She was kind and professional and succeeded in a very difficult and complicated case for me. If you think you have an impossible situation, you need to hire Ms Peyton. So grateful for her, she truly was a lifesaver.

We searched on line for an immigration lawyer who could speak Spanish and English to help my wife on her green card application after getting married through a K-1 visa. We came across with Jennifer Peyton for her great reviews and we were not disappointed. She and her staff were very nice, understanding and patience. She filed our case in October 2015, in January 2016 my wife already had her US. Permanent Residence card. We are very very pleased with Jennifer. She really cares about you and getting your case moving. We will hire her again for my wife's Citizenship application in 3 years. We recommend her highly for their professionalism and ethics. It is also great they speak Spanish, since it was the only language my wife could speak. Thank you so much. We are happy clients.

In the summer of ‘14, my wife and I hired Jenna Peyton to guide us through the immigration process (moving from Canada to the USA). Our dealings with her from our first consultation meeting to the point where we achieved my Green Card were professional, informative, efficient and helpful. Jenna was always prompt in getting back to us regarding questions that we had and she consistently demonstrated courtesy and tact during the course of our application process. Some aspects of the nature of our process were stressful, but we could always count on Jenna for clear, thorough and honest advice during these difficult times. Jenna guided us through the immigration process step by step and essentially all of our timelines unfolded in the exact manner that she suggested they would. Jenna is a true expert in this field. Aside from her aforementioned personal and professional qualities, Jenna’s fees were very reasonable and we appreciated that there was precise transparency with her from day one and onward (no hidden or extra costs whatsoever). Even after our agreement term had expired, Jenna was willing and at the ready to clarify a few remaining questions that we had. We could not have gone through this process nearly as effectively or efficiently without Jenna’s wisdom and advice. Jenna was a pleasure to deal with throughout the course of our immigration process; we enthusiastically recommend hiring her if you are in need of a lawyer who specializes in one of her fields.

I seeked help for an immigration problem,and I met counselor Peyton after a terrible experience with a previous counselor.Counselor Peyton had a good understanding to the case ,she gave the best advices and we won at the end. I surprised by her speaking some Arabic words and aware about costumes. I think the most important thing about her is she knows the court very well,she is confident and she don't look to clients as a bank if anyone understands what I mean. If anyone had a trouble with Immigration I recommend to consult her.Thanks

I first hired Jennifer Peyton 13 years ago when I was immigrating to the U.S. from Canada. The process was smooth and efficient. I was involved in every step and kept informed the entire way. Ms. Peyton was always accessible and very easy to work with. I recently used her again when I decided to become an American citizen, again she exceeded my expectations. I have also referred several people to her through the years.

We were extremely satisfied with Jennifer Peyton and her office. Given the complexities of U.S. Immigration law, especially since the reversal of D.O.M.A. Jennifer and her colleagues guided us through the whole process, demonstrating their extreme familiarity and proficiency, along with a good sense of humor; which resulted in obtaining a "Green Card" for myself. Jennifer was supportive throughout the challenges of the process, and very clear in her instructions about what we needed to do and prepare for the hearing. The hearing itself was very easy to go through because of her preparation. We would highly recommend Jennifer for same sex couples who need a knowledgeable and non-judgmental attorney.
