Mr. Verdin and his associates represented one of my criminal clients in his immigration matter. They achieved an amazing result, keeping my client in the country despite multiple criminal cases (including two felonies!). I am always confident in referring immigration cases to him, knowing they will get the absolute best result possible!

I've known Isaul for almost as long as I've been an attorney. We went to military basic training together and then went on to serve in the same army JAG office. I was fortunate to have his office next door to my own. Whenever stumped I was quick to seek his advice. Following our military service we also worked together in immigration for a time. Knowing his work and ethic very well I can unreservedly attest to the fact that he is exceptionally gifted, competent, and dedicated to his clients. I have always been impressed with the fact that he is always at the cutting edge of the law and is a master of its creative use. I feel so confident in Isaul's work that I refer every Texas based case to him. Immigration is a wonderful area of the law. I can honestly say that I would not be an immigration attorney today if he had not introduced me to it, and I deeply appreciate him for that.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Isaul for over 10 years. He is an exceptionally talented attorney and subject matter expert. As a prosecutor, I occasionally require information on the impact of a criminal conviction for an immigrant. Isaul is the most well versed attorney I know in this area and always provides timely, accurate, factually correct, and articulate advice. Additionally, I have worked as a peer with Isaul in the United States Army Judge Advocate General Corps. I have witnessed first hand his innovative legal mind, dedication to duty, selfless service, honor, integrity and conviction to see just results achieved. If you need an attorney that is an expert in immigration, and you want the best, this is your man.
