Absolutely the best immigration lawyer - and a powerful teacher of knowledge, wisdom and faith in the immigration legal system
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...
Thank you so very much for your kind words. I can only say that I often take my lead from my own clients and I have been so very blessed in that while some cases are challenging from beginning to end, my "team" includes my clients. I am grateful to have been a part of your journey.

Did not fight for my spouse! Abandoned his case and he is still detained and going to be deported
I read the reviews and they are only for Spanish clients. She does not fight vigoursly for clients that are black. She acts like she is doing this to help her race only. She promises a good outcome, once she gets you to pay her she acts like there is no chance in hell that anything can be done for yo...
I regret that you feel the way that you do. As I have said many times over the last few phone calls and emails, it is unfortunate (tragic, even) that every deportation cannot be halted. As an attorney, I can only help my clients as much as the law and the facts of a particular case allow me to. I can assure you that after practicing immigration law for 13 years, I advocate zealously for all of my clients regardless of race. Due to attorney client confidentiality, I cannot respond directly to your allegations, but I remain available to discuss this reasonably.

Working with Ofelia L. Calderon was not only a productive experience, but also a real pleasure.
