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!

One word, highly professional

It was a pleasure working with Jessica. She is extremely clever, knowledgeable, efficient and committed. She spent an extensive amount of time on different aspects of my case with genuine concern. I always found her respectful, confident, honest, patient, responsive, and the most important, approacha...ble. With the first encounter, I believe you will sense that Jessica is an experienced and exceptional attorney. I had an outstanding experience and recommend her without any reservation.

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.
