Great lawyer... amazing results..

From the beginning of my case, I was told my immigration case was hopeless by other lawyers in NV and AZ that took my case and I was told to just accept the deportation and not waste the time or money... My family hired the law offices of Matthew Green in Tucson AZ , who advised me also that my cas...e was near impossible but they can get me home on Bail.. basically I was buying time to spend with my daughters and family ... Mrs. Jesse Evans-Shroeder took my case over... Jesse represented me in front of the Government and made each court appearance count.. With new ideas and arguments that were amazing.. I went from a hopeless case, to winning my case and keeping my US residency and even a good shot at citizenship!! Mrs. Evans is very passionate about her work and treats you like a human being even like you're family. Even during court appearance, she made the whole process easier and less stressful... She fights for you and argues your case with total confidence and no fear of the government attorney or judge.. She was straight forward and keeps you totally informed during the entire court proceeding process!! From beginning to end.. When She won my case in court you can tell she was very happy for my family and I.. which says a lot to me about the person she is, both professionally as my lawyer and as a human being.. My family and I are forever grateful that we found her and she made the impossible happen for me.. I strongly recommend anyone in the immigration system to hire Mrs. Jesse Evans-Schroeder as their attorney .. She will do everything in her power to help you win your case... Thank you very much

The biggest blessing.

we had hired Jessie back in August of 2014 since then her and her team have helped us and my husband with his legal status. after we didn't pass our interview with immigration we had to do a waiver. it was the most heartbreaking thing we ever had to go through. Jesse stepped up and helped us get thro...ugh it. she went up and beyond what was expected of her. she answered every question we had and provided us with all the information that we needed. She made my husband and myself feel absolutely comfortable in every situation. without her and the Law Offices of Matthew Green I don't know what would have happened with my husband and I. with them we received the biggest blessing, my husband is now a resident of the United States, and when it comes time to getting his citizenship we will definitely go back to the Law Offices of Matthew green with Jesse. I would honestly recommend them and her to anybody in need of the same services. She also treated us as if we were apart of her and didn't shut us down to any question we had.

Professional, and personable with great communication

My experience with Jesse Evans-Schoeder was nothing but high quality professionalism. Clear instructions with timely communications, she has made the experience that could've been very stressful into something I could relax about.

Kind and Forthright

Jesse and her team helped me to obtain permanent residence in the US. They made it clear what I needed to provide for them and how the process would go. I can't thank them enough for doing that for me.

We cannot thank Jesse enough for what she did for us!!!

My wife and I applied for her residency. After submitting all the required forms, paperwork and completing the interview process, we got an "intent to deny" letter. The letter stated that our option was to submit a waiver within 30 days or the petition would be denied. You can imagine what my wife... and I felt when we got it. We immediately started looking for immigration attorneys; we interviewed with a couple that simply stated that the case was very complicated and gave us little hope to get it approved. My wife found Jesse on the internet and we decided to call her for an appointment. We were expecting more of the same, but we were pleasantly surprised. She took a completely different approach, she took the time to review our case and gave us the peace of mind we desperately needed. She answered all of our questions and advised of what needed to be done and documents we needed to bring. To say that we walked out of our meeting extremely impressed and optimistic is an understatement. She worked around our schedule for follow up meetings and always had time for us. She did not do or submit anything before consulting us and walking us through the process. She took an extremely stressful and scary situation and made it look easy. After submitting the waiver, my wife got approved within weeks and now has her residency. As the title of this review says "We cannot thank Jesse enough" for everything she did for us. One thing is to hire an attorney, but another, is to find someone that cares about your situation and does not treat you as just another case. We found her, and if you have a similar situation, don't look anywhere else. SHE IS EXCELLENT!!!!!
