Succsesful outcome of my natiralization :)

I highly recommend Attorney Lim for the successful outcome of my naturalization application. I had contacted several attorneys about filing a mandamus lawsuit after my second naturalization application dragged on without a word of explanation from USCIS. After talking to Attorney Lim, she steered m...e in the right direction. She astutely explained the current immigration laws and policies that were relevant to my case, and advised me on the steps to take to achieve a favorable decision. With her help, I am now a U.S. citizen.

Success on special Immigrant self-petition

Attorney Lim was kind, professional and responsive on my immigration matter. I went to Jennifer Lim when my former immigration attorney did not think that my chances of a self-petition was good. I was facing a filing deadline in two weeks. During our initial consultation, Jennifer quickly identifie...d a winnable visa strategy for me and alerted me of the possible pitfalls. She was also competent in probate court, by getting an ex parte order issued on a very short timeline. Several months after submission of my visa petition, we received the approval from USCIS. I am very excited with my new life in the United States, and would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

Awesome Service

I went to Jennifer Lim when my former attorney could not help me with an old deportation order. Attorney Lim helped me sort through the mess and was able to set aside the deportation order in the San Francisco Immigration Court. My family and I are truly grateful for her help. She's patient, d...edicated and very knowledgeable about the law. Thanks so much By: "S.R."

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.
