Great Service

In November 2015, we hired Jennifer to process a marriage based permanent residency and adjustment of status. It was a very stressful time as I wasn't sure of the right procedures, and during my first years in the U.S. as a student I had gaps in my enrollment due to the political complications in my ...home country and the lack of financial help from back home. Jennifer was very professional and informative and filled out all of our documents on time, followed up with us when needed, and prepared and accompanied us to the interview. In October 2016, we were approved and couldn't have done it without Jennifer. Highly recommend!!!!

Incredible Immigration Attorney

I went to Jennifer during a very difficult time when my immigration status was part of one of the things affected by my divorce - My case was a lot more than just a Greencard waiver due to divorce. It was a lot more complicated than that - I was not only completely heartbroken and lost during this pe...riod of my life but I was about to give up on everything I have ever worked for in this country and go back to a country I didn't know anything about. I just didn't see a possibility to get my life back on track and my legal status adjusted after being left by my ex-husband who's the same person I have been in love with since I was thirteen. When I went to Jennifer I would always approach her with worst case scenario questions and she would always have a comfortable answer and/or many options available for me. She never doubted herself, me or my case. I know attorneys have many other clients but she would reach out to me as soon as she had an update on the case or just reply to one of my questions. She told me my case might take some time, maybe a few years - it took about two years which is a lot less than what I was expecting. I will always be grateful to attorney Jennifer Durkin and my advice to anyone losing hope on their case, please, before you give up come have a consultation with her before you decide on your future.

Great lawyer, fantastic experience

We hired Jennifer in May 2015 to process a marriage based permanent residency and adjustment of status. Jennifer was professional, friendly, informative, and was with us at every step in the process. She filed all of our documents on time, followed up with us when needed, and prepared and accompanied... us to the interview. I had never worked with a lawyer before and found that Jennifer was always there to take my calls and put me at ease about my concerns. She was patient and understanding at all times. The whole process took about 10 months to complete (due to USCIS processing times) and she always made herself available if needed. Additionally, she setup a flexible payment plan that worked with our budget. I would highly recommend working with Jennifer.

The best in town.

She is very professional, responsible and dedicated to the job once she is in. I had cases which were really desperate, I had had another attorney before her but that one simply dropped my case unannounced when she thinks it is difficult. I found Jennifer and gain positive results. She worked all th...ree of my cases successfully and payment scheme is flexible. I had been hopeless on the cases but she did them brilliantly. I can say without hesitation, she is the best in town.

Professional, Understanding and Efficient!

Jennifer worked with us to handle my wife's immigration which we had complicated without trying. She was patient, listened to my story and worked with us to handle what had been defined as not a good case by my corporate lawyer. Jennifer was very good in understanding what exact reasons would help U...SCIS understand that ours was a case of misunderstanding and circumstances that were beyond our control. Very well done Jennifer and we appreciate you and your professionalism.
