Excellent Lawyer

Kristie Bowerman is by anyone's standard an absolutely fantastic attorney. I found Kristie for immigration and greencard application guidance during a time of my life where I was too busy and overwhelmed to tackle the process on my own. From our initial consultation interview, Kristie was compassiona...te, understanding and thorough. She knows the immigration law inside and out, as well as understanding the best way to help meet her clients needs. Furthermore, she is an absolute pleasure to work with, making "meetings with my lawyer" actually an enjoyable experience. She helped my husband and I through the entire process of obtaining a greencard by clearly outlining all the necessary steps, sending timely reminders of deadlines, keeping a close eye on the progress of our case and supporting us through our marriage interview. It should be mentioned as well that all of her services where provided for at a very reasonable fee. Within a 6 month time period, the process my husband and I had been fretting over for a while was successfully complete. I can not stress enough how integral she was to the process. I would recommend Ms. Bowerman to any individual that has immigration concerns of any nature. She will be by your side every step of the way and will not let you down. Thank you Kristie, for being fantastic at what you do.

Best Lawyer

Kristie is best lawyer in New Orleans. She is very understandable, cooperative, and hard working. Whenever we have a immigration problem, she handles it very well. Me and my husband have been working with her for 14 years and she is very amazing.

Amazing lawyer

My husband and I were lost when we saw all the paper we had to file out so we decided to get a consultation with Mrs. Bowerman. Right away we decided to hire her. Well this was at the end of November and here it is end of March and we got approved for my husband's green card. She followed us all alon...g, sending us email remainders as well as updated on our case, a checklist for everything we needed. She was really helpful and always there when I had a question. I will really advise people to go to her if they have any doubts about their file or anything else. I am really thankful for what she did, she made this step way easier than what it would have been without her.

Very good experience for H1B visa and Green card

I had a very good experience with Kristie. Everything for my visa and then my Green card went as planned, even if they both are long processes. She has been able to explain me every step and to give me more information if I needed. Thank you Kristie.

The Best!!!

I was very nervous about the whole immigration process, as soon as I had my first meeting with Kristie I knew I was in good hands, that put me at ease. She kept me informed every step of the way and answered all my questions promptly and explained them to me. I am was lucky to be in her hands and hav...e recommended her to other family members.

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.

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.
