Thanks JOP I can now go back to my country after 25 yrs

For the past 25 years I have lived in the US under the shadows with no status. People took advantage of me for many years. I couldn't find work and couldn't support myself. I was referred to JOP by a friend I felt very comfortable with her. She outlined the plan to help me legalize my status. In 3... months I received work card and social for the follow er time. In anothr3 months JOP delivered my hen card. I was finally able to see my family in my country. This woman is a blessing.

I couldn't have done it without her

After several years of living in this country without any statusI decided to follow my friends advice and see Ma. P. I was scared to death about deportation because I had lived in the shadows for so long. Ms P put my mind at ease and assured me she would take care of my situation. Not only did she h...elp me get a work card which allowed me to get a social security card for the first time but she delivered my green card personally. You cannot imagine the feeling after being in this country for 20 years without documents. For the first time I was able to travel back to my country to see my family who I had not seen in 20 years. Ms P made this possible. I thank God for her. I recommend her to everyone.

Bravo Joanie!!!

I hired Joanie P after my wife moved out on me before I got the permanent card. I went to several lawyers who could not help me. After I explained the situation to her she figured out I was an abused man. I never knew there was such a thing. She worked so hard on my case which was approved. She de...livered my green card to me personally. I told at least 3 of my friends about Joanie P and she helped them too. Bravo Joanie!!

do not ever retain this lawyer

this lawyer was totally ineffective as my counsel ,she was unavailable ,inexperienced and only wanted my money ,showed up one day late to my imm. hearing ,had documents missing from my file and had an uncaring attitude ,totally unprofessional ,i will never recommend her.

Not a good lawyer

The worst immigration lawyer, I would not recommend Joan to anyone. She takes in way too much client and does not do the job she is retained to do. She only cares about getting paid. She is either late or don't show up for appointments. She also gets very fiesty when you tell her you don't appre...ciate how your file is been handle.
