HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Outstanding experience. Attorney Garcia is extremely knowledgeable, professional and committed... My wife and I began pursuing the Permanent Residency process in early 2015. Our particular case had several unique conditions and presented many potential challenges. After much anxiety, uncertainty an...d confusion dealing directly with the USCIS with regard to the necessary forms and documentation...and just exactly how to proceed with our particular case...we called Attorney Garcia. He walked us through the process, answered all of our questions, addressed all of our concerns... submitted all of our paperwork in a quick, efficicient and remarkably thorough way... and deftly navigated the many twists and turns along the path. Attorney Garcia's advice, guidance and reassurance were absolutely invaluable during what would have been an otherwise extremely difficult, stressful and nerve-racking several month process... Bottom line: we simply could not have done it without him... for my wife and I, the great promise of a new Life together here in America began the moment we walked through his door... Our Thanks and deep Gratitude go out to Attorney Garcia and his highly astute and reliable assistant Andrea...

God sent attorney

I spoken to at least a dozen of attorneys over the course of few years and they all either refused to take my case or wanted to charge me thousands of dollars for their services while still telling me my situation will probably not go well for me. I was completely dismayed and lost all hope. The jud...ge ordered me to find a attorney for next deportation proceedings and pointed me to Catholic Legal Services. I made an appointment and met Mr. Callan.I knew right away he was the attorney I was praying for. He was very positive, uplifting , caring and very professional,through out my complicated immigration process. I can truly say he was God sent. Without him; my children would not have a mother right now, and I would not have my children.Thank you so much. Bless

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.
