Positive Outcome

Dr. Martins helped my husband and I when we were having a difficulty getting his green card since USCIS kept asking for evidence. He gave great advice and did everything in a timely manner. With his help, we were able to finally get my husband's green card.

Feed back........

I did send a comment earlier and I am sending it again: Martins Imudia is a very good lawyer when it comes to concern. Some lawyers are interested in money more than serving their client, but that was not the case with Mr. Imudia...........

Great atturney

Martins I. Imudia is very professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and experienced in his work. He is up to date on immigration issues. He is very friendly and comfortable to discuss matters relating to immigration among other things. I strongly recommend him for anyone who is looking for an immigra...tion lawyer. I had a very complicated immigration case and almost gave up on it until a friend of mine recommended me Martins Imudia. At the very 1-st appointment, he explained what is going on with my case now, what are my next steps , what are my chances to get GC. i walked out his office very confident and much happier, then b4 appt. Long story short, he got me permanent green card within 2 years. As i said earlier i had a very complicated case and i already gave up on even thinking to get permanent gc. the reason it took so long was that immigration had lost my files, then they find them. Then they switch the officers on my case. Then we had hard time getting any answers from immigration for around 6-8 moths. And when they finally responded, it was a permanent green card! i cannot describe how happy i was! Thank you very much Martins Imudia!!!

Former Client

“I am now a US citizen with a stable job, own a house and have my own practice and enjoying America. As I look back I am very grateful to Martins Imudia and his staff who were with me during the immigration process. Martins made himself and staff available at all times explaining each step in the pro...cess addressing any concerns I had and putting my mind at ease in what could have been the most stressful time in my life. Martins also made the payments easy for me (affordable monthly installments) which did help a lot since I did not have a job until I got a work permit which came about 4 weeks after my papers were filed. Today, with Martins’ help, my son is a US citizen too and proudly serving as an officer in the United States Army, and I no longer have to worry about the wellbeing of my parents in Africa because they helped me through the process of filing for them to be here too. I cannot thank Martins enough but keep recommending him to others so they can enjoy the privilege I enjoyed as his client” Thank You, Emmanuella

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
