada uno de las leyes y cambios de migración. Una persona muy capaz, siempre aten...ta, responde con paciencia y amor cada una de las preguntas que se le realizan, y a pesar de que mi cita fue en NY y ella está en Miami estuvo presente vía telefónica en mi entrevista, lo que me dio un Pluss de confianza. Gracias a Dios y si trabajo pude obtener mi residencia permanente. Recomiendo su trabajo 100%.

Excelente abogada

Considero a Jenniffer Melendez excelente abogada, muy profesional, y confiable. Ella estuvo siempre pendiente de mi caso de renovación de mi residencia y de mi esposo. Yo tengo problemas de huellas y siempre estuvo dándole seguimiento con USCIS para resolver ese problema.

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.
