I would 100% suggest Law Office of Jessica T. Arena. Jessica and her team are very professional, responsive to every concern and question, and are wanting to truly help you. We had been waiting for almost 3 years after we filed our i485, and even with multiple inquiries and follow ups, we never received any response, just that we have to “be patient”. One of our friends introduced us to Jessica’s law firm and we trust him very much in these matters so we knew Jessica’s law firm must be good, but wow! We received our interview appointments, did the interviews, received our RFE same week and then our green card approval letter and physical Green Cards the week after that, which was less than 2 months after we talked to Jessica for the first time. So much stress and pressure gone in less than 2 months! And I have to say, Jessica is very proactive about everything. There was a confusion about a matter during the interview and Jessica sent our declaration letters to US attorney explaining the situation right after. If you can afford it, I 100% suggest Jessica’s law firm. And just know that she listens to you. Since communication is key in this matter, make sure you are telling her all the details that might seem not very important. She doesn’t judge, she only helps. My husband and I are so very grateful our friend introduced us to Jessica.

Deepest gratitude for your advocacy and support! I am so grateful for Jessica and her team. It was truly fortuitous that I found her in December 2024, through a consultation with another attorney who didn’t have the availability or expertise to take my case. Jessica stepped in with urgency, care, and diligence; taking swift and thoughtful action when I needed it most. She not only exceeded my expectations, but also restored my hope during a time of overwhelming fear and uncertainty. On top of that, she referred me to an immigration attorney who handled my case with such precision that it resulted in a clear and powerful success. Thank you for everything that you do. You’re not just practicing law; you’re saving lives.

I had an excellent experience working with Jessica Arena on my mandamus case. From start to finish, their communication was top-notch—they always kept me informed, answered every question promptly, and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions. The entire process was smooth, fast, and surprisingly stress-free. They handled everything with minimal effort required on my part, which made a big difference during a time that could’ve otherwise been overwhelming. I truly appreciated their professionalism and efficiency. Highly recommend!

Jessica took a case that had been stuck for over six years and brought it to a successful resolution. During the six months she worked with us, I only had positive impressions: lightning-fast responses, detailed explanations of both the current situation and the strategy to resolve it, all while keeping things real—no false hopes or illusions. Every prediction she made was grounded in reality and backed by specific examples from her experience. It’s the highest level of legal work I’ve encountered in the U.S.

Very professional. She will start with a thorough review/interview understanding the particulars of your case. In my case Jessica was able to devise a strong strategy. This will give you and opportunity to really consider your chances and pros and cons. After confirming the strategy she was able to submit lawsuit much quicker then my expectations. Her staff Delana is very very helpful for day to day communication and updates. She is also quite resourceful and is able to advocate to US staff on your behalf. In my case we received approval within a month of submitting lawsuit. I would thus highly highly recommend her services for life changing moments.

Jessica and Delana completed my WoM petition in just two days, allowing us to file it days ahead of the agreed deadline. Their consistent follow-up with the US Attorney’s Office ensured our cases were adjudicated in record time. Arena and her team were always accessible and quick to address our questions.

I am extremely grateful to Jessica Arena and her assistant Delana Thompson, for their professionalism, attention to detail, and support throughout our case. We know that without your professionalism, persistence, and attention to detail, this process could have taken much longer. Their knowledge, efficiency, and dedication helped move our case forward when we felt stuck. They guided us through every step of the process, making it much less stressful and giving us confidence in a successful resolution. If you are looking for reliable and highly skilled attorneys for mandamus lawsuits, I highly recommend Law Office of Jessica T. Arena. Thank you, Jessica and Delana, for everything!

Jessica is the best. While searching for a lawyer and conducting our initial consultations, she was one of the few attorneys who took the time to personally speak with me. She spent her weekend answering my questions and addressing the time-sensitive nature of our case. She filed our case in less than 48 hours, while everyone else required 2-3 weeks to do so. We couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer for our challenging and extremely time-sensitive case. She is knowledgeable and acted swiftly in preparing, filing, and handling the service process. The typical response time after serving such cases is about two months, but we received a reply in just two weeks, thanks to Jessica's understanding of the case's urgency and her frequent follow-ups. She was always available whenever we needed her at different stages of the process. When I was researching firms to take on our case, I had a feeling that she would provide the fastest and best service compared to the other two well-known firms, and she proved to be the right choice. Words cannot express how happy we are that we worked with her to resolve our case. I would highly recommend her without any hesitation.

If I can give 10 stars to Jessica’s office I would definitely do that, because they deserve it. I got Jessica’s name as a recommendation from a friend had case similar to mine, she told me “just hire her, she’s the best”, and now I’m here after our case closed and resolved to say, she was 100% correct. Both Jessica and her team (Delana Thompson) are very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I always get straight and accurate answers without any misleading. I always get prompt responses to my emails. Her fees are very reasonable compared to other lawyers. I would definitely recommend you to hire her, don’t waste your time looking around.
