El caso de mi padre

El caso de mi padre fue muy especial ya que hube consultado con otros abogados y todos me dijeron que no se podria lograr y si lo harian el costo era muy alto. Luego gracias a Dios tube la oportunidad de recordar que Mrs. mendoza fue una de las buenas abogadas de una amistad de mucho tiempo atras y m...e comento que le salio su residencia a ella y toda su familia a un buen precio y sobretodo hubo siempre mucho respeto y carino al solucionar profesionalmente de ello mi confianza y la fe que tenia era como una mostasita y Dios hizo algo muy lindo con confianza y fe en Dios puse el caso de mi padre en las manos de la Abogada Mendoza y el dia de hoy mi padre a llegado a recibir su residencia sin ningun Problema y esta muy feliz por que ya podra viajar a visitar nuevamente su pueblito en Peru. Lo que siento en mi corazon es que no existe palabras para agradeserle eternamente todo lo que hizo por el caso de mi padre y solo puedo darle una recomendacion de excelencia y que estoy segura que pueden consultar sus servicios y no se arrepentiran del apoyo y carino incondicional que ella nos a hecho sentir desde el principio hasta el final del caso de mi padre me e sentido como familia y muchisimas gracias Doctora Mendoza y la Senora Barbara Fernandes que ambas lucharon por cada paso y detalle para que todo esto se ague realidad y fue una bendicion de Dios.

Absolutely Amazing

Ms. Mendoza is incredible at what she does, she took all the stress and pressure off of my wife and I and we couldn't be happier. I'm active duty military and met my wife overseas. Ms. Mendoza truly cares and i will always be grateful for that.

Fiance VISA

Ms. Mendoza and her staff were very helpful in getting our visa process handled in a timely manner. I was in Japan and my fiancé was in Virginia. She handled the long distance process very well. She mapped out the process for us to be reunited in a way we can understand. I recommend her to anybod...y!!!!

Great Immigration attorney!!

Radlyn and her team assisted us with our PR application and, as always, we received a superb service. As is usual with immigration issues we had lots of questions and queries about forms, processes, supporting documentation, etc. Radlyn and her team researched and answered all our issues and questi...ons and nothing was deemed too small a problem or too much trouble. We always received prompt replies and good advice, and Radlyn and her team's professionalism and demeanour always put us at ease. If you want a first class immigration attorney then look no further than Gardner & Mendoza. I'd highly recommend them.

immediate confidence!!!

in february, 2015 my wife and i were married. we were both unaware of the complexity of the immigration process. the paper work for the inital filing was overwhelming for me and the urgency and seriousness of things being done correctly and timely was stressful. from the inital meeting with radlyn me...ndoza our stress level was erased and i felt fully confident we were in the best of hands. during the process leading up to our immigration hearing. all communication with radlyn and her staff was prompt courteous and informative. they all gave the most patient attention to our speech and language barriers and made all communication a positive reassuring experience. the results of our immigration hearing were immediate approval! having radlyn by our side gave the greastest of confidence during the meeting with immigration and the whole process. i would recommend her and her firm to anyone! it was a pleasure being her client!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
