This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lina My Angel

You can simply turn into a number when you find an immigration law attorney to represent you! However, choosing Lina Baroudi, you will be represented as friend in need of help! Lina wasn't just a passionate law abiding attorney and a pillar of knowledge representing my wife and I, she was also, and... I know she can always be there for me as my Angel. (something I told her several times) Lina is an incredible human being, with an extraordinary perception to others emotions and sentiments. Words are limited to describe how much I appreciate Lina The review above may appear in the form of an advertisement. It is NOT! It is indeed my profound personal view about Lina

  • 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.
