Best Immigration law Firm you will find

The happiest day of my life and ALFA was part of it. I waited years for this day, and it wouldn't be possible without your professional help. Felipe and Tenice, thank you for your patience and for not letting me give up. I am finally a resident of the United States of America! Thank you ALFA team and... I will come back in 5 years for my citizenship.

Expert Lawyer That Truly Cares

I recently had the pleasure of working with Felipe and his team, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their services. From the very beginning, Felipe was incredibly responsive, always making sure I knew what to expect and when. Navigating legal matters can be incredibly ovewhelming,... but Felipe's clear communication and fast action put me at ease every step of the way. The entire team took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. I truly felt like I had a team that cared about my well-being and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome. This is a law firm that combines professionalism with genuine care for their clients. Felipe turned a stressful situation into a manageable one, and for that, I am incredibly thankful.

Amazing lawyer

I am incredibly grateful to Attorney Felipe Alexandre and his team for their outstanding work and dedication. My case was extremely complex, and after starting with another professional and feeling very confused, I was fortunate enough to have Attorney Felipe take care of our case, who successfully n...avigated it to completion. Initially, my child's case was wrongly denied, but Attorney Felipe skillfully appealed the decision, and ultimately we had a favorable outcome. Words cannot express how thankful I am for everything him and his team did for us. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Felipe Alexandre and his law firm without hesitation. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them exceptional. Thank you again for everything!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
