H1b and Green Card Services

I had the pleasure of being represented by Mr. Ortiguera during my H1b and Green card processes. Each time I had questions regarding any of the forms I received, or which steps to take, his response was prompt and informative. Mr. Ortiguera is diligent and detail-oriented; I was comfortable having hi...m fill out all of the numerous forms needed. Should I need additional assistance in the future, I will choose to work with him again.

Top Notch Lawyer

Dennis is just an outstanding Lawyer. I had a complicated case because of a statement my previous wife had given to immigration authorities during my first adjustment of status interview. Dennis accompanied me to my second adjustment of status interview and quickly intervened when the officer tried ...to use my previous case against me. My case was approved minutes after the interview ended.

GRATEFUL & THANKFUL

For years, i have tried consulting my case to different immigration attorneys but all of them have the same answers to me. "Sir, we don't want to be responsible for you getting deported back to your country " until I met Atty. Dennis Ortiguera a young humble, soft spoken but a very intelligent person.... I remember he asked me about my situation and after explaining it to him maybe for about 5 minutes, he answered back and said you're very lucky. He then grabbed an immigration book and showed me the article regarding my case (believe me, it's not an easy one). That second a feeling of hope/excitement and very overwhelmed feeling erupted inside of me. here i am now after 5 years ready to apply for a citizenship. I'm very grateful and thankful to Atty. Dennis Ortiguera for the all the help.

Lawyer Dennis selflessly, efficiently and most effectively dealt with my son's difficult case, thereby getting him out of a mess which had overwhelmed a previous lawyer that I had hired. My son and I are ever so grateful to this great lawyer for the cost-effective and invaluable service he provided m...y son with and therefore we highly recommend him to any would-be immigrant and/or would-be U.S. citizen. In point of fact, total satisfaction is always guaranteed with Lawyer Dennis Jose Ortiguera of Cranford, Union County, in the great Garden State of New Jersey.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
