Beast of a lawyer!!!!

My family and I were weary working with isadora because our last immigration lawyer made it seem that we no case and we would be deported shortly after arriving but isadora alleviated that feeling immediately and she always communicated on time and when important news reached her she told us immediat...ely if you want to immigrate to this country and you wanna do it right CONTACT HER IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

Excellent Immigration Support!

Review Title: Highly Professional & Supportive Legal Team! Review Body: I’m truly grateful to Isa Law, P.A. for their outstanding support throughout my immigration process. From the very first call to the final approval, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. Special tha...nks to Attorney Isadora Velazquez Rivas and Cristina Golobardes for their constant communication, clear guidance, and for treating my case with such dedication. Thanks to their expertise, I am now a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. I highly recommend Isa Law to anyone seeking trustworthy legal representation in immigration matters. They don’t just handle your case—they care about your journey.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Adjustment of status with deportation order

Without giving too many details, my mother was arrested by ICE for overstaying her visa. Despite being technically eligible for an adjustment of status, after consulting a few lawyers, we were told there was nothing to do, especially with less than a week to prepare her case and that deportation ...was the inevitable outcome in this situation. For anyone familiar with the US immigration system, a deportation order is normally final. Impossible to escape. However, Isa and her team thought otherwise and successfully made a case as to why she should be allowed to stay in the US, and I'm very happy to report it worked! Now, my mom has gotten a second chance at life in this country. She has been able to both remain in the US and apply for a green card. I will be forever grateful to Isa Law, and I can't recommend the services enough!
