“Extremely professional, responsive, thorough and detailed oriented”

“Extremely professional, responsive, thorough and detailed oriented” When I was told to contact immigration attorney Dr Matins, From the first interview I felt I finally was in good hands, I found someone who cared about my case and how important this was, not just for me but my family as well. ... He's extremely responsive, professional, thoughtful in his advice and communication and is always approachable and respectful. Detailed oriented attorney, knowing exactly what he’s doing, Dr. Martins, and his incredible team, prepared my case in the most meticulous way you can expect and the outcome was the result of a job well done, he got it approved! Very knowledgeable explains everything from start to finish. I am completely satisfied with the work that this firm has done for me. I would recommend anyone to this firm because I know they will be well taken care of. The reassurance of knowing you have an amazing attorney going at bat for you is the best feeling made everything very seamless. The responsiveness we experienced from day one was unexpected and very much appreciated. Highly recommended for any of his areas of expertise. Thanks Dr Martins. Kenny.

BEST LAWYER

First of all, let me start by saying that Dr. Martins Imudia is the most loyal and best lawyer you could ever seek advise from. Believe you me if I say loyal and honest I mean it because if you see him on first consultation and he tells you he can or cannot help you, he will let you know upfront and... explain the reason why to you. I first met Dr. Martin in 2015 with my immigration problem, he did walk me through what was going to happen from beginning to end. and yes, I know everyone is cautious about money as well but Dr. Martin will tell you all about that as well and let you know upfront also that, its a matter of time dealing with immigration and therefore has to have patience. As stated earlier on, my paperwork began in 2015 with Dr. Martin and office staff taking meticulous attention to every sensitive paperwork and follow ups. I am proud to say that with all the effort and hardwork him and his office staff did, my paperwork is complete and now have my green card and live in peace. I talked to a lot of lawyers in reference to my situation for overstaying my visa and nobody could help me out but Dr. Martin did. Like I said it takes a lot of patience. From 2015 to 2019, and that's how long it took but everything worked out. So, all you people out there looking for a lawyer to represent you on serious and tough immigration issues, please pick the phone up and call Dr. Martins Imudia. that all I can say. Thank you so much Dr. Martins and employees for being the best out there to help me out. You deserve all the effort and hardwork. thank you Winifred

Petition for family member

We consulted with Centers for Immigration about our immigration journey to legal permanent resident and with the knowledge and experience that they have, we hired them for our immigration issues. They were competent in their ability to File our petition and appeared for our interview and also, comuni...cate relevant information to us in a timely manner. Their services are greatly appreciated and would definitely recommend them to friends and family or anyone I know seeking a professional attorney to represent them in any legal immigration proceeding.

Excellent Service and great results

From the moment we walked into his office, we were treated as VIPs. Dr. Imudia advised us and guided us every step of the process. He was EXTREMELY patient and always made himself available to answer all our questions either in person, phone or e mail. He really knows his stuff. Do exactly as he says... and the outcome will be positive. Gloria, is also a great asset to the firm, very efficient friendly and professional. So glad we found them :)

I-130 Green Card

Absolutely no hiccups with our case. Dr. Imudia took the time to explain everything to us and led us through it step-by-step. He was thorough and accessible as well. Proud to say that I'm now a US green card holder, after only about 6 months from application!

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.
