He treated us with dignity and insured that our voice was heard and that our rights where not infringed upon during t...he proceedings and the interview. If you are looking for an Attorney who will truly have your back and who will be compeletly honest with you please look no further than Callan Garcia and his law firm Garcia, Miranda, Gonzales-Rua P.A. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone in South Florida.

He is the best!! his staff is also the best!

My husband and I met Callan like a year ago, we had seen so many lawyers and we were not sure what to do, we didn't feel like any of those lawyers can help us, but meeting Callan was different, we felt it right away that he was the right person to handle our case. He always answered our questions, al...ways explained every detail to us and the most important thing is that he was HONEST, we are so happy with our results. After almost 13 years my husband finally is a resident and we are forever grateful to him and his staff.

Best attorney ever

After spoken with more than 15 attorneys who recommended me the same option of VAWA, and another couple who just told me I just didn't have a case, I have the opportunity to meet Mr. Garcia at the Catholic Legal Services. He told me about this exception of the law that could grant my green card. Sinc...e, I never heard about it after paying so many legal consultations I doubted about his legal advise, so I asked him about VAWA that I knew already would take at lease three years. He told me I could get my green card in a year or so for half of the fee of the VAWA process, but worse case scenario if his strategy wouldn't work out as he planed he will credit me his fee and get it using the VAWA act that was double in price. Any way, I hired him and I got my green card in 6 months. I'm still can't believed he got my green card in 6 months instep of three years knowing he will collect 50% less in fees. Mr. Garcia is the attorney in witch you can trust your family.

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.
