The Best.

Roxie is amazing, compassionate, extremely knowledgeable and a true advocate for her clients. She took on my very challenging case and won after other local lawyers had previously told me I had no chance…Excellent is an understatement for her service.

Posted by Thiru Pulagura | January 10, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Excellent Immigration lawyer

She is the best for the H1B visa and employment-based Green cards. She is the only expert in Albuquerque for H1B visas.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
