Waste of time and money

If you want to continually ask an attorney for updates without getting them and wait a whole month an a half for an email forward, this is the firm to hire.

Excellent lawyer

I am so happy that I hired Attorney Ruth Jean. When I was in my darkest hour in an abusive relationship with my now ex-wife, Ruth helped me through it. Because of the work of Jean Law Group, my green card has been approved and I can put those dark moments behind me. I highly recommend her to anyon...e who has immigration problems.

Ruth Jean was an amazing lawyer on my behalf. She appeared to every court date. And kept me informed throughout the whole process. She was both professional and family. She delivered as discussed. And I am grateful.

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.
