Honest & Professional

I approached Mr. Peralta after my naturalization was denied. I was scared, frustrated, and didn't know what to do. He was able to provide different options that I could approach. He was always truthful and honest and advised on what was the best choice to take. Never pushy or tried to overcharge ...for his services. His effort and great work has left me with much gratitude as he was instrumental in helping me obtain my naturalization. It was a very thorough and precise process. I sincerely am Thankful for all of Mr. Peralta's advice, help and persistence on my case. He will be a great value to anyone which hires him. I will vouch for Mr. Peralta any day.

Outstanding professional

He took on my husband case that involved immigration and a incident that happened more than ten years ago . It was a long process and lots of stress but PERALTA made sure he handled everything without any delays making the whole situation positive and less stressful on my family. At the end he was we...ll prepared and won the case. He's super professional and very good at keeping you posted of everything going on. He also then helped my husband become u.s citizen . I strongly recommend him .

Permanent Resident Visa

Nelson has helped me greatly over the course of two and a half years to renew my Permanent Resident Visa. I had failed to renew my Temporary Resident Visa for over a year, and Nelson was able to help me put together a case that we presented to USCIS and I was successful in obtaining my visa. Nelson a...lways responded promptly, is well versed in the problems we can across, and we were even successful with an ongoing DUI case. Thank you Nelson

Help with Naturalization Process

Nelson helped with my Naturalization application and supported the process all the way to the ceremony for me. Nelson provided great help to keep me and the application on track from a content and timing perspective. His advice was to the point with practical tips what not to forget. Excellent servic...e and very responsive. He had helped me also several years ago on the removal of my condition of my permanent resident status. Also at that point Nelson's advice was right on, very practical and helped me to get to the next stage.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
