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!

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.
