Quiero agradecer a la abogada Jennifer Melendez por su excelente trabajo con mi proceso migratorio. Primero aplicó para mi perdón y luego me ayudó con todo el proceso hasta mi cita en República Dominicana. Aunque el proceso fue mas largo de lo esperado por la pandemia, siempre estuvo pendiente de mi ...caso y en constante comunicación conmigo. Muy profesional y dedicada. La recomiendo totalmente.

Inadmissible to Approved

Outstanding legal representation. Jenniffer and her team took on my inadmissible case due to a criminal record and turned it into an approved F visa. Professional, knowledgeable, and committed from start to finish. I’m extremely thankful for their hard work and would highly recommend.

Excelente abogada

Quiero expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a mi abogada de inmigración, Jenniffer Meléndez. Apliqué por el perdón 601a y mi caso fue negado, pero después ella tomó mi caso y, gracias a su gran conocimiento, dedicación y esfuerzo, el perdón fue aprobado. Gracias a su ayuda, muy pronto podré estar... nuevamente con mi familia después de 4 años separados. La recomiendo totalmente por su profesionalismo y compromiso.

Student Visa Approved

The best experience with lawyers we have ever had. From the moment we started working with Jennifer Melendez and her wonderful team, we knew and felt the professionalism, the honesty and the bless we had with us. We were looking for an advice and we got lot of more than that, Jennifer's team i...s awesome: Keyli was always in front desk to help us with our doubts, Rubenny was the specialist who gave us the touch to include important information on our profile and of course, Jennifer as owner and President of the firm, supervised all the operation and reviewed every single detail. I was looking for a Student Visa for me as F1 and for my wife and son F2 and they knew how to get it. We just send them all the information they ask for and they took care of the rest. We had about 10 calls, unlimited messages, plenty advices and like 8 months of paperwork. Finally, the appointment day arrived and the officers approved. Please go and contact this wonderful Firm, thanks me later...

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.
