Eloy Abel Arcia

After I consulted a couple of renown Connecticut attorneys regarding my Peruvian girlfriend's immigration problems, I was convinced her situation was hopeless due to a particular rule about the visa she used to enter the country said no matter what, she was not eligible for a Green Card. She insisted... and asked me to drive her to New York to see this lawyer, Abel Arcia, because she had heard he was supposedly one of the best lawyer in New York. Of course I thought she was dreaming. But not wanting her to think I was unwilling to help, I took her all the way to Queens to meet Mr. Arcia. After listening to her and reviewing her passport and visa, he explained that's yes there is a major problem but that there was a slight chance if she could fall within certain exception. I was obviously cautious because I was afraid my girlfriend would cling to strings. I didn't stop her though and we retained Abel Arcia. After over a year, it turns out my girlfriend's case was approved to my surprise. Mr. Arcia did it. And to top it off, during that time my girlfriend referred a Peruvian friend to Mr. Arcia regarding an automobile accident and Mr. Arcia somehow got her friend $100,000. I have to give credit where credit is due. This unassuming guy, Abel Arcia, is good.

My name is Maria and my husband is in prison for an old criminal case here in NY. He has had a Green Card since he was a kid but immigration put him in deportation and the judge ordered that my husband will be deported to Dominican Republic when he finishes serving his time. My husband begged me to f...ight to appeal. I saw many lawyers in Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Most said my husband had no chance. Two of them wanted $25,000 to take the case and they even said chances were 50-50. I didn't have that kind of money. Someone told me that Mr. Arcia takes the most difficult cases and that he fights hard and that his fees are not high. He charged me only $7,500 and he won my husband's case. What I want to say is that he was so patient and caring to my husband, my in-laws and to me. He even made it sound like it was no big deal. He was so down to earth and humble I can tell you I never saw a lawyer so humble.

I am from Colombia and I first hired Mr. Arcia when I was working on Spanish TV with other Colombian models and actresses, like Sofia Vergara, back in 1998. Mr. Arcia's office was very small back then and some cameramen told me about him being like some type of activist working to help the little guy...s. I was trying to make it big but I had no immigration papers. I took a chance and went to see him. He inspired me with his talk about how America is strong because of new blood like me and I signed up. He handled my immigration case and I became legal. I continues with my career and didn't see him until many years later when I needed to change my immigration status from Green Card to citizen and because of some help with some civil matters. His office is so much bigger now with younger, smart lawyers and many assistants working for him in several locations. Wow I was happy that he grew so much and that he has great talent working for him. He handled my 3 new cases last year and I won but I wasn't surprised. I was very proud that he became so successful because he became what he preached to me. He is frank, honest, direct, very smart, and cares so much about winning all his cases that it just takes my worries away. I didn't become famous as I wanted but I have a good happy life today.

My neighbors said to me that this guy did miracles for them and my problem with immigration was killing me. I couldn't sleep because I was false arrested. This lawyer won my criminal case in Queena and then he sued the police and got me good money. Then he handles my immigration case and he wins. Man..., he looked like it was easy. My English not so good I wish I can write good English to say how I love this guy. Maybe he was angel for me I don't know but to me he is like Superman because he is so inteligent and knows how to win. Other lawyers wanted a lot money but Mr Arcia helped me and I made money. So happy!

My son had a few criminal problems and immigration tried to deport him. We saw 3 expensive attorneys in Manhattan. Only 1 said there was a chance and asked for $2000 to investigate. Then he said no. That my son was hopeless. I heard that Mr. Arcia had solved very difficult cases and I went to his of...fice. He charged me less than half of what the Manhattan attorneys mentioned was the average fee. Mr. Arcia spoke frankly and to the point, he was very direct and I don't know how but he saved my son. He has a team of several lawyers and many assistants and they were great to me and my son. He has a large cult-like following of South American immigrants and I must say that I was shocked at how some of thosepeople simply walked in and demanded immediate appointments and attention. And when the receptionists couldn't help them right away, some of those people became rude and mean to the office people. Mr. Arcia saved my son and I am very grateful. I observed that he tries hard to help a lot of those South American clients, even if some of them don't seem to behave respectfully.
