Janet is an experienced and knowledgeable attorney.

I went to Janet with my immigration issue (L1-H1) which needed immediate attention. She was responsive, patient and truly empathized with me. The problem I had was not as grave but rather unusual and she made sure that all my doubts were addressed. She was very patient with me and never failed to ans...wer my calls or revert mails. She made the charges for the case pretty clear initially and did not surprise me with numerous later charges unlike some(which takes away from the noble profession and your trust on the intention of the person). I highly appreciate her professionalism and good heart. I would recommend Janet for her in-depth knowledge on the immigration law and pure intention to help people.

Janet Was Most Helpful and Very Reassuring

Janet assisted me during the application process for my husband's immigrant visa. From the very beginning she was very reassuring, she helped me look into all of the questions that I had, and was an important source of support and knowledge; all of this contributed to the positive outcome of my case.... She is very responsive to me as a client and I am very happy to have found her on Avvo.com and to find her excellent reviews to be nothing but truthful. Thank you, Janet!

Could not have found a better attorney, and a more patient and compassionate person. I'm forever grateful!

My son's case was very different and complicated. Janet researched and moved forward timely and perfectly, and was so patient and respectful of my endless questions and concerns. She was positive and real. No empty promises! Janet delivered and facilitated my dream to come true for my son. I hi...ghly recommend Janet Cheetham for any Immigration issue. Just be honest with her, and she'll get a successful resolution to your case. I appreciate her professionalism, her integrity, and her humanity. Maria

"Janet Cheetham is one of the premier immigration attorneys in the Pacific Northwest, and indeed, in the country.
