I would like to recommend the attorney Jennifer Pernas. She managed my divorce proceedings with professionalism and accuracy. She also has a great team supporting her who were always willing to accommodate my personal requirements. I would not hesitate to use her services again if I ever need it. She is also bilingual (English/Spanish) which was a big plus.

Excellent Immigration Attorney
Jennifer Pernas guided my wife and I through the complex requirements of applying for a Green Card. Furthermore, she provided advice on the best course of actions to take whenever we were at a decision point. Would definitely recommend her for knowledge and expertise.

Best immigration Lawyer!!
Jennifer has been my huge help since past five years. She has helped me with different immigration and visa related processes. Her accurate and compassionate work has encouraged me again and again to get back to her every time. When you need her, she is just a call or text away and she explains the process very thoroughly. I will hire her again when I need her expertise. I strongly recommend Jennifer and her team for your immigration or other needs.

When a lawyer represents a lawyer
Jennifer Pernas has specifically helped me in a number of complex immigration matters. Her research and writing are excellent. She really cares and is very creative. She helped me on a problematic H-1B /LCA issue; PERM audits; a NOIR on an L-1A, and several other matters.
