About Jennifer

Jennifer has 18 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

Patient and Knowledgeable

Posted by

Ours was a relatively easy case, but we still felt it would be prudent to hire an attorney. We were so happy that we found Jennifer. We had three-four meetings with her before the interview. On each occasion, she patiently addressed all my concerns. She was also typically very good with responding to followup questions via email and/or text messages. We were reassured to see that the timeline of events turned out to be exactly as she had predicted. It was also readily apparent that we were working with someone deeply familiar with immigration law.  Thanks to Jennifer, I can now look forward to growing old and cranky with my beloved wife (and temperamental cat) in this country.

Awesome!

Posted by

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!

Caring and Professional

Posted by

Since the first phone call, Jennifer was very professional and caring! I honestly could not have had a best attorney to help me with the immigration process - Jennifer is extremely organized, very clear with instructions, and you can tell that she really cares about her clients. Even in our immigration interview, the interviewer acknowledged her professionalism, experience, and knowledge of immigration law! Thank you Jennifer for all you have done for us!

Excellent Lawyer

Posted by

Jennifer not only has a excellent skill as a lawyer but also has a great personality. She took care of everything and even came with us during our immigration interview. The paperwork was in such a great shape that our interview with the immigration office literally took < 5 min and I received my wife’s green card < 2 weeks after that. The best part of this adventure was her attitude though. She’s an extremely kind person and sincerely wants to help people. A soft soul, kind person, and excellent lawyer; highly recommend! =D

Green card

Posted by

I want to start by saying that Jennifer is one of the most understanding persons I met. She explained every detail of the process and she made me feel welcomed. I would recommend her to anyone for your immigration process. I spoke with many immigration lawyers in Colorado Springs and Denver and none of them helped me like she did and her prices are reasonable. Thank you Jennifer for everything!

Greencard

Posted by

I had a conditional green card and was getting mail of USCIS for supporting documents. Where my other lawyer previously failed with to less information and letting me in the unknown, was when I contacted Jennifer to take a look at my case and to take over. And I am so happy that I contacted her because she nailed my case with her informative choice of knowing exactly what is needed to submit all of my documents in the best way possible! I am so happy that I finally got my real Greencard and that I can move on with my life! It happened faster that I could think and the brand-new green card was sitting in my mailbox! Thousand thanks to Jennifer <3

Immigrattion information

I have only spoke with Jennifer by phone because we live on the Western slope and she has given me more information over the phone than any other attorney we have spoke to. She was super nice and smart with the questions we had. She will be getting all of our business and I will highly recommend her to anyone needing any kind of assistance. Thanks so much see ya soon.

She’s the best

Posted by

Jennifer assisted me where all the others had failed, since moment one I entered the meeting room she was very friendly and knowdgeble. She was extremely patience and very open to hear all the details of my case since moment one, I really straggled with that part with the other lawyers before her. She made sure I understood in our first appointment that she was going to do her very best to win my case and help me out with everything I needed. Jennifer followed up with me regularly and kept me informed of every step on my immigration process, what it is amazing because we know how these kind of processes can turn pretty stressful sometimes. We went through so much but she fought until we won the case. I loved the way how she cares and values her job, she is the best and the most people person and professional lawyer in town for sure.

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.

I went to law school with Ms. Wilkens and am certain she will provide knowledgeable and vigorous representation to her clients. Ms. Wilkens has worked in the field of immigration law for over a decade and has worked with high profile businesses in this area of law.
