Andres helped our child care provider through a complicated process after another attorney put her in jeopardy of deportation. His thoughtful preparation and careful work immediately put her at ease, and he was able within just a few months to achieve her hoped-for result: asylum. He changed her li...fe, and we are all grateful.

While attending college, I was placed in removal proceedings to a country where my life was in real jeopardy. My mentor and I went to numerous attorneys who admitted that they could not help me and that my only solution was to go back to the very country where I would be killed. But, going back was... not an option for me. Luckily our search ended when we found Andres. From the start, Andres was warm and honest and he told me that we would work together in the various legal strategies he proposed. Through several client meetings, Andres discovered that I had an asylum claim. The journey was long, complicated, and very difficult for me because I felt that I had no control whatsoever over my life. However, working with Andres made me feel supported and comforted at every hearing and interview. If you have been in immigration proceedings, you will understand that not all attorneys make you feel this way and that it’s really great when you find an attorney who sympathizes and believes in you. Finally, Andres won my long and complicated case. In about one year, I will be able to naturalize and I am forever grateful to Andres because he gave me back my life, my dreams, and has given me the opportunity to continue serving low-income and at-risk children in the U.S. For me, Andres is the attorney who made the difference in my world and I recommend him in a heartbeat to all my family, friends, and anyone who has immigration issues. Not only is he an efficient and successful attorney, but also a great human being who sincerely cares for his clients. If you have a complicated immigration case that no one else can solve, I can assure you that Andres is the answer. If he cannot solve it (must be because there is no legal way to do it), he will be honest with you.
