Muy agradecida por su trabajo y recomendada. Very thankful for her work and highly recommended.

Me gustó mucho trabajar con la abogada Jessica, ya habíamos tenido varios casos con ella, y gracias a dios recibí mis documentos, hemos tenido otros abogados que desafortunadamente cometieron fraude y con la abogada todo fue un éxito. Yo recomiendo infinitamente a la abogada Jessica Smith Bobadilla y... estoy sumamente agradecida con dios y por su trabajo. I really liked working with the attorney Jessica, we had several cases with her, and thank God I received my documents when I needed them, we have had other lawyers in the past who unfortunately committed fraud and with Jessica Smith Bobadilla everything was a success. I highly recommend this lawyer and I am extremely grateful to God and for her work.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

Jessica helped my wife obtain her Permanent Resident card thanks to her valuable and extraordinary work. She assisted us with all the detail documentation needed to process my wife’s residency application. She provided excellent service and made us confident in our application outcome. We couldn’t be... more happier with her legal services and will continue working with her until my wife obtains her US Citizenship. I would highly recommend Jessica’s legal services for anyone needing a dependable immigration attorney.

Highly recommend her services.

We have used her services she is a responsible and trustworthy attorney. She worked with us from start to finish and we had a successful outcome in our case. A very friendly staff always ready to help. I have recommended attorney Jessica Smith to all my friends and family.

DO NOT HIRE!!

Absolutely the worst mistake I could have made. Her staff never return phone calls, they make excuses for why she can't meet with the client and after you sign the contract she steals your money and you never see her again, only a 2 cent legal assistant to give you "advice" will answer your questions.... She has no evidence of any legal knowledge, only gave us a horrible experience for thousands of wasted dollars.

I am sorry you had an experience with our firm that seems to be less than desirable. I would have to dispute that I have no evidence of legal knowledge as I was a professor, director of a recognized immigration non-profit and have a very high rate of success with our cases.. If you are an actual client I would be happy to meet with you and see what your specific concerns are regarding your legal issue. Please give us the opportunity for a free consultation.

"I cannot endorse this lawyer enough! Jessica is a living, breathing immigration encyclopedia combined with a passion for helping those that cannot help themselves. She has won at the trial level, the appeals level and even in several (not just one) Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal. Very few lawyers can say this. If there is an answer to your immigration or asylum question, she will find it."

"I have known Jessica for over ten years. Jessica cares about her clients, has integrity, while having the ability to come up with creative solutions for her clients. She frequently speaks about immigration issues and has extensive removal experience. Her legal acumen is illustrated by the fact that she is currently an immigration professor at a University."
