She is organized top level attorney who rechecked all of my documents multiple times to make sure that we were fully prepared for upcoming interview. She immedeatly responded to all my emails and text mess...ages and answered to all my questions. Thanks to her my case was successfully approved and handled very professionally. Thank you Jennifer!

F1 Visa - Student Visa

Jennifer and her office provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details toward the documentation for F1 visa. Jenniffer is an outstanding lawyer with excelente communication skills. Jennifer helped me to get my F1 visa. She prepared a file with all the ...documents the embassy required for the interview. We also had a meeting before the interview where we did a mock interview. She is very professional and I would recommend her to anyone with my eyes closed. She takes special care of her clients and is always attentive to your concerns. When I was in Colombia waiting for the interview, Jenniffer responded on every email and text to my questions and concerns and I got quick answers. Jennifer is a wonderful lawyer and I will always thank her for her services and professional advice.

Excelente

La licenciada Meléndez es absolutamente confiable y segura de lo que está hablando ,yo someti mi ajuste de estatus (I485) en 2016 y por razones ajenas a mi caso se demoró más de lo esperado,contacte a la licenciada, le expuse mi caso y ella amablemente me sugirió que hacer,ella tomo mi caso,finalmen...te sólo 4 meses después ya tengo mi desicion final,y ya todo el stress que esto genera se quedo atras. La licenciada Meléndez es segura y analítica a,la hora de revisar el caso y muy acertada en sus comentarios,además siembre responde ante las dudas.

Best immigration lawyer I know

Best immigration lawyer I know this is why I think she’s the best she did all my paperwork for me she was on time with everything and at one point my green card was supposed to be delivered to me to post office lost my green card if it wasn’t for her I would’ve been lost I would not know what to do ...she help me to recover a new green card with most lawyers they would go ahead and charge it all over again she did everything for me for free she had empathy towards the situation so I’m grateful to her for that like I don’t think no other lawyer what is do what she did for me she help me in so many ways and the thing is like if you’re really looking for a real good lawyer I recommend you look her up Jennifer Melendez

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.
