Best Immigration Lawyer

From the beginning when our family member had his immigration issue we knew we had to find a lawyer that knew how to navigate the immigration system to provide the best level of representation to his clients. What we found with Mr. Guerra was a dedicated professional lawyer that was honest, forthrigh...t, and firm on his strategies on how to provide legal defense to his clients. We found him on social media and quickly we were able to setup a consultation and a face to face meeting where he gathered all the information needed to lay out the ground work for our case. From there on what we got from him and his team was top level work that concluded with a victory for our case. Let me stress that where Mr. Guerra sets himself above the rest is in his professional knowledge of the system and that whats we felt most comfortable with. Thank you Mr. Guerra we appreciate you and your team and I will blindly recommend your office to anyone in need of legal representation in such matters.

Amazing lawyer

Outstanding and amazing lawyer! I hired Luis Guerra on two specific cases for immigration for me and my finance. Both cases were complicated. I was very concerned. In addition to Luis' vast experience, he explained everything and had a huge calming effect on me and my finance. Luis was there for... us 100% along the way. He was accessible at night and on the weekend as well. He is an amazing lawyer and a wonderful person as well. I highly recommend him!

Parole Approved by ICE in Mississippi

Attorney luis guerra is truly an expert lawyer!! He was able to get my family member's case approved in record time!! Other attorneys in my area would tell me not to waste my time. Out of 6 lawyers, I decided to go with MR. Guerra, and he made it happen. My girlfriend had been detained by ice for 6 m...onths and had 3 parole request denied before attorney guerra took over. In our 1st meeting, he described my options. I went home, thought about it, and went back to his office ready to pursue one of the options he suggested. I paid him, gathered all documents he requested from me, and the rest was up to him! 2 weeks after, the package was in the mail headed to the deportation officer for review. The officer told me that out of 24 parole request, my girlfriend's had the best chance of getting approved!!! He stated to me that my attorney did a great job!! A few days later, my girlfriend was given the news that she was approved for paroleeee!!!!!! Thank you, luis, and to your staff for the professional and excellent experience delivered!!! God bless you and your firm! Your passion for immigration law, is what I believe, sets you apart from your competitors!!!!! Choose attorney luis guerra!!!! You will be giving your case, the best possible representation mlney can buy!!!!!! Alain (North miami)

Phenomenal Lawyer, couldn't have asked for someone better.

Mr. Guerra handled my case to have me deported. He was referred to me by another outstanding lawyer that resolved some of my legal issues in 2011. All in all, Mr. Guerra walked me step by step on what the possibilities were, how the case looked and assured me nothing but the best on his part. There w...ere times that I was a bit skeptical but Mr. Guerra always helped me level headed and kept guiding me through the open case to have me deported from the United States. When it came to the court date, his ability to lead within the courtroom reassured me that he was the best man for the job. I wish nothing but the best for him, and if anyone ever needs any immigration or a criminal defense attorney, I would highly recommend Mr. Guerra.

A Patient, Heartfelt Attorney

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Guerra. Mr. Guerra is a rare combination of excellence and compassion. He is very thorough, responsive and helpful, and truly cares about his clients. Mr. Guerra is very diligent about communicating and explaining the immigration process in a way that's understand...able At the consultation, Mr. Guerra boosted my confidence, showed he was willing to work with me and create exceptions to help me with my case. Mr. Guerra became a general advocate/source of quality information on my behalf after the consultation. Mr. Guerra was always available to answer any general questions I had. His emails were always very well written, easy to understand. When you called him he was always available to talk or called you back quickly. Mr. Guerra was very patient throughout the process and at times when I felt flustered or anxious, he would respond to my emails with direct yet encouraging words. He was detailed when needed and took me through the process step by step. He worked tirelessly and was contactable at any time of the day or night, which was incredibly reassuring. He made all the legal jargon easy to understand and was patient and kind throughout. I cannot find the words to adequately describe Mr. Luis Guerra. EFFICIENT, PROFESSIONAL, WARM, GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND HIS CALL OF DUTY TO GET THE WORK DONE. DOES HIS BEST TO MAKE THE PROCESS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, TIME-CONSCIOUS, PATIENT, DOES NOT LOOSE FAITH, PERSISTENT, CONSCIENTIOUS, AND KIND. All of these words do not do him justice. Mr. Guerra is an excellent attorney. He is the kind of attorney you will want to have on your side. I would definitely use him again and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to others.
