Excellent results for me and my wife

My family members, me, and my wife have all been helped by Ollie jefferson for over 15 years. I was a client when she sent out letters asking people to come get her file while she was ill. since she was goiing to keep her office open, i asked her to keep me and my wifes file. she kept working both... cases and we both got the green card and now US citizenship. I know too many people who she helped.

Ollie helps U.S. Citizens as well

I am a U.S. citizen, and I applied for my husband to get his green card. I consulted with Mrs. Jefferson for a second opinion on my support obligations for him. She explained everything, thoroughly and patiently. She took the time to make sure I understood the situation fully and made sure I was abl...e to contact her if needed, via phone, and email for any follow-up questions that I had. The Attorney whom we paid to handle his case, did not thoroughly explain anything to me including my obligations and simply directed me to sign documents. The original attorney failed to answer the questions I had and that's why I sought the advice of Mrs. Jefferson. She showed genuine interest in my situation and eloquently answered my questions and handled me with great care and professionalism.

Fights Hard For Clients

This is the person to have on your side. She stands up for you, and some people don't like that. She helped my wife a lot, and even went over important things over and over with her. When we went to the interview, we were so prepared that my wife said it seems like they were asking just the minor que...stions. Best of all, they gave her the visa!

Professional misconduct

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2004
