Excellent Follow up

Jennifer worked on my immigration case; my husband whom is a US citizen and I were really pleased by the service she provided us. She helped us gather all the information we need in a very organized way. She reviewed over and over all the papers before filing the applications. She tracked everything... and kept us updated in a timely manner. She responded promptly to all our questions and concerns. She was following on the case till the end and without her efforts I wouldn't know how and what to prepare for the immigration paperwork process. I'm extremely glad and satisfied that she made this work successfully. I recommend working with Jennifer; she is an excellent lawyer.

Abogada Excelente/ Excellent Lawyer

When I was detained I contracted the attorney Jennifer Potter so that she would help me stop my deportation for the fear that I had to return to Mexico. I told everything about my case to Esquire Potter and with her experience and knowledge about these types of cases, she presented my case before Imm...igration in such a way that I was moved to tears, something difficult to do for a man like me. She took the time necessary to understand my case, my life, my family, and all of the complicated factors in my case. I really appreciate and value the personalized attention and great dedication that she demonstrated in fighting my case. I highly recommend her. (Translation of Spanish below) Cuando estuve detenido contrate a la abogada Jennifer Potter para que me ayude a detener mi proceso de deportación por mi temor a retornar a Mexico. Le conté todo sobre mi caso a la Dra. Potter y ella con la experiencia y dominio en estos temas presento ante migración mi caso de tal forma que me robo unas lárimas que como hombre que soy no es cosa fácil. Ella se tomó el tiempo necesario para comprender mi caso, mi vida, mi familia y todas las complicaciones que involucraban el mismo. Realmente aprecio y valoro la atencion personalizada y gran dedicacion que ella tuvo para luchar mi caso. Yo la recomiendo enormemente.
