Jennifer Durkin

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.
