UNPROFESSIONAL NOT RESPONSIBLE AT ALL

"We are deeply concerned about the lack of competency, ethics, and responsibility displayed by our attorney. Their actions have consistently failed to meet the professional standards expected of them, resulting in significant harm to our interests. We urge the appropriate authorities to investigate t...his matter and take appropriate action to ensure that such behavior does not occur again in the future."

Highly recommended, humble and reliable

iAfter working with Matt I have a new appreciation for have hard work, dedication to a case and an attorney who truly cares about making things right. The long hours he put into seeking justice for my friend was unprecedented. Great immigration attorney who doesn’t act snooty or better than anyone el...se. Truly a humble and reliable person who helped us accomplish (what seemed to be) an unattainable feat. He went above and beyond his duties as an attorney and acted more as a friend than our lawyer. He is highly recommended, achieves results and will fight for justice. I would hire him over any other attorney I’ve met!

Great professionalism and fully understands Hispanic culture

After more than three years, Mr. Luening was by my side supporting my case through communication, keeping me up to date with any court changes, and filing necessary paperwork. He was present at all of my court hearings and worked diligently to help me adjust my immigration status. I can add that he ...is very proficient in the Spanish language and has a positive rapport with the Spanish speaking population.

Difficult case didn't scare Atty. Mateo

My wife and i retained Atty. Luening to fix our papers based on an application filed by my brother in law in the 1990s. I thought everything was going to be easy, however, because of Abogado Mateo's strong knowledge of the law, he identified a potential problem with a previous marriage I had. He tir...elessly investigated that, had to file a family law case, then continued with our case! We just got our green cards thanks to Atty. Luening's smart approach to our case.

SCAM

Hired him for my immigration case. Almost granted, I would be able to say in the US. After paying him 2200 dollar he stoped answering my and my families calls, voicemassages, and texts. Missed various court dates and was late once. Was giving arguments to courts with laws that were out of date and ou...t of practice. Gave me hope but no results sat in an ICE detention facility for 10 moths and got deported. Stole my money freedom and time.
