Amazing lawyer!

There's no words to Express how thankful I am for what he did for me and my husband. It's been over 8 months since my husband was released from ice custody. My then fiance was taken by ice custody on April of 2018 he had DUI's. We had a lawyer who was recommended to us who which didn't put any effort... to get him out. That lawyer went for a straight voluntary departure. We weren't happy with that so we then met Nestor Diaz who I felt put his heart to our case. He made us feel like the only case he had to work on was ours. Even though we had a lot of obstacles Nestor always showed a positive attitude. It took a year of fighting but at the end he was able to get my husband released from ICE custody. If you are thinking about hiring Nestor, think no more!! You will get a good difference by hiring him ! Thank you Nestor you've done a lot for my husband and I!!

Great lawyer great guy

I highly recommend Nestor to be your lawyer whenever you have any problems related to immigration, criminal, or other social issues.... I had pleasant experiences since day 1 when meeting Nestor . The whole process was very supportive and smooth. I finally win the case even thought it got dragged ove...r two years due to my personal problems.

He help us when everyone else said no to us!

I just want to said that Mr. Diaz help us when many other lawyers had told us that our case was NOT WINNABLE and that we shouldn't even tried. That was not a choice for us and we kept looking for a lawyer that would help us. A relative recommend us Mr Diaz and when we met he told us that our case in ...deed was very complicated but if we did everything he told us we had a chance to WIN IT! There was a lot of work and hundreds of documented to be put together but at the end we were granted a permanent residence card for my wife. My wife and I now live here in NY with our two daughters and I can not THANK enough Mr. Diaz for his all help!
