Highly Recommend

Working with Chris was wonderful. He is very friendly and very welcoming. He was always available for any questions or concerns that we had during the green card process. He made the process very easy and we really appreciate all of the help he provided us. I highly recommend Christopher Peng!

CASE DISMISSED!!!

Christoper was my court appointed attorney and usually court appointed attorneys want you to just settle but not Christopher he really had my back and listened to what I had to say he was very knowledgeable and actually fought for me. He got my case dismissed and I couldn't be happier having him in m...y corner. Thank you!

Our familly appreciates your assistance.

My wife and I found Chris Peng through the internet. We were recently married and wanted to apply for my Adjust of Status. Chris was very helpful through the entire process and was very honest about each step. We just received my Green Card and we couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. We 100% rec...ommend Chris Peng!

Professional, Knowledgable, Consistent...

I found Mr. Peng online and when I called I was able to setup a quick free consultation. I was actually caught off guard because of how friendly and just genuinely concerned he seemed about my case as opposed to some attorneys I've hired in the past. He seemed really excited and passionate in talking... about the law and my rights in the matter. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the laws regarding my case and knew the exact steps necessary to move forward. He was able to get my case dismissed and now I don't have any lingering legal problems over my head.

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.
