Excellent Attorney

“Before meeting Mr. Garcia, I spoke to several attorneys that did not feel comfortable taking my case. Mr. Garcia took my case without hesitation even though the odds was against me. I was facing voter fraud and other charges. He never made me feel bad about making a huge mistake or I could possibl...y lose this case. He never gave up on this case and I honestly could never repay him. I know that God was with us, a miracle happened and we won the case. My family and I are so grateful!”

Dont be scare of T hire him.

I will say Mr. callan is the best lawyer i ever meet . I came to U.S on 2007 paroled(HRIFA) but dinied cuz i turned 21 yrs old . Another layer tried her best but she was not that strong . In 2010 an IJ granted me TPS( haitian TPS) . In 2014 get maried filled I-130/I-485 . Went to interview with my wi...fe they approved I130 but administatively close I 485 . I hired a lawyer she did not know what she was doing. I counsulted many other lawyers their response was not clear enough. WHEN I TALK TO MR CALLAN HE WENT OVER EVERYTHING AND EXPLAIN WHAT HE WILL DO. he told me they shouldnt close my case... but he will work on the on it. HE WROTE USCIS TOLD THEM THEY MADE A MISTAKE ,HE DID A MOTION ASK THE IJ. TO TERMINATE MINE REMOVAL PROCESSING AND HE EXPLAIN TO THE IJ. USCIS MADE A MISTAKE. The Judge terminated the R.P. Attorney Callan made a package with the notice mailed one to USCIS and one to me. In the package he notice to USCIS again they made a mistake. Mr Callan Made an infopass for me and told me go follow up. When i get to the office i talk to an officer and handed my package to her , she asked me to wait she is going to talk to a supervisor , when she get back she told me THAT MY CASE WAS NEVER CLOSE THEY WILL WRITE ME IF THEY NEED ANYTHING. AFTER 2HOURS an office called me and told me just bring a new medical he will approve my I485 .I did that within 2 months i get my green card. Thank you Mr. Callan it was very nice to have you im very satisfy with your promted service . [[CHAPO BA pou ou.] ]If someone want to have a good service call them (i dnt knw the in person they just worked for me by the way im in VA.) Forget to mention he offered me to go to USCIS OffIce with me he is in FL. i'm in VA. THANK YOU FOR BEING CARE

The Best

Mr. Garcia is the best! Always one phone call away to answer any questions you may have and knows how to calm all your fears with his signature "you will be fine" line when he senses your anxiety. After every conversation with him I felt at ease. The entire staff at Garcia, Miranda and Gonzalez-Rua g...o above and beyond to meet your needs. Extremely competent people who build your confidence and take all steps to ensure your success. It was a pleasure having them cater to my immigration needs. Thank you Mr. Garcia you are truly an angel.

Excellent Attorney

Mr Garcia is currently my lawyer, handling a very complex case. He is very compassionate and knowledgeable about immigration. I've had two other attorney's handling my case and I just felt like another client. Mr Garcia takes the time to explain everything in detail , including all possible outcomes.... Rest assured, you are in the best of hands with this attorney."Making dreams a reality!!"

Avvo Rating

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.
