Best Immigration lawyer in the world

Well I was in removal proceedings when I arrived to the Krome detention center in January I was frighten and nervous for what the consequences were gonna be with ICE. I contracted Mr. Lovo and I cant express my self, theres no words that have been in invented to describe how this man fought for me in... my defense. Mr lovo was always on top of my case making sure everything was going smoothly, even though we had some obstacles along the road but that did not stop Mr. lovo from keeping his faith up and keep working harder into my case, there sometimes so much your lawyer could do. The judge didnt want to give me a bond but that didnt stop Mr. lovo from keeping his faith up and keep trying to find other options that could apply to me so I can be home with my family Mr. lovo never gave up and fought till he found a way to release me and it happened he managed to find a way and now im home happy with my family. He cares a lot about his clients and takes good care of him, I would recommend him to anyone best lawyer out here hands down!!!!!!!

Determined to help despite of the severance of the case

My husband was detained by ICE while reporting to his probation officer. His case was very severe, he had one charge. Extremely bad. I don't condone what he did, however I am his wife and we are not perfect so I chose to forgive him and stay beside him no matter what. I interviewed a total of 6 immig...ration attorney's. There were only 2 that were willing to take his case. That's how bad it was. My husbands life was in my hands. I decided to go with Jose B Lovo. Since the initial he did say it wasn't easy but he was willing to do what he could. He seemed determined and knowledgeable. My faith was with him. The judge was very determined that my husband was charged with aggravated felony. This went sour even though Bernie explain the charges didn't pertain to him. He even asked for me to re-petition my husband. Again and again we kept going to court and Bernie continued to educate the judge to reconsider and the judge said you might be right but I'm still going to classify him as an aggravated felony. Later on, the clerks office called him a said that he wanted to do a re-hearing. To make sure he heard both sides arguments and make a firm decision. Judge made the decision of not classifying my husband as an AF and he made bail and that night he was free to go. My husband was detained for one month and one week. Jose ALWAYS kept me in the loop. Answered all my questions at any given time. He is very reasonable when it comes to pricing. I cannot express how thankful I am for what he did. I would highly recommend him hands down!

Greatest, trustworthy, Honest Attorney you will ever find

I would definitely recommend this lawyer because 1.Honest, he will tell you the bad and the good of all things he will never lie to you and that was my first impression about him 2. He will do his job to the fullest and he loves what he does and is very compassionate with others. 3. He was very respo...nsive when I needed to ask him a question he was always there at the moment and his staff are very nice and is always willing to help you and he will always keep us updated with our case 3. Knowledgeable he knows his stuff and is a very intelligent attorney. I can keep going about him because he's just great if anyone hires him you will be in good hands.

All or nothing case

From day one Mr. Lovo was completely honest. He directed us to the correct steps to take in the very difficult case my husband had encountered, like he always said "it's an all or nothing case". He gave us the goods and the bads, but always reminded us he would try his hardest in the case. He never w...aited for me to follow up with him, he would always contact me immediately to inform me of anything new in refernce to the case. My husband after four long and agonizing months was out and free with his family. We definetly feel we couldn't have picked a better lawyer!
