Get peace of mind, while Mr. Benach gets results...

Mr. Benach is a great immigration lawyer who set our minds at ease from the start with his caring approach and clear knowledge of the immigration system. When we hired Mr. Benach for the adjustment of status of my wife, my wife was nervous about starting the whole process of moving permanently to... the United States. From our first appointment with him, we realized that everything would be fine. Mr. Benach and his team took care of us as if we were their most important clients. Everything was filed on time, and the whole process was so much easier than we thought it was going to be. He and his entire staff are professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. He was involved in our case from beginning to end, paid attention to every detail, and kept us informed along the way. We have been lucky to have him as our attorney during this important phase in our life, and we know there are other attorneys out there who are neither as competent, trustworthy, or caring. We always recommend him to our family and friends because we know that they will be in good hands.

Best attorney in any field that I have ever worked with.

Mr. Benach (Andres) handled my case with such passion that you'd have though I were a family member of his. He was knowledgeable, organized and totally thorough- I would not have won my almost impossible case were it not for his 'outside the box' thinking and the efforts of him and his entire orga...nization. He kept me updated on my case at all times and was very reachable. A God-send in my case.

Andres saved my life when every other attorney said they could not

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.

Help all through the citizenship process

Andres helped me gain US citizenship in 2014. The experience was firat-rate. His firm processed my paper work, was clear about next steps and when it came time for my interview Andres appeared with me in person to make sure I didn't stumble at the last hurdle. He's extremely knowledgeable in this a...rea and more importantly passionate about helping people with real immigration problems.
