Citizenship assistance

Vanessa is a very good and frank person. We had a good working relationship. She can always advise you in a good way. She helped me get my citizenship and my son's as well. She always answer the phone in and if she can't she always calls back. If she can't help you, she tells you where you can go for... help and try to make sure you are happy as a client. I would recommend her to anybody needing legal services.

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.
