Absolutely fantastic

I was in immigration limbo more than 14 years despite trying to do everything correctly. Moved between various states for work during which I got the short end of the stick with other immigration attorneys. Mr Garcia and his team really helped me navigate the process with USCIS and immigration court,... successfully granted an appeal, removal of conditional status, granted permanent residency and finally after 27 years US citizenship earlier this month. They are the real deal!! I am extremely grateful

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...

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.
