Friendly, Reliable, Responsive

I hired Atty. Sarmiento (JP) for assistance in handling my deferred action application. From the get go he was very responsive and courteous when responding to my inquiries which I had plenty of! My e-mails tended to be wordy, which I genuinely felt guilty about, but JP still managed to get to the... gist of my questions and answer them to my satisfaction. He's easy to work with and is quite friendly, helping alleviate some of the anxiety surrounding the process. I was able to pay his fee in three payments which also helped alleviate the financial impact of hiring a lawyer. With his firm handling the paperwork, I was able to file a fairly comprehensive application a few months back and I just received my approval this past weekend! I am, of course, very happy with the result and am glad that I had hired JP because he took much of the guess-work and uncertainty out of the whole process; it helped to know that I had sent the best possible application so the waiting game wasn't as stressful. I can only speak from this one experience but I don't think I'm alone in giving a huge thumbs-up and a stellar recommendation to the work JP and his firm does.

One of the hardest working law firms on the east coast

" Why did you choose a lawyer in Cleveland to handle your case in Baltimore ? " Those are the words of the immigration officer who seemed pretty surprise at my lawyer pick.I can say that working with JP was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.During my first meeting with JP, he drov...e 7 hours from Cleveland on a Saturday morning to meet me at a coffee shop without any guarantee that we would be working together. After that day, I told myself that this is the kind of person I want to work with.What was also a decisive factor in working with the Sarmiento Law Firm, was that money never seemed to be an issue and they all seemed genuinely interested in helping people .When calling lawyers around they would ask you $ 100 to say "yes " or no to your questions. JP would engage in 20 minutes phone conversation with me without asking me for a dime. I think that it says something about the kind of person you are dealing with; and just as I thought ,as my case went along, and when money was an issue, his commitment to my family and I never wavered.To conclude, I would just say that I am actually so glad I got to work with the Sarmiento Law Firn because I have learned so much. You should never pick the most prestigious law firm, or think that price necessarily means quality . You need to pick the team whom you judge will work the hardest for you, and I can guarantee you that with JP and his team you will never be disappointed in that sense. Thank you so much to the Sarmiento Law Firm for your hard work. We will always be grateful.

Nice guys, good job!

I am so lucky to have Sarmiento guys to work on my immigration case. They are pretty easy-communiate,responsible, professional and patient. They work efficiently and always update in time. Also their quote is very very reasonable. Being with these guys, you are treated more like their friends even th...e families than a client. I trust them 100% and will recommend them to all my friends needing the immigration help.

I have never seen such kind of service in decades! Very personalized and knowledgeable in dealing w my immigration concerns.

Very efficient and timely in handling cases. He personally works w clients in a straightforward manner and offers several options for you to think and discussed w him before a strategy can be finalized. On top of it, the service fee that he charges is way to reasonable compared to other immigration l...awyers out there.

J1 waiver application

Jp Sarmiento handled my case promptly, efficiently with great result!!!. I've been to 2 different lawyers for consultation prior and both gave me very bleak answers. i was told that the process would take about 6 month to a year and I might not even get approved. I came across JP's firm when resear...ching similar case and was immediately put at ease by his professionalism and knowledge on the subject after initial consultation. He took my case and less than 2 months later I was able to get my visa waived. I am now able to proceed with my green card application, thank you JP!!!!
