Simplemente la mejor abogada de migración.

Danna y su equipo son personas íntegras y dedicadas. Te hablan con la verdad y cobran lo que se debe cobrar. Para mi Danna Young es la mejor y jamás utilizaré otro servicio en casos migratorios.

Removing conditions

From the first phone call I had with Ms. Danna, I knew she was the right lawyer. Very professional, very knowledgeable, and instilled confidence in the case. She was there through every step of the process, which only increased my peace of mind. Her assistant, Ingrid, was also very professional and a...lways attended to my questions on time. I would without a doubt recommend Ms. Danna to anyone who seeking a great lawyer.

Fantastic

My husband and I used Danna to help in obtaining permanent residence status for him based on our marriage. Even after we attempted the process ourselves, Danna graciously stepped in and helped us fix our mistakes. We asked Danna to accompany us to our interview. Our interviewing officer immediately c...omplemented the cleanliness and organization of our paperwork and said "this is what happens when you hire good council." We were literally in and out of our interview in 15 minutes with an approval letter! Danna and her assistant Ingrid were both so professional and so helpful throughout the process. I really can't say enough about how great she was.

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.
