Dan Estrada's Reviews

Posted by Jay | June 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

We won the uphill battle. Couldn't have done it without Estrada.

I'll begin my review by stating the following: We won a settlement. Dan Estrada helped me achieve 99% more than their initial pittance offer (I did not make this number up, I actually whipped out a calculator to get the total percentage). With Estrada's help, the uphill battle became much more mana...geable. He kept me sane, and kept me on track on how to present my case. He also gave me realistic answers - he didn't mince with words and gave me the real facts of what we were facing, what we would have to prepare, best and worst case scenarios. And a definite plus on his part, he also kept me from going way off the OCD charts by keeping me focused on what to prepare and what to leave on the backburner. I spoke with several recommended lawyers from friends, associates and coworkers, and yet none of them were willing to take this case due to the difficulty. Estrada decided to take it on, and considered it a challenge. In the end, after several months of back and forth between us and the insurance lawyers, we came to a settlement with 100% of the policy limits to be paid towards my damages. I would highly recommend Dan Estrada's services to any friends and family who may find themselves in need of legal help. I'm certainly glad I did.

The best and honest attorney

Mr. Dan Estrada has been a great and honest lawyer. When my husband was held by ICE it was really hard to find an honest lawyer that could help us through the process. Mr. Estrada was able to release my husband from jail in a week without a fine! He terminate his deportation case and help get a legal... status. He's still helping us obtain a legal permanent residence. He gave me peace of mind. I don't know what would I do if my husband got deported and leaving me with a toddler and a 3 month old baby. We are so truly thankful with him, he has been very professional and knowledgeable lawyer. Throughout this 4 years he has never passed our case to his legal assistance. Our case was treated directly with him. Therefore, we highly recommend Dan Estrada he is the best lawyer you can hire and he would help you!

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.
