Highly knowledgeable and proactive

My application was promptly combined and submitted. Jennifer was there for our interview, and when it seemed USCIS would make an issue of a Governmental program I once did in my country, Jennifer preemptively started preparing to address the issue. Fortunately, and surprisingly, the application was ...approved. In record time too! (About 3 months after submission)

She helped me with my citizenship

Jenniffer helped with my naturalization process. I had some issues related to a record for disorderly conduct and with child support. She addressed every issue and I was able to obtain my citizenship. She is very persistent and think out the box to help you in your case. I am very happy for having ch...osen this law firm.

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.
