Fantastic Lawyer, Highly Recommend

Guada is very good at calming the anxiety around the immigration process. She knows exactly what she is doing and works hard to ensure that stress in this situation is minimized. Transferring my status from F1 (student) to spouse could have been incredibly intimidating, but Guada handled the process ...so smoothly that there was very little additional stress placed on either myself or my wife. I really appreciate how kind she is, and how well she knows the process, as I tend to get into my head and worry about everything. I will constantly recommend Guada to everybody I know, as she is a fantastic lawyer and did an amazing job!

Excellent Knowledgeable Service

Guadalupe demonstrated the breadth of her legal expertise and knowledge when we hired her to represent our family in an immigration case. She explained the legal process in a manner easily understood. She adequately prepared us for our interview and was with us during the interview. She made the proc...ess run smoothly. For potential clients seeking legal representation, we highly recommend Ms. Lizondo.

Thank you!

I was referred to Ms Lizondo by another attorney who knew Ms. Lizondo's expertise in asylum cases. We knew my case was a difficult one. She took my case, explained the process, guided me through it and thanks to her, I'm able to stay in the country legally. I recommend her to my friends.
