Asylum, travel document application

To process my asylum application; I needed to have an attorney to prepare and file my application in a professional manner. After visiting and interviewing many lawyers in Arizona, I found Jeffrey Kilmark the best lawyer between them, very professional, client oriented, honest and very responsible. ... I hired Mr. Kilmark for process of my asylum application, he was able to file my application very quickly in a short period of time, during this period I had a family problem he was able to expedite my interview, and scheduled interview date in less than two months justifying my problem. He was present at the time of interview in California to support me and my asylum case was approved within 4 months. Due to my family problem, I left US for a period of time but through his hard work he helped me return to US and remain in my status which was not an easy job. I would like to express me regards to him for his hard working and professionalism. I would like to recommend him! If you need an immigration attorney please contact Jeffrey Kilmark make an appointment and discuss the matter with him and you will find that he is the best among attorneys and how he will help you.

Experienced lawyer with great people skills

Jeff is an experienced and charismatic immigration lawyer that help me and my wife submitting the paperwork for my permanent residence. Talking with him and his wife was very comforting for us and they answered all our questions. They made this process easier on us and we felt great and confident... during our interview. Thanks Jeffrey and Gloria for your help.

Not just a Lawyer, but one who cares!

Jeffrey A. Kilmark went above and beyond with his service, so much so that we attained services for my husband that we did not plan on attaining & did not know were available, at a fair and affordable cost. He handled my immigration case with care and great organization, provided copies of everything..., and explained all of my options and possible outcomes thoroughly. He has also been easy to reach and is more than happy to answer questions that come up, even though it has been a year since we successfully completed my case. Him and his wife even brought donuts for my family at one of his home visits! Very satisfied client....

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.
