Yo estaba desesperada cuando mi esposo fue detenido por migración y no tenía derecho a una fianza y el Señor Lovo estaba dispuesto e interesado en ayudarnos porque -Aparte de ser un Gran Abogado tiene una gran caridad humana y la lleva siempre con El- Porque yo estaba muy preocupada al saber que mi esposo estaba encerrado justo cuando my hijo mayor se estaba preparado para irse a la universidad en solo 26 días y Mi esposo ya no estaba aquí con su hijo para apoyarlo y encaminarlo. Pero Mr Lovo me dijo estas palabras "Yo here todo lo que yo más pueda para que su esposo este con su hijo el día que el ingrese a la universidad" y El lo logró :) en justo unos días el obtuvo una fianza para mi esposo ante una corte. Y así con su ayuda nosotros pudimos llevar a nuestro hijo a su nueva casa en la universidad -como una familia y como debe ser- Muchas Gracias Mr. José Bernardo Lovo por toda tu ayuda y tu gran corazón y pido a Dios para que te siga iluminando para que así puedas ayudar a más y más gente.

Exceptional man as well as attorney

Bernie is an amazing attorney that truly cares for his clients. He is extremely trustworthy, fair and hardworking. I would highly recommend working with Bernie. He is very knowledgable and well respected in his industry and amongst the people in the systems he must navigate every day to help his c...lients. He goes above and beyond and always keeps you in the loop. He is the reason our family is still together and we are forever thankful. Can't say enough of how impressed I was with Bernie as a person and especially as our attorney.

Excellent , Honest, and Knowledgeable Immigration lawyer

I would most definitely refer and have already started referring my friends and family. I strongly recommend this immigration lawyer to anyone who is going through an immigration problem. I am very happy with my results. When I came to his office I was in desperate need of legal help for my fiance. H...e was taken to Krome center. I had previously went to another law office where I had a bad experience. They did absolutely nothing but take my money and waste my time. This is when I decided to come to Mr. Jose Bernardo Lovo's office . I had a consultation with him and from the beginning he gave me options , he was very honest and was willing to take our case even though we had a difficult case. I never imagined going through a problem like this for any of my loved ones but I am very happy I found this lawyer. I felt a great relief knowing he was willing to help us and knowing my fiance would be well represented. I will always be grateful to Mr.Jose Bernardo Lovo and his law office for being so professional and honest lawyers. I especially like the personal treatment they give their clients. My lawyer attended my fiance and I personally. He would inform us of everything that was going on. I feel he had my trust from the first day. It really makes a difference to have someone on your side that is willing to defend your loved one as if it were his family.I thank God and my wonderful lawyer for helping us through our case . My fiance came out of the detention center and his charges were removed thanks to the great lawyer we had. Attorney Jose Bernardo Lovo is an excellent lawyer.
