Excellent Lawyer!!!!

She is the Most awesome Attorney! I'm glad my sister lead me to Maria H. She helped me with my Citizenship Application. She made the process so easy and also went pretty fast. when I went in for my consultation she took her time and sat down with me and didn't rush thru the appointment. Maria has rea...sonable fees and she also offered to go with me to my interview for an extra low charge. I really recommend her 100%. Maria was really helpful and is an awesome person.

Best in the business

I can honestly say that Ms. Hernandez and her team are probably the best in the business when it comes to immigration matters. Maria’s greatest asset is her vast work experience with immigration issues of all types ranging from standard to ultra-complex. Maria is very professional and caring when it... comes to explaining legal matters to her clients and she will always put you at ease. She even allowed us to call her at home on evenings and weekends for urgent matters. Now, that’s impressive and unheard of for attorneys!

Highly Recommend Maria! Humble, Honest, Kind, Professional

Maria is the most qualified immigration lawyer I have dealt with. She is very knowledgeable in her field of work. Any questions we had, Maria was able to answer with ease. I felt very comfortable after meeting with her about submitting my immigration forms. What seemed to be a very difficult process ...was made simple working with her. She worked with us, form by form, making sure everything was filled out properly and no items were missed. I’ve never worked with someone who is as thorough as she is. But what makes Maria stand out amongst other lawyers is her kindness and generosity. She is very honest and treats you like a friend, but still presents herself in a professional manner. I felt the like she genuinely cared about our case as if it were her own. I’m more than happy with her services. Every lawyer should be more like Maria.

Reliable, dependable & Friendly!

My husband was referred to her since the majority of his family has hired Maria for their own situations. Everyone raved about her great service and great manner to explain and walk someone through almost any immigration situation/service. I had a consultation with her for a parole. The biggest delay... was on my end, it did take some time to be able to gather all the documents and turn in to her for processing. She was patient and also sent me brief reminders. I have a busy work schedule and she was reachable via text message, and I LOVED that. It helped me track everything she requested from me and also review the information she provided so I didn't ask twice. Immigration processes can be intimidating and at moments difficult to understand. Maria allowed me to open up and explain my entire situation and she covered and reviewed all my questions until I was 100% certain of the entire process. My only comment regarding responses from Maria to client would be: - her responses can be delayed BUT you will get them. - she is an attorney for TONS of clients, therefore, patience will be key once you hire Maria OR ANY attorney. - she gives you her undivided attention and the best part? you are working directly with the lawyer you hire instead of dealing with a lawyers paralegal or assistance. I highly recommend Maria for an attorney because her service is always VIP level and her prices, you cannot beat!

BEST LAWYER IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

Maria De La Luz Hernandez obtained legal US Residency for my wife and I in 2009. She walked us through the paper work, gave us the best advice, and patiently explained every single step of this process. The results were positive and my whole family benefited from it. Recently she assisted us once aga...in in becoming American Citizens successfully, even though my situation was a bit complicated she was able to advise me and prepare both, my wife and I, through the interview and exam process. Ms. Hernandez went the extra mile to accompany me to the interview. Thanks to her expertise and extended knowledge of the Immigration laws my interview was very successful and now, I'm proud to say I'm an American citizen thanks to her services. Because of the wonderful experiences I've with both obtaining the US Residency and US citizenship I have to say that Ms. Hernandez is very passionate about her profession and her priority is helping people not obtaining fees. She is very honest, very reasonable, and I can tell everything she does to help people comes from her heart. I recommend Maria De La Luz Hernandez without reservation, I'm very sure she will bring joy to many more families, just like she did to mine. We Love the USA, this our home now and this was possible because of this wonderful Lawyer!
