Irene Mugambi - The Best!

When other's either refused to take our case or said it could not be done for an international adoption from a country in Africa with complicated immigration and adoption laws Irene was open, honest and trustworthy from the get go. She said that it could happen and it did! Her personal communication,... advise and experience was right on target. She is the Lawyer with a Passionate Heart! I highly recommend!

Adoption and green card denial appeal

Irene was excellent with both cases. Helped us adopt our neice and nephew just before they turned 16 so that we could get them green cards. We filed the green cards on our own and later found out USCIS denied the greencard because they did not understand how Texas adoption law is written. We retained... her services to do the appeal... One month later both kids have greencards in their hand... Amazing results! Only regret is not retaining her to do initial green card paperwork applications.

Avvo Rating

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.
