Excelente Servicio!

Recomiendo públicamente a la firma JM Immigration. La abogada Jennifer y su equipo hacen un excelente trabajo manteniéndonos comunicados e informados sobre nuestro caso de petición familiar en todo momento.

Una experiencia increíble

Jenniffer me ayudo a no perder mi visa de paseo , me acerque a Jenniffer con un caso un tanto complicado con visa de turista y ella me ayudo con las herramientas y las directrices para que mi caso tuviera solución y hoy en día puedo decir que gracias a Jenniffer mi caso fue aprobado.

Best inmigration law firm

Jennifer Melendez and her team did a great job walking me through the process until my case was completed. They have great knowledge of inmigration laws and government operations. I would recommend this team to anyone who needs assistance with inmigration status.

Very thorough and professional.

JM immigration firm han sido la respuesta a todas nuestras plegarias. Mi esposo y yo le debemos a ella y a todo su maravilloso equipo que nuestro caso haya sido resuelto positivamente. Mi esposo tenia una condición en su residencia, lo cual le impedía obtenerla permanentemente. La petición para remo...ver la condición había sido negada anteriormente y nos sentíamos con mucha incertidumbre y no sabíamos que hacer. El hasta estuvo a punto de ser deportado en una ocasión y fue acusado de haberse casado “por papeles” por agentes de USCIS. Gracias a la preparación, esfuerzo y dedicación de Jennifer, hoy podemos estar tranquilos. No duden en hacer una consulta con ella, y se darán cuenta que estarán en manos expertas y dedicadas. Muchas gracias Jennifer y equipo por estar siempre al pendiente del caso y por no dejar pasar nada por alto! JM immigration firm have been the answer to all our prayers. My husband and I owe it to her and her wonderful team that our case was resolved positively. My husband had a condition on his residence, which prevented him from obtaining it permanently. The request to remove the condition had been previously denied, and we felt very uncertain and did not know what to do. He was even on the verge of being deported on one occasion, and he was accused of having married to obtain his green card by USCIS agents. Thanks to Jennifer's preparation, effort and dedication, today we can finally feel at ease. Do not hesitate to consult with her, and you will realize that you will be in expert and dedicated hands. Thank you very much Jennifer and team for always being on the lookout for the case and for not letting anything go unnoticed!

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.
