Posted by Theoneste | December 12, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Mr

She worked on my permanent residence. She was always giving feedback and support whenever needed. She was so nice since we met her till we got our green card. She is knowledgeable. Our interviews were less than five minutes then I was like what??? Are we done?. I guess she took the time to work on ou...r case.

Posted by Maria | March 08, 2015 | Immigration

Lisa solved my case for me that I had tried for years in with other lawyers.

I tried for years to bring my son quicker to the United States, everybody told me he could not come quicker. Lisa took time with me and fought immigration to get an older priority date that my son deserved. Thank you Lisa.

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.
