Execellent service

A friend of mine who's in the Navy recommended Amy to me. Ms. Becerra helped me file for my fiance K-1 visa pettition. I talked to a lot of Lawyers before i finally made a decision to hire Amy. I really wanted a lawyer that was knowledgeable and though especially dealing with an embassy in West Afric...a. The first time i spoke with her, she was able to answer all my questions and put my mind at ease about the K-1 process. She's very easy to talk to, friendly and yet very professional. Her fees are also affordable, which is a plus. When she put the forms together to send to uscis she composed a very detailed letter and memo explaining our situation. Everything was neatly organized and she gave me back copies of the entire package that was sent. I"m really happy i used her for my immigration services. Our petition was approved in 5 months and no additional documents were ever requested by USCIS. Thanks again Amy we'll let you know when the wedding day is set.

"I worked with Ms. Becerra when she was a recent law school graduate. Her work was always of the highest quality, she was exceptionally diligent, and she had the highest ethical standards. I haven't had the opportunity to work with her now that she is an experienced attorney, but I have no doubt that she continues to follow her high stands for professional excellence."

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.
