Skilled and Intelligent Attorney

Diana Santos provided me with mentorship and guidance as I began my practice in immigration law. She is skilled in litigation, creative in her defense and advocacy, and cares deeply about the clients. She is an excellent immigration attorney and highly knowledgeable about the subject area.

"Thanks to her, I can meet my dreams of studying engineering at the university."

Attorney Diana Santos, thank you for taking my case on deferred action. My aunt referred your services and when I called, you immediately took care of me. My wife also had a case with her and the results were satisfactory. From my first interview, she gave me a list with all the documents needed and ...it was very easy to communicate with her since she also speaks Spanish. Thanks to her, I can meet my dreams of studying engineering at the university. Diana Santos is a good attorney. I am very satisfied with her work and I’m very thankful for everything. I recommend her services to everyone.

"Because of the experience I had with her, I recommend her to everyone...."

I was detained in 2012 by ICE, for a fishing ticket that I received back in 2005. They stated that I had a deportation order because supposedly I hadn’t paid it. I was detained for 6 months with Immigration. My family consulted with an attorney who referred them to attorney Diana Santos. Attorney Dia...na first went to visit me in jail and after that we communicated through telephone. She was able to cancel my deportation order and was able to get my TPS back. Because of the experience I had with her, I recommend her to everyone. If you, your family members or friends are experiencing an immigration problem, don’t hesitate to seek legal advice with an expert in immigration cases like Diana Santos. Others speak highly of her too, due to the work she does.

Attorney Santos helped me obtain my work permit in less than two months

The attorney helped me with my work permit, she did everything right. She submitted my TPS renewal application in September- even though it was late to renew it- my application was accepted. I received my permit the beginning of November. Since I live close to West Virginia, we were only able to comm...unicate through telephone. I thank the attorney for helping me.

Helped me and my family get our green cards quickly

A few years ago, my father had a traffic charge which caused our immigration procedures to be denied. In 2006, different attorneys tried to help us receive our residency but weren’t able to. When Attorney Santos reopened our case in 2013, she helped us obtain our residency-starting with my father, an...d then my brothers and me. She knows what she is doing and we recommend her to everyone with their immigration case. My experience was marvelous. We are thankful with the work she did to help us.
