Proven Excellence in Immigration Credentials, Professionalism, Knowledge, Communication and Courtesy

If any of the following describe you, you must, absolutely MUST consult no other than Mr. Nestor Vicario: - Have many and very, very difficult questions. - Think your circumstances are very particular. - Think your circumstances are unfavorable. - Have a very limited budget. - Have very l...ittle time do deal with a potential case. - Worry too much. My wife and I, totally clueless and inexperienced in the world of immigration law, hired Mr. Vicario to assist in my wife's Adjustment of Status case. To say the least, Mr. Vicario made everything a true breeze for us. He is courteous, straightforward and assertive. You never feel insecure with him at your side. His wealth of knowledge and diverse experience as an immigration attorney is second to NONE. DO NOT pursue any immigration case without hiring him FIRST. No matter how much research you've done or how knowledgeable you think you are, don't go it alone. I am a true cheapskate, by any definition, and can honestly say: he was worth EVERY SINGLE CENT. I can't imagine going through this process without his legal counsel and advice. And I'm sure glad we didn't. He constantly updated us on the status of our case and explained every step in great detail; his timeframes and timelines are realistic and accurate. I would firstly and highly recommend Mr. Vicario as your immigration attorney.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

My husband and I engaged Nestor to assist with converting an H1B visa to Permanent Resident status. We would absolutely recommend Nestor to anyone going through a similar process. He made everything easy to understand; he would send us detailed emails outlining specifically which documents we neede...d to gather for our application. His estimations of the timeline were nearly spot-on. Even better, most of our correspondence was directly with Nestor himself, though his team is also very responsive. Before our interview, he took time to do a practice session and help us get comfortable with the kinds of questions that might be asked. Overall, full marks for a great experience!

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.

He is experienced and knowledgeable

It's indispensable to have a good lawyer at your side to walk you through the process. I felt that exactly when I went to Nestor. He is experienced and knowledgeable, which is the most important aspect when I look for an immigration lawyer, because immigration is a complicated matter and often times ...case by case. You don't need a lawyer who just wants to follow the standard process without knowing how to deal with specific scenarios. Nestor knows what he is doing so well that he can give you clear guidance during each step. He knows exactly what immigration officers are looking so I was prepared. Also, Nestor is very approachable and down-to-earth, unlike the stereotype of arrogant lawyer. He always answered my questions timely and patiently. I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me. I recommend him to anyone needs help with immigration.
