Highly recommended! Matt helped me so much to beat my case

Mr. Luening was an amazing lawyer in my case.He helped me so much and did everything you would want an attorney to do.He helped me better understand things with the law pertaining to my case.I feel he was very well prepared in my jury trial which gave me all the confidence we would win.

A very knowledgeable attorney and upstanding

We did not end up hiring Atty. Luening, but we did go for a consult. He was very knowledgeable about the law -- we were trying to see if we could apply for my wife's papers. He told us that she would not be able to due to some past immigration record that she had. We originally were mad and we lef...t Atty. Luening's office because we just wanted to believe that he didn't know what he was talking about. WE WERE WRONG. Other attorneys told us that my wife would have no problem getting her papers, regardless of her past immigration transgressions. My wife's application was cancelled and now she is in removal proceedings === we should have listened to Atty. Luening. He obviously knows what he's talking about.

U Visa Success

Atty. Luening did a great job getting me my U Visa. Other attorneys did not want to take my case because the assault that happened to me happened so many years ago, but Atty. Luening dug deep into police and court records and was able to gather the necessary evidence in order to file my U Visa appli...cation. It took a long time, but that was due to government delays and not Atty. Luening. He just phoned me last week to notify me that my application was approved!

Mateo won my son's asylum case!!

My son came to the US by himself, fleeing danger in Central America. We went and saw Atty. Mateo to help because they picked my son up at the border. Atty. Mateo took the case, charged us a very reasonable fee, and began working immediately on the case. We had my son's interview in January and tod...ay we received news that the case had been won!! My family is very grateful to Atty. Mateo for all of his hard work and dedication to my son's case. He very skillfully and masterfully navigated the law and the procedure to get us perfect results!!

Atty. Luening is an extremely dedicated lawyer - he helped when others couldn't

I was in the custody of immigration for 9 months. I had been arrested for my 2nd DUI and a Hit and Run Causing Injury. These convictions I had were pretty severe. Atty. Luening visited with me MULTIPLE times while I was in custody of immigration -- he took his own time on Saturdays and Sundays to ...prepare for my final hearing. Because of Atty. Luening's hard work and dedication, we won my case in immigration court -- he was able to get me cancellation of removal and I will now be a permanent resident thanks to his expertise in the law and his very hard work.
