Highly recommend Cara Surell

My wife and I needed to have our will and estate planning documents completed in the right way and Cara was excellent throughout the process. Answered my never ending questions, communicated effective and was patient. She explained everything in detail, what we needed and more importantly, what we ...didn't need. I would use her services again happily.

Family petitions/Immigration

I contacted Cara for an immigration process for my parents back on 2015, after our consultation I decided to hire her, at the beginning of the process she was lovely and followed back on any status, after a few months things started getting a little complicated and it was hard to get a hold of her, d...id not reply to email on a timely matter and didn't want to take my calls and i know this because every time I called their receptionists told me a different story about her whereabouts. I fell this was unprofessional. She was helpful up to some point, unfortunately because of her lack of communication I would not recommend her.

Custody for Grandparents

My sister is not mentally well, and Cara helped my parents with obtaining custody of my niece. Cara is very personable and my parents adored her. She really cared about our case. Thank you, Cara!

Such a blessing to our family!!!

I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done for my family and myself in the past year. Cara has been such an amazing attorney supporting my mom through her process to obtain separation. My mom had a divorce from my father who I'll never speak to ever again and made this process as smoothly a...s possible. Even though her last days with us this year since my mom was diagnosed with cancer soon after her divorce , Cara did such a wonderful job helping transfer guardianship of my sisters over to me, it has never been a difficult process on her end. She has helped us and was always 100% invested in our situation. It has been one very difficult mental/physical battle within our family, but all I can do is to keep thanking God for showing my mom the Jackson firm was where we would get help from Cara. Cara has been such a blessing to us through your firm and we can't say thank you enough for supporting our families needs. I will always refer you to whoever needs an attorney if ever in the future, and we will always know you as our families attorney now as well as into the future if the need arises. Thank you for all you do!
