Testimonials
I typically deal with Jennifer directly and she has always been professional and prompt in her responses. Jennifer has been a wealth of knowledge and precise with her responses. There are several law firms that I used to deal with in the Miami area but due to her responsiveness to my requests and the amount of knowledge that she possesses, I use this law firm for almost all of my Customs issues.
Customs BrokerI worked with Jennifer Diaz. I had considered a number of lawyers for my case and decided to engage Jennifer because she provided an immerse value from day 1. She has clearly explained the process and the suggested approach for getting the issue resolved, clarified my rights and provided an insight on what challenges to expect.
Importer, HandbagsWith the final detention now released, I just wanted to say a huge thanks for your specialized input over the past few months. In the end, we managed to escape the FDA mess with some significant legal bills and lost sales but without the loss of a major customer. It is going to take some time to re-establish our reputation in the market as a reliable supplier but, given at one stage we were within weeks of mass deletions, we ended up escaping ok.
Importer, (Who Diaz Trade Law assisted in getting removed from FDA's Import Alert List)You guys are truly the best! You have made my entrance into the attorney world a paradise. I can only hope that in the future it can be as pleasant and fun as it was to work here. I appreciate all of you for your patience and your guidance. I will truly miss all of you!

Since working with Jennifer, our level of professionalism and efficiency as a company has increased significantly.
Simply put, Jennifer and Denise make our lives much easier. Their expertise, professionalism and timeliness are second to none.
Importer, Amenity KitsJennifer Diaz is the BEST customs attorney in the United States. No matter what city or state you are in, you can always count on her great communication and knowledge. We are a California based company and after having our shipment detained by U.S. Customs for close to 40 days, we hired Jennifer and she got our shipment released in matter of less then a week. We searched the Internet and spoke to many attorneys locally and statewide, but Jennifer was the BEST. Highly recommended.
California Based CompanyThere are not enough words to describe Jennifer’s expertise, client bedside manner, industry respect and educator to the layman. She stands out in the crowd of attorneys in that she shares what she has worked so hard to master and enables the client to work with it on their own. She genuinely has the client’s best interest at heart and as her first priority.
