I do recommend Laura Jacobson for a very qualify lawyer in the area she is young but very knowledge in the immigration law. I have not words to describe how thankful I'm for her service and it was affordable , I remember the judge made a lot of question the day of my court and said I'm done with the question and she said , I know I made the list you have, I could not have been more surprised, he said: do you have more of this lists?and keep the conversation . and we have leave the court so happy that day, she is the best, Thanks Laura

After being abandoned and neglected by my mother, my dad brought me to the U.S. when I was 8 years old. I came here illegally; a visa needed an authorization from my mother to leave the country. As I grew older I faced the complications of not having a status. During my senior year, I got turned down for scholarships, I had the necessity to drive and to get a job but couldn't. Other attorneys said that there was no way to fix my status unless I left the country and waited for a pardon that could possibly never happen. I felt like there was nothing else I could do. My dad said to keep doing well in school that "education is something no one can ever take away from you." I graduated 3rd in my class and got accepted into well-known colleges. During that last year of high school, I met a girl who had a similar situation and had received her permanent residence with the help of Cabrini Attorneys. I got informed and got in contact with Attorney Laura Jacobson. The process had to be done before I turned 18; we had about 2 months to get everything together. Court approved some of the paperwork needed for my immigration application about 3 days before my 18th birthday. Laura was great! She kept me informed and made me feel like everything was going to work out. She worked very hard and her work paid off when I received my green card in October! My life is so much better; I have my driver's license, a job, and I’m attending college to become an elementary teacher. Nothing can stop me now. Thank you

I hired David to draft a prenuptial agreement and am very happy with the result. He did a great job making sure that it reflected exactly what I (and my future spouse) wanted our agreement to state, and he did it in a very timely matter. He was always quick to return phone calls or emails, and was patient in explaining concepts that wouldn't be obvious to a non-attorney or to someone who doesn't specialize in the areas of law that he works in. His rate was also very competitive, and he was able to fit a lot of drafting/editing into a relatively small amount of billable hours, which I appreciated. I would use his services again and recommend him to friends and family.

Emily Sripinyo is a Legal Superstar! 🌟 Emily Sripinyo truly went above and beyond in reviewing my prenup. Despite juggling a busy schedule with other court cases, she made sure to dedicate ample time and attention to my needs. The prenup, originally drafted by my fiancée's lawyer, was a daunting 37 pages long, filled with complex legal jargon. Emily was a beacon of clarity and support, consistently reminding me that my fiancée and I are on the same team. She meticulously sifted through the document, eliminating unnecessary terms and provisions, and brilliantly condensed it to a much more manageable 24 pages. Her explanations were clear and thorough, making what seemed like an overwhelming task feel completely manageable. Emily's dedication, expertise, and personable approach made the entire process so much easier for me. I am incredibly grateful for her outstanding work and highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance. Emily Sripinyo is truly the best! 🙌✨

Exceptional Representation: Kylie I can't express enough how grateful my roommate and I are for having Kylie represent us during our potential eviction ordeal. From the outset, Kylie's affordability, coupled with her exceptional communication skills, put us at ease. Throughout the entire process, she made sure we understood every step and procedure involved, ensuring transparency and clarity. Her dedication to our case was evident, and she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth resolution. Thanks to Kylie, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a manageable situation. We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of reliable legal representation. My roommate and I are young women with little experience of legal proceedings. I promise you won’t regret your decision!

I have been an attorney in Virginia since 1985 specializing in Administrative and Regulatory law. I have learned one thing in my practice, which is not to practice outside my area of expertise. I was hit by a car crossing the street in a crosswalk by an irresponsible driver last year in March, and fortunately only suffered three painful fractured ribs, and no internal injuries. I reached out to Harris, Carmichael & Ellis, PLLC, who referred me to Mr. Wirt Brock, who was highly recommended by this firm. I found Mr. Brock's work as an injury attorney to be highly professional, meticulous and thorough. He worked tirelessly and efficiently in negotiating with the insurance carrier and reached a totally satisfactory settlement covering my medical expenses as well as pain and suffering. He is an excellent communicator, regularly keeping me apprised of the status of my case. I have already recommended the services of Mr. Brock to several individuals in need of competent counsel, and would do so again in the future. Kudos to this fabulous lawyer.

The work done on this case was paramount, so much paperwork and difficult and complex threads to follow, yet Danielle was able to make it a clear-cut win. Danielle got us our winning resolution against a company that has won against many firms in the area. In court, she was able to extract key testimony and deliver our evidence clear-cut to the judge. She also was able to get many court hesitant witnesses on board to testify for me and support me diligently. She didn't stop until we got the support we needed and explored every avenue tirelessly. She worked diligently and always kept me abreast during every phase of my case. Danielle made me feel like I was a part of the team and so cared for, as well as my witnesses. She represented me with honesty, respect, and dedication. I can tell she loves her clients and works tirelessly for them.

When our teenage son received a reckless driving speeding ticket, we realized we needed expert legal advice. Mr Dean gave our son a checklist of requirements for him to complete before his court date, making everything perfectly clear. He followed our son's progress through his expected tasks and made recommendations when necessary. On the day of our son's court appearance, Mr Dean knew exactly what to do and spoke privately with the prosecutor to work out the best possible outcome for him. Reckless driving was expunged and the fine reduced to simple speeding. We have recommended Mr Dean to other teenagers' parents that find themselves in the same situation and heard nothing but glowing reviews afterwards. We give Mr Dean our highest possible recommendation.
