Maria A. Kalmanovich

Maria was my counsel and representative during my first appeal process, the new hearings, and the DHS appeal of the Immigration Judge’s decision granting my asylum application (this took place in Pearsall, Texas). After this long and exhausting process, I realized that my biggest mistake was attendin...g my first individual hearing alone. The immigration process in the United States is extremely difficult, but the appeal process is a complete nightmare — one small mistake can lead to the appeal being denied. But Maria knew exactly what to do to achieve the best possible outcome. During my new hearings, she managed the courtroom proceedings in such a way that the Immigration Judge had no grounds to deny my case. Moreover, she kept me fully informed at every step of the process. We had multiple video and phone calls to coordinate everything and discuss the key issues in my case. From our very first conversation, I felt that she could be trusted and that she truly knew what she was doing. And throughout the entire process, she never gave me a reason to doubt her. She proved herself not only as an outstanding attorney, but also as someone who understood that this case was a matter of life and death for me. She is truly passionate about her profession, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer. Thank you, Maria.

Maria pulled me and my boyfriend out of a nightmare! We'd been detained in Louisiana for almost 7 months in total, but with Maria's help, we were granted asylum. She guided us, answered all our questions, helped us write our declaration and prepare for court. She is super lgbtq+ friendly, kind, under...standing and explains everything that is going on. I highly recommend this lawyer because the whole experience was just great!

We were very lucky to meet Maria Kalmanovich, my husband has been in detention in Texas for 10 months, we have a very difficult situation, but Maria turned out to be a wonderful person and lawyer. I can recommend her because she helped us a lot. She provided support and did her job very professionall...y. When you need help, it is very important to find a good lawyer! Maria Kalmanovich always responded quickly to all my messages, quickly did all the paperwork, always gave good advice, it was very easy to work with her. The main thing is that Maria Kalmanovich is a good person!
