She did everything she promised and more

I hired this lawyer eight months ago to take care of my Immigration problems. I came illegally from a Caribbean island in the 80s and thought there was nothing I could do to get my papers. My neighbor recommended this lawyer highly she never stopped raving about her so I decided to give her a try. It... blew my mind when this lady prayed for me after the consultation. She and her staff worked diligently on my case and in six months my case was approved. I got a work card, social security card and state identification within four months. Several lawyers said they could not do anything to help me because of how I came into the country. This lady was the only one who agreed to take my case and did everything she promised to do. I recommend her to everyone needing immigration help

I am very happy about the work Ms Pinnock did for me

Approximately 2 months ago I paid Ms Punnock to represent me in an Immigration case. I had been representing myself for the past 3 years and not having any success. My mom referred me to her and praised her highly. She did not exaggerate. Ms Pinnock help me put together an amazing case. She prepared ...us thoroughly to respond to questions. She also prayed for us before we went in. The case was approved. Thank God door sending Ms. Pinnock. My life begins now with this victory.

Brilliant Immigration Attorney.

Ms Pinnock handled my husbands case last year. We had been to two other attorneys who took our monies and did not help us. She was knowledgeable and professional at all times. At the end of the case my husband received his status after he had been in this country since the 90s. She also prayed with... us. I am very comfortable recommending her to anyone.

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
