Consultation for Asylum application

It was a good experience talking with the lawyer Ms. Baroudi. She managed to address all my concerns and provide me with the necessary information within the 30 minute consultation.

Successful outcome on a difficult case(received our green card today!))

After consulting with several different lawyers that left us feeling hopeless and uncertain, we were fortunate to have found Lina. We are profoundly grateful for her support and expertise. Her contributions have not only provided resolution but also peace of mind during a challenging time. Once agai...n, thank you Lina for being an outstanding attorney and for making a significant difference in our lives.

The best

I would like to thank Lina for the effort she put into my complicated case. I have worked with several attorneys and I was lucky that I found her name while I was searching in google as she did not have a Yelp account at the time... In my opinion Lina is one of the best lawyers in the area and the ...most Honesty and follow-up of files, her prices are very reasonable and within everyone’s reach, she is very smart and experienced in the way she analyzes any case and the way she asks questions that give you the feeling that you are in a real interview with an immigration officer. If your case is difficult, I advise you to work with Lina, or at least take her opinion, and then I I'm sure you will hire her and she won't let you down

Highly Recommended

Lina was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and committed to supporting my husband and I resolve our case. She took a lot of time to explain each process and step in detail and was always there to answer any additional questions we had. We also recommended her to a friend who also has nothing but posi...tive feedback about Lina and her work.

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.
