A Real Professional

I have worked with dozens of attorneys over the years and I must say that Jessica Marks is the best one. Her knowledge of the law and the specifics of my case were certainly expert level. What I liked most about Jessica was her prompt response time. There were many occasions where I would email h...er with technical questions and within minutes receive a response even after office hours and on weekends. Despite her large case load (which comes with working for a prestigious law firm) she made me feel like my case was her only one and she was on call for me 24/7. Even after my case was concluded (successfully I might add) she would still follow up with me to ensure I had appropriate travel documents for an international trip I was taking. She would follow up after all of her legal obligations to me had ended telling me that she genuinely cares for her clients and their interests. I have told her numerous times that I wished she practiced other types of law as her expertise and professionalism are invaluable. You would be lucky to have her represent you! Thanks Jessica!

Great Job!

Jessica was great to work with while applying for an L1 visa from Canada to the United States. The process was very easy and Jessica made sure I was informed and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. My Visa process was requested on a short time frame and Jessica ensured all documents and ...appointments were made to ensure the process could happen as soon as possible. Jessica also has done a great job to follow up with me once my application was approved to ensure I received all required documents. Jessica is very easy and personable to work with which makes the application process so pleasant. I would highly recommend working with Jessica and I will continue to do so for all my legal matters in the future.

Outstanding Attorney!

Jessica is an outstanding lawyer. She handled my NIW Green Card Application. All my documentation was perfectly perpetrated and filed by her in no time. What is even more impressive is that I received my Green Card five months after filling. Jessica is extraordinary knowledgeable and responsible,... extremely passionate about her work. She kept me informed throughout the whole process. Jessica is always available for her clients. I consider myself lucky to have Jessica Marks as immigration attorney. I highly recommend Jessica for any immigration issues! Thank you very much Jessica!!! You are Amazing!!!

Jessica is an excellent attorney. Very reliable and gets the job done!

I have been with Jessica and Jan ever since I got my Fulbright J1 waiver through extra ordinary efforts by PILG. Jessica had a major role in securing my J1 waiver, and she subsequently filed my national interest waiver. I have been with Jessica and colleagues at PILG all the way till I got my green c...ard. She is awesome! Extremely efficient and very professional. It has been the best decision with my life to work with her and other collegues at PILG. Thanks Jessica!
