This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Kristen M Hart

I would like to say about her and the firm that they are doing a excellent job for my husband's immigration/ deportation case. Ms Hart did what she promised had a case dismissed in less than a year. We are almost at our final stages of his case. I put my faith in her and her team. My husband and ...I have been fighting this case for about 4 years. Ms Hart gave us hope.

Case Dismissed

I had an awful misunderstanding and I was charged of a very serious crime. I was truly innocent, but no one believed me. Miss Hart represented me, and explained the process to me in detail, and without ever having to testify, she got my case dismissed. She worked really closely with the District Atto...rney and they seemed to end up on my side too. I was overwhelmed with joy when the whole awful situation ended, and I was so happy to have hired the Law Office of Michael S. Cabrera, and Ms. Hart.

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.
