About Jennifer

Jennifer has 17 years of experience working in immigration law.  Jennifer is a Navy veteran and was employed as a legal assistant to a criminal defense attorney and then a personal injury attorney before she joined Hurley Immigration as a paralegal in 2002. After Mr. Hurley's retirement from the practice of law, Jennifer graduated from the University of Denver with a J.D. degree so that she can utilize her 17+ years of experience to continue to provide immigration services to employers and families as an immigration attorney.

Her immigration-related areas of experience are family-based petitions, naturalization applications, employment-based non-immigrant visas as E-3s, H-1Bs, L-1s, O-1s, and TNs, and employment-based immigration such as PERMs and I-140 Petitions.

Jennifer's mission is to fully investigate every option our clients may have, and enable them to obtain and maintain lawful status in the United States of America. This is truly her passion.

Review Jennifer Wilkens

Awesome!

Posted by HOLLYMon Aug 12 2019

She helped us file for permanent residence for my husband. Throughout the entire process, she was always available and was so reassuring about everything. We had no worries, knowing Jennifer knew exactly what she was doing. She handled the entire process for us and we are very very happy with how smoothly and timely everything went. We highly recommend her!

Relationship: Friend

Jennifer and I were in law school together. Of our classmates, she had the most extensive experience in her field; becoming an attorney was merely the next step. Jennifer genuinely cares about her clients, provides free initial consultation on the clients' schedule and will work hard to resolve whatever issue the client needs help with. If I needed an immigration attorney, I would not hesitate to ask Jennifer to help as I know she will provide the best help I could get.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

Ms. Wilkens and I worked together for three years. She is extremely organized and intelligent, and sincerely dedicated to her clients' best interests. I now work at a nonprofit, and feel confident referring clients who do not qualify as low-income for our services to her -- I know they will be in good hands.
