Great!

Nelson was crucial in helping my family through a tough time and he did so with exceptional professionalism and has been transparent throughout the whole process. He took the time to explain the specifics to me and my family. He is very supportive and he will do everything he can to help! In court he... is very well versed and ready to tackle any issue head on with out holding back. Which is exactly what you want when being represented by an attorney!

Nelson Madrid

Nelson showed himself very knowledgeable and worked tirelessly on my son's behalf. He was accessible to us and when unavailable to take my calls would get back to me after leaving him a message.He made sure we were prepared to answer questions that might be forthcoming from the judge.He was quite det...ailed in his preparation and his approach gave me the assurance that he was a lawyer who cared about his client and it was not just another legal case but was able to see the individual beyond the case. My son holds him in high esteem.I do as well, so does my sister who at times had to interact with him on our behalf.He is a straight talker, makes no empty promises, tells it like it is but fights like a bulldog for his client. In my opinion Nelson is a tremendous asset to the firm he works for, he came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. Nelson I thank you, thank you, much respect. Honestly we think You are the best!!

Immigration lawyer | Dec 04

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Nelson Madrid is one of the most knowledgable immigration attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is well respected in the community and has a reputation of being one of the best immigration attorneys in New York. He is always honest with his clients and has a loyal client base that swears by him and for good reason. To say that Nelson zealously represents his clients is an understatement. He goes above and beyond in every case. He does not pass his case off to paralegals and send clients to voicemail. He gives every client face time and individual attention. He does in-depth research on every case he handles. The breadth of knowledge in the field of immigration is unmatched. He is the first person I go to when I have an question or need help with a case. I would highly recommend Nelson Madrid as one of the most respected immigration attorneys in New York."
