The most unscrupulous immigration lawyer

This lawyer was supposed to file an I-824 for my mom since October of 2019. She charged $2000.00 for her fees and $465.00 was for the filing fee. She was given $1200.00 dollars on 10/21/2019 the day my mom went for the consultation. After three months of constantly calling her office most of the tim...e getting only the answering machine and no return call from the messages left and the few times that the receptionist decided to answer the only solution from her was she will let the lawyer know that my mom called and that she don't know what was done to file the I-824. On one conversation she told my mom that she have to pay more money in order for them to start the filing and on 01/23/ 2020 my mom paid $400.00 more to Alma Aquino the receptionist. After that there was no communication from this lawyer or the receptionist despite phone calls and messages from myself and my mom as to what is being done to file the paper except for one instance where the receptionist answered the phone and told my mom the associate lawyer Puri is handling the case. I spoke to Puri receptionist on 11/19/2020 and she told me that they don't know any Jennifer Durkin and Puri name is on the receipt that my mom received. Lawyers like these need to be disbarred and locked up for robbing innocent people. Hope something can be done through this medium and I am taking it up with higher offices.

Professionalism and Expertise

I hired Jennifer after going through a total of five different legal consultations. Being also highly recommended from other attorneys, once I've got to spend one hour talking with her, I knew my case was in the best hands. I came to the US with a K1 fiance visa on a Bona fine relationship. Unfortuna...tely, we were married just a year and got separated even before I got my conditional green card. Then I got notified to be interview by USCIS. I panicked, but Jennifer's expertise helped me built a robust case for the interview. Based on the evidence of the bona fine relationship and also proceeding on a robust jurisprudence, the case got approved on the same USCIS interview, and I got my green card without additional processing time! I know I will contact her in the future for any Immigration related processes. Thank you, Jennifer!

Great Immigration Attorney

My immigration case was not simple. I came here as a child, but had 2 minor infractions from the 1990's. Since the infractions were old and minor, I applied for my I-485 without the help of a lawyer, but that application was denied. That's when I sought legal help. The 2 minor charges were dismissed... with the help of an esteemed immigration advocate, who then recommended Jennifer Durkin for my new I-485 application. Once I saw Ms. Durkin's outstanding background, I knew it would be great to have her in my corner. She got my new application going right away, and was very thorough in building strong support for my case. Jennifer met all USCIS deadlines, responded to their request for information, and accompanied me to my interview. My I-485 was approved, and I have my Green Card. I'm very grateful to Ms. Durkin for helping me, and highly recommend her for immigration matters.
