Amazing & Highly Professional Attorney

I was blessed to meet with Jennifer and retain her as my attorney for my Immigration Interview. 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!

Superb Lawyer and staff

Jenniffer Melendez helped us with my spouse's adjustment of status process. From the very beginning all the way to the interview at the USCIS offices which she accompanied us. She has assisted us tremendously by simplifying and anticipating all that would be required (documentation) from the start to... the near future, which made it all a breeze for us. As of today, my wife has just received her Green Card. Thank you everyone!

Great lawyer

When I apply for my green card without a lawyer the first time I was denied. So I reached out to Ms. Melendez and she helped me tremendously and helped me get my papers rather quickly. My case was a little complicated because I am 24 years old and was applying as a immidiate relative. For that you ha...ve to be under 21, but Ms. Melendez vouched for me saying my age froze when my mother got her citizenship when I was 20 years old. I am now a permanent resident.

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)

Jennifer Melendez helped my daughter apply for US citizenship. She was very diligent and professional, she went above and beyond to help with acquiring all the documents needed and as a result of her determination my daughter received her citizenship.

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.
