About Jennifer
Biography
Jennifer has over 23 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 23+ 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.
