Jefferey Kennon Green

Immigration law is about more than filling out forms. It is about families, opportunities, and the ability to build a future. As an immigration attorney, I understand how important these matters are to the people who entrust me with their cases.

I am Jefferey K. Green, a California-licensed attorney and Managing Attorney and Co-Owner of Green Chavez Law Firm. My practice is dedicated to U.S. immigration and nationality law, representing individuals, families, and businesses throughout the United States and internationally.

I assist clients with family-based immigration petitions, marriage-based green cards, adjustment of status, consular processing, citizenship and naturalization, asylum, VAWA petitions, immigration waivers, removal and deportation defense, and administrative appeals. I also handle military immigration matters and selected employment-based cases, including EB-1 petitions, National Interest Waivers, TN classifications, and E-2 investor visas.

My work includes representing clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), immigration courts, and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). Whether a client needs help with a family petition or faces a complicated immigration denial or removal proceeding, my objective is to provide thoughtful legal analysis, realistic advice, and carefully prepared representation.

Before and alongside my immigration law career, I developed a diverse professional background that continues to influence my approach to legal practice. I previously served as a Tribal Chief Judge, gaining valuable experience in judicial decision-making, legal interpretation, and due process. I am also a U.S. Army veteran, having served as a Russian linguist and intelligence analyst in the Military Intelligence Corps during the Gulf War. My background additionally includes college-level teaching and nearly two decades of corporate regulatory compliance and risk management work.

I believe clients deserve honest answers, clear explanations, and direct involvement from their attorney. I take the time to understand each client's circumstances, explain available legal options, and develop an individualized strategy based on the law and the evidence.

Green Chavez Law Firm operates as a fully virtual immigration practice. We offer free initial consultations, transparent flat attorney fees, and convenient appointments by telephone or Zoom. English and Spanish-language assistance is available.

I have been licensed to practice law in California since 2017 (State Bar No. 315379) and am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).
