A Lawyer's Lawyer

Kara Vaval is not just an awesome person, but am extraordinary lawyer, backed by a team of competent support staff. Let's start with her staff: they were organized, responsive, proactive, kept me up to date, thorough, and kept the case moving in a positive direction. What more could you ask for? M...oving on to Ms. Vaval: she was well informed and clear on the law, focused, professional, listened, followed up, and negotiated a favorable result. Pure Black Girl Magic in the form of a fabulous lawyer. Seriously.

Great attention to detail and representation

I was in immigration limbo, for lack of a better word, for over a decade. I consulted many attorneys that only took the consultation fee and told me I just need to wait until I hear from USCIS. I met with Ms. Vaval-Ferrier and she took my entire folder of documents from me and told me she is going ...to comb through it and will help me and my family out of this maze of the US immigration system. She was very efficient and called me with updates. She went above and beyond to ensure that her word of getting me help was not in vain. I am so appreciative of what she has done for me. I was not an easy client and there were times when I was difficult due to my anxiety and impatience. Through those situations she maintained her composure and even reassured me that my feelings were valid but if I just let her do what she promised it will all work out. I am now a proud permanent resident thanks to Ms. Vaval-Ferriers professionalism, determination and excellent representation on my behalf with my immigration case. If you have a pending or upcoming immigration matter you want Ms. Vaval-Ferrier to be your attorney. J. Stephen

A 5 star attorney.

I was involved in an accident on 10/27/15 Kara was referred by an employee of Dr. Goldson. She is an excellent attorney, she knows her job, and she looks out for her clients. I would refer her to anyone who needs a good attorney

Kara Ferrier is the best

This was my first time dealing with a lawyer and Kara Ferrier made the process so easy and simple. She took care of everything for me but made sure to keep me involved and educated every step of the way. Ferrier did wonders for my case. I'm so happy to have her as my lawyer.

Six figure settlement

The attorney you hire can make a huge difference in the result of your case. Prior to hiring attorney Kara Vaval Ferrier, I dealt with another attorney who poorly negotiated my case and nearly cost me tens of thousands of dollars. Attorney Ferrier came highly recommended. She was compassionate and... easy to communicate with; at the same time, she was a tough negotiator with the insurance company. She fought for me, and I was able to get a six figures settlement for my injuries. I highly recommend attorney Ferrier for all of your legal needs.
