Best Immigration Lawyer in San Francisco, CA and the US!

can't say enough about Jacqueline, so I am going to be a little all over the place. My last immigration lawyer and I parted ways three years ago . I was not clear on where I stood with regards not only to the immigration law and my record, . Jacqueline was recommended to me as very knowledgeable and... most importantly a fighter. Those things were absolutely true. I can't stress the fighter part enough. From the first phone call I had with her, it was clear that she really knows what she is talking about. She also made the whole experience very pleasant and very easy for me and my family. Jacqueline worked long hours and kept us informed on what was going on, she is smart, and cares about people. That was a very welcome trait for my family, as we were going through an extremely stressful ordeal. She was upfront, straightforward and accessible. My case was also a bit unique and Jacqueline thought outside the box. After taking over my case two years ago, Jacqueline was able to get my case Re-open with the Board Of Immigration Appeals after so many disappointments. She is an answer to our prayers. Jacqueline and her legal team have been extremely professional and extremely helpful in helping me achieve my dream of becoming permanent resident. She knows the law and all the options that are needed to win a case. You have nothing to lose other than the opportunity to be represented by one of the very best in the profession. Mrs. Jacqueline is a shining star. I found a new friend, but not just a friend... a GOOD friend. Our lives have changed forever and the future looks very bright and my immigration case was re-open, Was approved and I am now waiting for my Green Card. Thanks Jacqueline. P.S. Compensation for her services was also reasonable.

Excellent Lawyer, Jacqueline took my case when no other attorney would take my case, VERY Difficult case

I have been waiting to write this review because I have been think of how to express my gratitude in words. I don't think I will very find the right words to express how thankful I am. I called so many Lawyers and they would say "Sorry can't help you" but Jacqueline listen to everything I had to say... and she took the case and worked very hard on the case. My husband was sentence last year and he took a plea and it had immigration consequences. Jacqueline even had a conference call with Norton Toby regarding my husband and she also had Neil Barr working on the case and was also conference in with Norton Toby. Because after my husband entered the plea, Immigration took him into custody. He was moved to LA and Jacqueline was their every step. She know where he was at and she would call the immigration location if my husband was not receive his medication. During this process I was very scarred and nervous and Neil and Jacqueline had the patience to still work with me. Jacqueline also worked with my husband criminal attorney. Finally he was released from INS. Jacqueline is the best Immigration Lawyer you could every hire. THANK YOU JACQUELINE!!!

Very deligent and affordable immigration lawyer

I was impressed how fast (less then 1 month after submission) my green card approval arrived. Yes, I spent a lot of time preparing docs but mostly coz. the lawyer insisted on doing a good job here.

"As a criminal defense attorney, I often turn to Jacqueline for advice on crafting a plea for my clients that will avoid adverse immigration consequences. Her blog is also a tremendous resource: www.newimmigrationcases.com. I use her blog to find recent cases in which people were deported/rendered inadmissible for their particular convictions so that I can be sure to avoid those pleas where possible. For anyone seeking an immigration attorney, I have no reservations in recommending Jacqueline Brown Scott. She is extremely attentive to each of her clients (attorney clients and those faced with immigration issues alike). She knows her business!"
