My personal experience with Daniel Celaya

First and foremost, I wanted to give a big thank you to Daniel Celaya for helping us through my husband through his immigration issues. First Daniel was very attentive with my husband’s case from the begging to the end. Daniel would always keep us updated with any issue that we were going on with immigration. Daniel would call and/or email us. He responded promptly and professionally. He would also remind us when we had to renew my husband work permit through this 3-year process to make sure it came in on time so that my husband would not lose his job. Daniel worked very hard on our appeal in the immigration court and at the end, all his hard work showed. We won our final court! I will always be grateful to him and with his hard work. I strongly recommend him to anyone that is going through similar situation. Once again thank you so much Daniel you helped keep my family together!

Best Immigration Attorney I've Talked With.

This is an honest 100% review. I've reached out to Mr. Daniel to help me with a few questions and he didn't just do that he helped me with multiple immigration cases that I had. I suggest everybody who is struggling with any Immigration case to reach out to Mr. Celaya. You will never be disappointed. He's beyond an Immigration lawyer, he's a great person he will be patient with you and will give you all the knowledge & legal advice that you need regarding the case you have.
