Highly recommend JP Sarmiento

I highly recommend JP and his staff for any immigration work. He was recommended to me by a close friend for handling my wife's immigration from China, and I am very glad I took the advice. It was as painless as anything requiring an attorney could be. During her final interview in GuangZhou I had... the opportunity to stand in line and talk to a bunch of people who attempted China -> US immigration by themselves, with no attorney, and some of the horror stories that I heard shocked me. Don't try to go it alone, its not worth the pain. The problem is that the actual process doesn't turn out to be anything like the application makes it look. We only had 1 little hiccup, and it was all my fault. At the begging JP told me what documents I would need. It went something like, "You need X. Bring Y.... they probably won't even look at it, but if they ask for it & you don't have it, it will be trouble. They say Z is 'optional', but you won't get the visa without it." I didn't bring 1 year of tax returns for a year that I had not filed any taxes. JP told me that it might be trouble, and suggested that I late file an empty tax return for that year and bring that.... but I didn't... and it ended up costing us about a 3 week delay. It all worked out in the end, but I wish I had just listened to him the first time. There is no substitute for the experience these guys have in actually doing this over and over. Don't go it alone. Hire Sarmiento & do what he says. He knows what he's talking about.

Immigration case

Mr Sarmiento accepted to help me with my case of immigration. I was denied help by 2 other attorneys and their fee was even higher than what Mr Sarmiento asked for. Mr Sarmiento succeeded in my case and I recommend him to every one who need an immigration attorney.

Great service

JP was very professional and efficient. He answered all our questions right away, identified possible setbacks and additional requirements, and handled my children's cases without delay. We received the green card approvals in the timeframe that he had mentioned. I couldn't have asked for a better se...rvice.

Mr Sarmiento undid the mess other "lawyers" created

It was by some stroke of luck I came across Mr Sarmiento while desperately searching for yet another lawyer to deal with my case. After years of wasting time and money with the wrong "lawyers" MY CASE IS NOW SOLVED! Mr Sarmiento is knowledgeable, punctual, courteous, he returns calls promptly an...d very importantly; not condescending. A true professional. I would recommend him to anyone, anyone at all.

Excellent Service

I strongly recommend JP Sarmiento Law Firm to you due to their diverse experiences in immigration area and dedicated services to client. I came to Mr. Sarmiento after being suffered by working with big firm lawyer who neither had time to respond to client’s needs or cared enough to not make mistakes ...which resulted in prolonged delay of process at client's expense! I was extremely impressed by Mr. Sarmiento's dedication in offering helpful advice to my cold-call inquiry before I even became his client. Due to his depth knowledge and diverse experiences, case assessment was done quickly and accurately which resulted a speedy success at minimum costs. His staff, especially Ms. Arty had been friendly, helpful, responsive and very understanding of my needs and constraints. I particularly appreciate Mr. Sarmineto’s honesty during case assessment, in which he was extremely open about what he knew and what we both would need further exploration. All of which benefited us greatly. His humble attitude and strong interests for continued learning convince me that Mr. Sarmiento will become a topnotch lawyer who embraces great value and dignity that clients need. We all seem suffer nerve-breakdown when comes to immigration matters because of its complexity and on-going changes, that’s why we tend to rely on big time lawyers with hope they will be our saviors! Not always true! My advice is only dedicated, responsible and honest lawyers who are willing to listen, communicate and offer honest advices are ones that help, big or small doesn’t matter! I truly wish Mr. Sarmiento and his staff greater success and have no doubt they will!
