Attorney Barnett is a highly experienced and competent immigration attorney. She takes on individuals as specific action case. She reviews my case on its merit and was forthright in suggesting the most options going forward. She kept me abreast of development as she followed up. She was not presump...tuous but gave adequate attention to my case as well (I am sure) the cases of other clients.

"I have practiced immigration and citizenship law for about 35 years. I first became professionally-acquainted with Pamelia S.

Subsequently, we conferenced about several different employment-based immigration cases. I have found Pamelia to be very knowledgeable about employment-based immigration law and practice. She has developed specialized expertise through many years of work experience in this sub-specialty. She is honest and well-organized. Her fees are competitive. I unequivocally endorse Pamelia S. Barnette in the sub-specialty of employment-based immigration law."

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.
