In response to the negative review

I am very surprised to read a negative review about my lawyer that has been working with my family for a year now. To my knowledge people that I have recommended to her of different races like Africans from Kenya, people from Ethiopia and myself that is from the Caribbean Dominican Republic. All who... I have recommended her to have given me great reports About her work ethics her believe in keeping family together. To my understanding I understand that all cases are different in some cases are the same in my case I've had the experience with my lawyer that she keeps me up-to-date with what's going on, any questions I may have she either emails me back with The answer or she will have one of her staff call me I do not want that people think that I am writing this review for personal reasons I am simply voicing my opinion.

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...u to stay in the united states. She sides with ICE, she almost seems like she is working for them and not you. I have paid her thousands and my husband is still getting deported and she will not return any of my phone calls. She basically abandonded his case. She is not for blacks at all, if you are from a carribean country DO NOT USE HER. She has an ideal of what thoes people are like and she feels that only Spanish people deserve a chance here in the US. She cares nothing about you the client or your familys hardship.

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.

GREAT service from Ophelia

My wife and i approached Ms. Calderon's firm to represent us during my immigration process. She (Ophelia) has been very attentive and a delight to work with all of the way through to the recent successful completion to attain my green card. Ophelia is hands on with the details of the process, and a...long with a deep knowledge of the steps involved she was always approachable and responsive when called upon. Coming from the Caribbean and trying to find a top tier lawyer to represent us during the green card process, We carefully vetted candidates before choosing Ophelia, and i cannot recommend Ophelia more highly.

Ofelia

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the excelent representation and moral support I received during my case. Words alone do not express my gratitude to the expert handling of my immigration case by you.

THE perfect immigration lawyer

Working with Ofelia L. Calderon was not only a productive experience, but also a real pleasure. Mrs Calderon received me as frequently as needed, proposed efficient solutions, was always responsive, and followed-up with great exactness. Her dealing with my case went well beyond this, however. A scien...tist in the field of research, I included in my file my major publications, as well as articles reporting on my activity. Mrs Calderon read all this literature to be able to illustrate the case as exactly as possible. I was amazed by such a dedication. Mrs Calderon did not limit herself to do paper work: she embraced the case.
