Thank you so much Cedric !!!!

Cedric helped me with a Temporary Work Permit for Canada and he was fantastic. A true expert, he was always super responsive, supportive and he had his way of getting in touch with the consulate to make sure my application was getting the attention it needed. I am a USA citizen, and following a DUI... conviction in California, I was banned from entering Canada. Cedric walked me through the process of obtaining a special waiver that would enable me to pass the Canadian border again. He made this whole scary process completely painless for me. I am now able to go do business in Canada again ! I recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable/perseverant immigration attorney.

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.
