True Professional- well informed, organized and reliable.

I work in the legal field and I can say hands down Mr. Velez is one of the most professional, organized and reliable attorneys I have ever worked with. I have no negative remarks from my experience. He knows the process, walks you through what to expect and is able to adapt very easily given his expe...rtise. He is not one of those attorneys who will harbor information until you sign a retainer like some- he will tell you straight up what to expect. My wife and I began this process pre-covid and completed our 'permanent residency' journey in September 2020 (during covid). Naturally, there was a lot of uncertainty given the status of our world but Mr. Velez still made himself available to us, updated us when necessary and checked in periodically just for the sake of checking in. I would say we built a report through our experience with him which is not always expected in an attorney/client relationship. Applying for the K1 or K3 is an incredibly daunting process for those who decide to go that route and Pablo made it seem much less daunting. He also has a great system in place to keep you organized as you begin compiling all the information necessary to file- very necessary! If you want it done right, hire him. period.

Pablo is THE BEST OF THE BEST!

My employer hired Pablo last year to start my green card process (EB3) and I cannot even imagine how I would be able to go through this endless and stressful process without having him on our side. He is a very knowledgable, detailed, professional and helpful immigration lawyer who is always there to... answer my questions. I am still going through the status of adjustment process and I don't even have my green card in hand yet, but I still wanted to leave a review here because he is that great. If you need an immigration lawyer, don't even think about it twice and reach out to Pablo.

Professional, Reliable, Knowledgable, Communicative, Great Human Skills

We were very happy to work with Pablo. He made the process very easy for us. He explained everything very clearly and answered all of our questions even if he had to repeat himself. He is very knowledgable, helpful, and always hands on. He was very communicative via emails (We preferred email as our ...way of communication). We received fast responds to our questions and concerns. He is very talented not only the technical issues but also human interactions. We have never felt stressed or worried. He was always very professional and compassionate about his clients. We think he did an amazing job and will be working with him in the future again for the rest of the process.

Amazing Experience

Pablo's assistance throughout my green card application process was impeccable. He is very organized and he made it easy to understand every step of the process. He was always available to answer any question and give clarifications and he works in a quick, yet meticulous way. I would definitely reco...mmend hiring him.

Excellent experience!

Pablo helped us through our K1 visa application. He was prompt, patient, and always available to answer our questions. He knew the process well and helped us feel confident through the experience. We are grateful for his expertise and can highly recommend his services!

"Pablo is a SUPERSTAR immigration attorney. He will go out of his way for his clients and carries himself with such professionalism. Unlike other immigration attorneys, Pablo is wholisitic in his approach. He ensures that his clients' tax, real estate and corporate issues are all taken care of in a cohesive fashion by working collaboratively with outside counsel on areas of the law outside of immigration. More immigration attorneys should follow Pablo's lead and take the wholistic epicenter approach to international clients. Bravo Pablo!"
