Worst immigration lawyer I've ever seen in my life

I would give it zero stars. You cannot communicate with her. She displays arrogant attitudes. They made a mistake in our applications, but they accepted one of them by chance and rejected the other without even processing it. We asked for our money back but she did nothing. We filed a complaint with ...the Florida Bar Association to seek our legal rights against her. I recommend you stay away. Her knowledge of immigration is very poor. I'm not even telling her not to contact you.

Excellent Service!

We were extremely happy with the law firm's guidance and knowledge of the process. Highly recommended!

She is so terrible

She is a dishonest lawyer. She is incompetent and truncates all the processes. She never answers the calls and sends the migration documents late and poorly completed, for this reason they return them and the process takes a long time. I definitely do not recommend it at all. Run away from her and do...n't waste your money. She only wants your money but never help you. From my own experience I can say that it delayed my entire process because it doesn't work well, it doesn't do things well. She destroyed my family. Her advice as a lawyer is terrible because she does not know the immigration laws and advises you in the wrong way, causing you to lose your money and your lose the immigration process. She is a cruel and ruthless lawyer.

Riza advised us badly for our visa process

I hired Gabriela Riza for my visa, and even though my wife and I paid $ 5000 for our visas, we did not get anything, she advised us badly. We only saw her once when we paid her the first $ 500 installment, but she never wanted to attend again, it was always with her assistants. The staff that she hir...es changes constantly and she moves her offices at every moment. When we went to her office to pay, we always saw people shouting at the front desk demanding results from their cases and claiming their money. Finally, other lawyers told us that the case had been mishandled and that the visa that Gabrila Riza had processed for us was not the correct one, also other lawyers seeing our case were surprised at all the bad advice and practices that were committed with our case, for this reason we want no one to go through what we have. Gabriela Riza made our tourist visas were at stake because all their advice was harmful to our immigration status.

  • 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.
