Highly recommended

We highly recommend Johanna M.Torres, my process with her was smooth and successful. She is an expert “specially with waivers” straightforward, committed, kind and ethical attorney. Johanna speaks various languishes as well She was always making sure my concerns were being addressed every single... step of a complicated and long process. Even to the day of my return to the US. she kept in touch and congratulated me for our success. My best advise to any one is to be very honest with her so you can get the best advice and a very successful process. Thank you Johanna we are forever grateful, Best wishes.

Altamente Recomendada!

Gracias al excelente trabajo de Johanna estoy legal en el país. Después de 14 años sin esperanzas y de experiencias amargas con otros abogados, finalmente encontramos a Johanna que fue la luz en nuestro camino en este proceso. Ella siempre fue muy profesional, sincera y sobretodo amable. Cualquie...r duda o pregunta que tuvimos siempre estuvo allí para contestarla. Quedamos profundamente contentos por haberla escogido como nuestra abogada y la recomendamos 100% para ayudar a nuestra gente latina.

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.
