Best legal counsel ~ by far!

I had a number of holes in my application which created alot of uncertainty about my case. Liset was initially apprehensive but she still decided to take up my case. Her professionalism and immense attention to detail has helped alot. When it was all said and done, my case was approved, and I hav...e Liset to thank for the preparation that went into ensuring all the right information was prepared and available. Thank you! ----------------- I would definitely recommend Liset Lefebvre to anyone. Once she decides to represent you, she sees your case all through the way to the end!

Best Immigration Lawyer! La Mejor Abogada de Imigracion!

We first met Liset at our church where she volunteered to answer questions the congregation. Some months after me and my husband made an appointment with Liset and decided to hire her as our immigration lawyer. We recommended her with my parents too and they hired her as well. We loved how she always... took the time to explain everything until we understood. Not only that but if we had any questions regarding our case she would always reply quickly. Liset is a very compassionate, humble, kind, and an expert in her field of work. This past week my mom received her approval of residency and we are now moving forward with my father's case. My husband's case on the other hand is a bit more complicated but we are seeing results and hopefully by next year he will also receive his residency. I am very thankful for all she has done for my family, if you are looking for an exceptional lawyer look no further and decide to hire Liset as your immigration lawyer you will not regret it. La primera vez que conocimos a Liset fue en nuestra iglesia donde se ofreció para responder preguntas que la congregación tenía. Unos meses después mi esposo y yo hicimos una cita con Liset y decidimos contratarla como nuestra abogada de imigración. También la recomendamos con mis padres y la contrataron también. Nos encantaba cómo ella siempre se tomaba el tiempo de explicar todo hasta que entendiéramos. No solo eso, pero si teníamos alguna pregunta sobre nuestro caso, ella siempre respondía rápidamente. Liset es muy compasiva, humilde, amable y experta en su campo de trabajo. La semana pasada mi madre recibió su aprobación de residencia y ahora estamos avanzando con el caso de mi padre. El caso de mi esposo, por otro lado, es un poco más complicado, pero estamos viendo resultados y esperamos que para el próximo año también reciba su residencia. Estoy muy agradecida por todo lo que Liset ha hecho por mi familia, si está buscando una abogada excepcional, no busque más y decida en contratar a Liset como su abogada de imigración, no se arrepentirá.

Spouse Immigration

The minute my husband and I met with Liset, we knew her compassion and kindness would make her the perfect lawyer to handle our case. My husband is an immigrant from Australia, and when we got married we had no idea where to start or how to file anything with the U. S. government. Liset and the team ...at Verdin handled everything from start to finish. She answered questions, emails, and phone calls and had us prepared for each step of the way. She prepped us so well for our interview, we knew exactly what to expect and it was a breeze. My husband now has his green card and we say every day we are SO happy we hired Liset. The entire team at Verdin is helpful, kind, and welcoming and they make sure you are always one step ahead.

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.
