I thank God for finding lawyer Jennifer Doerrie

You can trust your case in the hands of lawyer Jennifer Doerrie. She is very competent, honest and extremely committed to the client. She is organized and meets deadlines, in addition to accompanying the client in all details from the beginning to the end of the process. I just have to thank her for ...everything she did for me. My case was difficult and she still resolved it successfully. I can truly say that lawyer Jennifer Doerrie is an excellent lawyer.

Very professional and trustworthy attorney!!

My wife and I are happy to have found Jennifer someone who is so kind, reliable, and professional. When we first went to her we didn’t really know the process to obtain residency. Jennifer was patient and helpful and explained everything thoroughly. She did ALL of the work and was on top of everythin...g. She made sure we were prepared every step of the way. Jennifer would go to immigration conferences and was always informed with any changes in immigration laws. Whenever we had concerns about our case we would email her and she would get back to us promptly. Jennifer has great work ethic and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Without a doubt I recommend her to anyone who is looking for an immigration lawyer.

"I endorse this lawyer. She worked for C.S.S., the immigration public defender, before moving to California. She always had a desire to do better by all of her clients, and sometimes asked me for feedback on her cases as I was then known as one of the most aggressive defense lawyers in Atlanta, long before deportation defense became "big business." I am not at all surprised that she has become one of the most prominent immigration attorneys in her geographical area. I would hire her in a New York minute."

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.
