Experienced Trial Lawyer in Irving Texas

I usually don't write reviews for anyone or matter of fact i don't even yelp but i came across this site and i had to write a review for Dan. I would recommend Dan Estrada to anyone who needs a representation in Immigration Court for cases involving Moral Turpitude. My family and I called around ...to find a good lawyer in Dallas and none of them would represent me. They're responses were "just sign the paper" or "I have no chance" etc. However, Dan Estrada, as an experienced trial lawyer he did his homework and found out that i qualify for a waiver. I just don't get why none of the lawyers i called before Dan didn't know i qualify for a waiver or at least say i have a chance. I highly recommend Dan, he really knows what his doing before trial and during trial. His professionalism and trustworthy was why i was able to retain him and win the case. He was available whenever i needed his advice or if i had any questions about my case. His fee was reasonable, it wasn't too high or too low. I truly thank Dan for what he has done for me and if it wasn't for him i wouldn't be here writing up this review.

Wonderful, personal, diligent service.

Mr. Estrada has been not only the best lawyer we've hired, but the best we've consulted with. He has provided an overall better experience than any of our friend's lawyers (we know a lot of people working through immigration cases). My husband was suddenly detained by ICE for illegal entry into the U...S at the beginning of April, 2012. Naturally, I desperately called the firm we'd been working with to find out what we could d do to get him released. We had gotten an I-130 petition approved, and thought we were pretty much home safe. I waited several days to hear back from a legal assistant who informed me that I needed to schedule an appointment with the attorney to discuss how to proceed. I made the appointment and when it came I drove the hour from my house to downtown Dallas, waited for twenty minutes in the waiting area, and upon finally speaking with the attorney was informed that the best chance my husband had was to sign a voluntary departure and continue his case from Mexico. I was appalled, because we had a 3 month old baby , a two year old, and a four year old. With three children, and with my husband being the primary bread-winner there was no way I would have been able to make it. We immediately began looking for another attorney, and after several phone consultations with many accredited Dallas-based attorneys my mother found Estrada Law. I believe she did so online via a search for state-certified immigration specialists. He, as I mentioned above, was exactly what we needed. He's been handling our case now for about a year and has worked diligently on doing everything he's promised. When my husband was detained we had a little over $1,500 in savings and i used 1/3 of that just getting through the first few weeks. Mr. Estrada was understanding of our situation and charged us only a small retainer. He got my husband released from ICE custody within just weeks of hiring him and has had a minor criminal charge dropped from our case. He has kept us hopeful when things seemed hopeless, and is optimistic about getting my husband's order of removal lifted. I have been especially impressed with his flexibility and personal involvement with us as clients. As I said, we've been working with Mr. Estrada for about a year and I have only spoken with an assistant once. He has never failed to respond to any emails or texts or calls to his personal cell. I have already recommended him to friends and family. We are anxious to put all of our immigration issues far behind us and start moving forward with plans and dreams of normalcy. Mr. Estrada is getting us there.

Above and Beyond, Mr Estrada

I had a very difficult case that no other lawyer i hired could solve,coming from Philadelphia PA,the lawyer i hire there could not help me,but just took my money and never give me back my money,cause he did not do a single work for over 5 years,but when i move to Dallas,i meet Mr Estrada,went to his ...office,right from the beginning everything he said he will help me with,he did just that,with no extra fees like other ask for,Mr Estrada help me in every step,things i could not do,he did it himself,money that i did not have to add,he waved the extra fees,he is very patient with a lot of knowledge and most of all trustworthy ,every other lawyer i meet before him rejected my case,but Mr Estrada assured me that it was possible,now i have what i need ,my permanent resident after 12 years of waiting,with Mr Estrada it took me less than 2 years and everything went well ,Mr Estrada is a great Lawyer and i'have been recommending him to others,he is just not a lawyer ,he is concern about your case like it was his own,and i pray that he will continue to be a blessing to many.

Not reliable, do not hire this lawyer for any case due to slip and fall

Not reliable, do not recommend to anybody. Had a firm in Houston, good lawyers to litigate in my case; slipped and fell in Walmart , Mr. Estrada insisted in taking the case, he promised me he had experience negotiating with Walmart. To be specific, he wanted me to accept $1,500.00 to split it in th...ree, him, doctors and myself! I gave up on him and had to live with my back pain. There’s also a video from the store very explicit but he did not have the time to fight my case. I regret for giving my case to Mr. Estrada. Don’t do the same error, you’ll regret it. No good, 1 out of 10 is my rating for him.

Replied last November 07, 2017

Ms. CV: I regret that you were dissatisfied with my Law Office. You had already fired another Law firm before you came to me. In my 28 years of practice, I have never "insisted" to clients on taking their cases. From Sept. 2016 until April, 2017, I provided you with a lengthy explanation of the Texas premises liability laws and how your case would be affected by these laws. I obtained video surveillance footage from the defendant company that did not show any clear evidence of the area where you fell or the alleged water hazard that caused your fall. Over the 8 month period, I communicated with the defendant claims rep who believed that there was "no liability" but they offered you $1,500. As a general practice, I convey any and all settlement offers to my clients, we discuss the offers, and I always leave the decision to accept or reject the offer to the client. I NEVER make this decision for the client. I did not tell you to accept this offer. You claimed very serious injuries to your body and also stated that you needed a psychiatrist. I advised you that an attorney evaluates an injury case by investigating all aspects of medical diagnosis and prognosis for settlement purposes. In your case, it appeared that you believed it necessary to have additional medical care. As the defendant company made you a token offer, I informed you about filing a lawsuit and how long the litigation process would take (sometimes a period of two years after the lawsuit is filed) I would have continued working on your case had you given me the opportunity. I have had great success in liability cases against this defendant company in the past. I honored your request for a release letter so that you could find another lawyer on April 20, 2017 as you informed me that you had talked with a Houston lawyer. In this review you state that you had good lawyers 'to litigate" your case. I contacted the defendant claims rep on Nov. 3 who informed me that no Houston lawyer had contacted them and your claim was "denied" Again, I regret that you believed that you had to "give up" on my legal services. I have represented hundreds of clients and have pursued many of these cases successfully through years of Court Trials. I wish you the best of luck in your future pursuits. Dan Estrada

Application for Naturalization N-400

He was supposed to go with me to the immigration appointment but he called me to cancel on the day before the appointment and told me that he had an important case to take care of. he never return phone calls, and his associates are not very helpful. like i said he left me a voicemail to tell me tha...t could not make it, i have to the appointment by myself and my citizenship was denied. three week later he calls me to asked me if i wanted to reapply or take to the next level. meaning district court obviously he wanted more money. Honestly just be careful with this lawyer.
