Ofelia L Calderon

A talented, empathetic, no-nonsense lawyer, Ofelia Calderon gets results! During the past five years, she skillfully shepherded our friend’s case through immigration hearings, deportation notices, detention, and written appeals. She won release from detention in a Georgia prison where our friend was... facing imminent deportation; she persuaded the immigration courts to grant a new hearing; and at the hearing she convinced the judge to discard the removal order and grant an extraordinary hardship visa. Our friend received his visa, his work permit, and just recently notice of his green card. It is a wonderful ending to a long and challenging process. We are so grateful for Ofelia Calderon’s high professionalism, excellent communication skills, and steady support.

Words can not express my appreciation to Ofelia for her professionalism, dedication and kindness in her practice, and her knowledge, wisdom & faith in the immigration legal system. I can only say that my family and I thank her from the bottom of our hearts, for her guidance through a long journey... from GC to Citizenship. Ofelia is extremely candid, she would highlight risks associated with every step, as well your rights and what tasks you need to prepare, and she would lead on legal issues which she was extremely well prepared and effective. She is also very responsive and I usually got rely from her for any questions I have within 1-2 days. If you are in search of an excellent immigration lawyer, and especially if your case seems to be complex and you feel that you need someone to guide you, I absolutely recommend you to talk to Ofelia, she will not judge you, and she will be candid with you, and be that lawyer that will be with you each and every step (yes, that is every RFE, every interview, appeal or court if that is what takes) of your journey.

For years I had tried to become a resident and nothing. Ofelia and her assistant, Maira, took my very challenging case and my green card came in the mail about 3 weeks ago. They always made me feel as if I was their only client. Ofelia is very honest, realistic and clear about the expectations one ...should have about their case. She always told me when each step of my case was a risky one. She submitted enough evidence and the only RFE I got was for my husband and it was by a mistake by immigration. I am extremely pleased with their services!

I hired Ofelia for my AOS case and I had an arrest record not long ago before the interview (criminal charge, no conviction). USCIS send my interview letter to the wrong address and when I finally got the letter, I had only two days to prepare. I really appreciate Ofelia's flexibility and the fact th...at she offered excellent advice on how to explain my arrest record to the interviewing officer. She also shared valuable advice on other sensitive topics of the interview. I went to the interview the next day and found her consultation extremely helpful. My case was approved two days after the interview and now I can finally move on with my life without a huge psychological burden. Regarding a previous review posted here, I and my husband are not Hispanic and she treated us just the same, offering her most professional suggestions.I would recommend Ofelia to friends and family in need without any hesitation.
