Don’t recommend

I don’t recommend their service if your family relies on the application. Our family were encouraged by good reviews so we approached them but it looks like these reviews were misleading. First, I don’t believe all available options were discussed in our first meeting which of course affected our d...ecision. We came to know that we had that additional option later on from another lawyer. Second, when we went the path they suggested, the flat fees they require is for first submission. They will ask for additional fees if further information had to be requested by USCIS (be aware of that). They will not follow on the application, so you have to take care of that. One of our applications filed by them had been closed due to inactivity and we were not informed. After waiting for 3 years, I expect that means stating over and/or paying more fees. So frustrating

It is unfortunate that this client did not understand all the work that went into her husband's case. Removal proceedings are very complex, and sometimes when a client does not understand the procedures the attorney is blamed when things don't go exactly as the client thinks they should. In this case, before I was hired, I explained in writing that I would not be able to appear in court or visit detention facilities because of Covid, and that if that was a concern, she should not hire me. She said it was not a problem and that she understood. I appeared telephonically at every hearing held for her husband about which we had notice after being retained. Then, my firm spent a tremendous amount of time trying to get her husband released from ICE detention while we pursued other aspects of the case. We even included her husband in a federal class action suit as a named plaintiff in an attempt to force ICE to release him, but at that time, as is now well known, ICE was not releasing anyone. The fact that ICE refused to release her husband despite all our efforts and in violation of court orders is in no way indicative of the hours and hours spent fighting that battle. She hired a new firm because they were willing to go to court in person, and we cooperated in every way possible wit that firm. That firm went forward using the application I had prepared and information I had gathered. Her husband was released in 25 days because that was the date set by me for his trial. In terms of the refund, given the number of hours spent trying to get her husband released from detention, in the preparation of his application for relief, and in preparation for the trial, we actually refunded more than what the client was entitled to.

Simply put...Amazing!!!

My husband and I are so grateful for Fernando! He saved us from a really tight spot when our former attorney left us without counsel a week prior to my husbands deportation hearing. He attended court with us and got us a continuance granted for Cancellation of Removal. After that he helped us prepare... our case in only 90 days, Fernando and Christine were beyond amazing! They both were there for us every step of the way and guided us step by step! Our trial went by without a hitch and the outcome was in our favor. We are now just waiting for a green card number to become available for my husband. Thanks to Fernando we can now start to focus on our family and our future. We are forever grateful for him! He and Christine are an amazing team and are both so caring and make sure you understand every single possible outcome! Fernando is BEYOND qualified for any immigration needs! We would recommend him to any and everyone! Thank you so much for believing in us and helping to keep our family together!

Amazing lawyer

Thanks to Mr. Perez, we got our green card! We were in a state of despair because we thought getting the green card was impossible, then we found Mr. Perez. He helped us through the process and got us our green card.

Excellent Service and Professionalism

Mr. Perez and his legal assistant Christine Conde provided us with excellent and professional service throughout our entire immigration process. They were in constant communication with us every step of the way. Highly recommend.
