Recommendation for Liset Lefebvre

I have been dealing with immigration attorneys in both the Dallas and Houston Area for well over ten years due to the complex nature of my deportation case. I have worked with numerous attorneys including board certified attorneys in Dallas all to no avail until I went to Chavez & Valko. I first me...t with Mr. Chavez for consultation but Liset Lefebvre and her paralegals Eduardo Amaro and Denise Conde handled my immigration matters. I had orders of deportation from the states of Louisiana, New York, and Illinois and married a USC. Other attorneys before tried to file stays of deportation, do appeals, file motions to re-open, charged thousands of dollars but in the end would only tell me it was denied. Mr. Chavez was very professional and told me he would try his best and charged a minimal fee and said it would depend on if we were granted the motion on how much I would pay later on as opposed to all the other attorneys who wanted tens of thousands of dollars without even knowing if they could get the case re-opened. Liset did even one better and had my orders of deportation terminated after multiple attempts on her part and we did not have to go to court. Liset is the best immigration attorney anyone can ask for no matter the complexity or ease of the case. She is professional, honest, and truly cares for her clients. Unlike other attorneys she is always available to talk to, patient, and goes above and beyond in every aspect of the case. She is surrounded by an outstanding team who are more than qualified and extremely knowledgeable. With other attorneys I had began to question everything they did and why they are doing it to make sure it was beneficial to me but at Chavez and Valko and especially with Liset I was in good hands and felt secure. I definitely recommend Liset to everyone I know because I understand the hassle and hardship of having immigration issues and from my experience and knowledge no one is with you every step of the way and as successful as she is. I received my green card this month after nine years of fear and disappointment. I nearly gave up on my case and now I am about to retain Liset again to work on my parents matters. It was a blessing to meet Liset and I wish her and her team the best and would recommend her without a doubt to anyone who is struggling with their legality or anyone who wants it done right the first time.

Excellent Attorney!!!!

We are so grateful for the help Attorney Liset Lefebvre has given us. She first helped me getting my divorce, which wasn't a conventional situation. She managed the case with a lot of knowledge and always kept me informed. Then she helped me and my husband to have a successful immigration case, getti...ng my green card, in another not so convectional situation, since I had a previous case from my first marriage. I would highly recommend Attorney Liset Lefebvre services and will definitely hire her again in the future.

Prompt and Responsive Service

I was satisfied with the service rendered by Mrs Liset Lefebvre as well as Ms Denise Conde. Both of them were very helpful in guiding me step by step until my visa was granted. My spouse and I have been leading a happier life since then, thanks to their assistance. All the best to you both!

Look no further..

My boyfriend was in need of an immigration lawyer - and quickly! He had a lawyer that he'd been paying previously but she dropped his case soon before his scheduled court date so we were scrambling to find someone who would be willing to represent him at such short notice. That's when I came acro...ss Mrs. Lefebvre's contact information. I contacted Mrs. Lefebvre's office and she requested to have a phone conference with my boyfriend and I. After hearing about the case and evaluating the difficult circumstances, she made the decision that she would represent my boyfriend because she felt she could help. She was right!! She was able to help my boyfriend. Throughout the whole process leading up to the scheduled court date, she and Ms. Denise Conde stayed in contact with us making sure we get the documents they needed in order to properly prepare for court. If we had any questions or needed clarification, they were there with the answers we were seeking. Ms. Candanedo processed payments quickly and efficiently without any errors. All three ladies were extremely professional and helpful. Thank God for these ladies. If you're looking for legal representation for immigration, look no further. You will not be disappointed!!
