Saved my nephew

I hired Mr. Arcia who is an ex prosecutor after my nephew was accused of a terrible crime. The 2 other lawyers I seen before didn't want to do the case because they told us that chances were bad for my nephew. I cried so much but my neighbor told me how Arcia saved her somebody she worked with in a b...ig case so I went see Arcia. He took my nephew case and he got my nephew out of jail. Then they asked 2 years for my nephew. Arcia kept going to court for same money like a year and said no every time the lawyer for government asked for jail. He sent some investigators to see victims and investigated lot of stuff about them. After 1 year going to court the government got tired and gave up. My nephew got no jail and Arcia helped my nephew get back in school. Now my nephew is in college and never in trouble again. Arcia never charged me more because he had to work a year in the case. My nephew becomes like new person after spending so much time with Arcia. Arcia spoke so much to my nephew, my nephew has no help from his father and Arcia became like father to him. Arcia didn't have to do this but he cares for my nephew and changed his life. My nephew now is so good person. To me Arcia is best lawyer I have seen because he never stopped defending my nephew. In his office i spoke to many clients who all said Arcia is very good to them.

Won Big Accident Case

In 2013 I had a bad construction accident and 3 famous lawyers in Manhattan turned me down because I had signed a release that my boss and his lawyers prepared after my accident. Also they said that because I didn't fall but cut myself with a grinder I didn't qualify. I have a wife and kids. Only Arc...ia took my case. He has like 20 people and he and his workers were very nice and fought hard for me. Today we had a meeting with a judge and the insurance company lawyers. Arcia was so prepared with photos of the cut in my leg, huge biook with all the doctor papers and he knew everything about me and the case. The judge recommended I take $100,000 and Arcia fought. We were there hours and he kept arguing for me and my family. He argued like everything they were throwing at me, like my fault, like the grinder had protection, like I signed the release, that I am illegal alien and every time Arcia fought back and beat every argument. At the end we won the arguments and I got $250,000. Man I'm so happy. Arcia really worked hard for me. I wanted to cry because I didn't know someone would fight so hard for me. I can only tell you that I'm very happy now. Arcia really cares.

Immigration Deportation Case

This is all I can tell everyone. My dad had a Green Card for many years but he had 2 terrible federal drug cases and did time in Jersey years ago. Some stupid lawyer told my dad that he could become citizen. My dad tried but when those immigration people saw his record they locked my dad up. My famil...y saw over ten lawyers in Manhattan and New Jersey but everyone said there was no chance and that he would be depoRted. Attorney Arcia told us my dad had one of the worst situations an immigrant can have but that there was a chance he could stay here in the U.S. Attorney Arcia visited my dad over 10 times, fought the lawyer from the government that wanted to deport my old man, filed so many papers and stuff for my dad and when the immigration people where return to convince my dad to give up after being in jail all that time, Arcia keep my dad from falling apart and lawyer Arcia won!!! My dad was released and can stay in the U.S. When I told 2 of the lawyers who turned my father case down they didn't believe it. Man I'm telling everyone that this lawyer Arcia fought like crazy for my father and I will recommend him to everyone. This guy is not the usual big mouth lawyer taking money and doing nothing. This guy is fighter and man he wins. His lobby is always full because so many other people are trying to get him to take their case. Bless this guy

Very Good and Fast

this lawyer is different from the other lawyers my friends used for immigration. This lawyer has many employees and they work fast. When my sister was arrested by inmigracion Arcia took the case and in a few days she was out. the immigration officers respected him and one police officer who spoke spa...nish told me Arcia is known as very honest, smart and that the reason sister was approved was that Arcia knows how to work with them. She said many other lawyers don't care about the clients so much. I don't have a lot money and Arcia was nice to me and I know he really cares about the immigrants like me and my sister, not money only but to help us, my sister got papers now because of Arcia and I want all people to know this lawyer is good and so nice.

Thanks attorney Arcia!

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
