Posted by Emily | November 7, 2017 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend

Deanna's initial advice to me regarding a denied citizenship application was crystal clear and meticulously explained in an unhurried manner. And this was before I even decided to hire her. Well over a decade after moving to the United States -- after many visas and many immigration attorneys -- ...Deanna really stands out as a rare professional in her field. She is extremely well informed, generous and very responsive. I highly recommend her.

Posted by Chris | August 22, 2017 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Visa consulting

My Australian fiancé got a job in the US but we weren't sure how to get a working visa. We had so many questions and Deanna was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend her, she is a true professional.

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.
