Excellent Lawyer

If you are looking for an immigration lawyer, do not look any further. Nestor Vicario along with the entire Milla Vicario team are excellent and very professional. My husband and I contacted Nestor Vicario to assist us in getting my husband's Green Card. I cannot thank Nestor enough for all that he h...as done for us through this process. He was very flexible in setting up timings to meet with us. We met several times to go over paper work, look over the documents we had collected, and discuss any questions my husband and I had. Many times I ended work late, but thankfully Nestor was able to attend me over the phone or over email. Nestor is thoroughly knowledgeable in the immigration process and his work is very professional. He was able to answer all of our questions with certainty. We felt cared for and comfortable with meeting him and discussing our case. Nestor always replied to our emails immediately and gave us accurate responses to everything we inquired about. He looked over all of our documents carefully and professionally organized everything. I continue to email Nestor about questions I have even 9 months after our application process and he continues to support me and reply immediately with care and professional responses. If you are looking for someone who will really walk you through the entire process, always be at your side, and give you professional advice on your case as well, Nestor Vicario should definitely be your choice.

Nestor Vicario is an OUTSTANDING immigration attorney

We were desperate.... a family member had been taken into custody by ICE.... I didn't know who to call, but we needed an immigration attorney immediately! I went onto the internet and found the firm of Milla Vicario. They have a nice web page, that's all I knew. My first contact was with their secre...tary, Rebecca, who is helpful, courteous, and competent. No attitude! Just very helpful and kind. Through Rebecca, I connected by phone with attorney, Nestor Vicario, within hours of our family member being detained. Nestor helped me understand the process. Like his secretary, Nestor was kind and patient even though he didn't know us, and we hadn't even paid him any money yet. He was also competent and effective. He immediately made phone calls over to ICE and was able to get important information on what was happening to our family member, where he was being taken, and so on. I was so lucky to have fallen into the hands of an attorney who is not only knowledgable and experienced, but honest and dedicated!!! For the two months that followed, Nestor helped my family get our loved-one out of detention on bond. It was not an easy case. Nestor was with us every step of the way, he was so patient with us and he worked diligently on the case. He spent a lot of time with us, helping us to understand everything, and helping us prepare the necessary documents. He also spent long hours preparing for the hearing. Milla Vicario's fees are very reasonable compared to some of the shadey-laywers you hear about. I feel that every dollar we spent on legal fees with Nestor Vicario was worth it! In short, I HIGHLY recommend Nestor Vicario, and his firm Milla Vicario, if someone in your family has an immigration issue. Nestor is still helping us, and we are just so very grateful for his assistance, and so indebted to him.

Satisfied with Milla Vicario!

I hired Nestor Vicario of Milla Vicario to help me with my DACA application. I cannot tell you how happy I am with his services and his staff! Mr. Vicario was always available, always responded to my emails and calls the same day most importantly for me, he always showed that he cared about my case. ...He's genuine and truly care about his work and his clients. He was recommended to me by a friend who also had a really great experience with this firm. My case was approved last month and I am so grateful from benefiting from DACA. I plan to continue working with Mr. Vicario for any immigration services I may need in the future.

A very outstanding and dedicated attorney

Attorney Nestor Vicario assisted me in applying for citizenship here in Houston, TX. My case was very complicated because of prior arrests. Attorney Nestor was extremely helpful in the process and helping get approved!! Now I am a US citizen and I'm so grateful for having him help me. He prepared me ...for the interview and went with me. I was very nervous because I was not sure if I was going to be approved but Nestor was great at supporting me, preparing me for the interview and helping me get approved. I highly recommend him to anyone with immigration issues. El abogado Nestor Vicario me ayudo a aplicar para la ciudadania aqui en Houston, TX. Mi caso era complicado por historial de arrestos. El abogado Nestor me ayudo demasiado en el proceso y a que me aprobaran el caso. Ahora soy ciudadano y estoy muy agradecido porque el me ayudo. El me preparo para la entrevista y fue conmigo. Yo estaba muy nervioso porque no estaba seguro si me iban aprobar pero Nestor me apoyo y a prepararme para la entrevista. Le recomiendo a Nestor a cualquier persona con problemas de inmigracion.
