Expertise Greatly Appreciated

I contacted Jenny Lin regarding a tax issue for one of my clients. She provided great insight and assisted me in understanding the nuances of the tax issue. She is clearly knowledgeable on the issue, but also thoughtful in how to best approach it given my client's needs and circumstances. I would hig...hly recommend Jenny Lin for anyone needing assistance with domestic or international tax issues.

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.
