Martin Valko

We would highly recommend Dallas immigration lawyer Martin Valko to anyone wishing to make their immigration process go more smoothly. When each of us first met Martin Valko both of us felt very comfortable and confident. Mr. Valko was extremely courteous and helpful and displayed exceptional knowled...ge in the field of immigration law. Mr. Valko assisted my wife and me with her I-485 permanent residence case. He communicated with clarity and all of our concerns, however minor, were promptly addressed either by him or his assistant. He provided us with personal support at a time when it was most needed just days before our scheduled interview with the immigration official. It took us a less than a year of filing the paperwork that my wife was granted a residency card. We cannot explain in words how happy we have been since we obtained my wife's permanent residency card. Once again on behalf of both of us thank you for the quick, steadfast, honest, and hard work put into our case resulting in success. With warm regards and God Bless. Mirna & Blas

My immigration case, a J-1 waiver of 2-year home residency requirement, was a peculiar one and therefore difficult. I am a researcher in the field of Nanotechnology and I needed to obtain a J-1 waiver so that I could stay here in the US with my husband and baby and continue my carrier and research wo...rk. I consulted and hired the services of 2 well know or major law firms in Dallas and even consulted a well know law firm in Washington D.C. that specializes in J-1 cases. This was one of the most painful experiences I had to deal with. I couldn’t get a hold to the lawyers assigned to my case (they will not return phone calls or emails); in several occasions I was given incomplete information and at times inaccurate. There was no feedback or answer to my questions but consistent reminders that I would not be able to succeed obtaining a waiver without their experience. The law firm in Washington, eventually refuse to take my case because they considered that my case had a low rate of success. I wasted one valuable year fighting with lawyers, trying to reach them and getting nowhere but frustrated. Finally I decided to move on and find a new law firm and when searching I read several reviews of the law firm of Chavez & Valko, LLP explaining how good, fast and professional they are. I consulted Mr. Valko and he was honest about my odds and explain to me how he will proceed if I were to hire his services. I did, and it was the best decision I made. Mr. Valko and his team are very professional, detailed and diligent. At all times I was extremely confident of their knowledge and work. Communication was always a priority; whether was over the phone or emails and visits. Although my case was difficult, at no moment Mr. Valko and his team refuse to work in my case, gave up or took it lightly. It is because of their detailed and professional work that I was granted the much needed J-1 waiver and couldn’t be happier. I completely recommend the law firm of Chavez & Valko, LLP because they will do their up most for you.

I had an excellent experience using Martin Valko as my lawyer for my green card based on employment (EB-3). He was very clear from the beginning regarding all the posible solutions and also complications for my case. The firm kept me informed all the time regarding my case. Martin is very knowledg...eable on what he does and I will recommend him to anybody and I will use him again if I needed to.

Martin Valko is an angle for my family. My husband got his deportation 2 years back in december just before christmas i think it was the 18th or 19th. Think about it. A deportation letter just before christmas :-( . It looked liked some one had pulled off our lives from us. We had no whwre to go at a...ll. Before this happened another attorney was handling my case. My husband entered the USA from Canada and that lawyer assured me that his case would be setteled and he will sure get a GREEN CARD. Well it did not happen that way. I was dealing with him for almost 2 years and paid all his fees as well. When his work permit got issiued we were very happy and thought that everything will be fine but that was not the case. #yers back he renewed my husband's work permit and as soon as we got it we got a denial letter from the uscis stating that my husband was in a deportation case and he has to leave the country. We were really upset and no where to go at all. When i went to my lawyer instead of helping me he gave up and said he did not take deprotation cases. Think about it.... your lawyer gives up when you need him the most. He gave us the number of another attorney and said to go to him. he did not even realise how upset we were and he was the one responsible for our families future. But all he did was reffering some one else. Our christmas became a nitemare. Think about it with a 5 year old daughter how were we feeling. Luckyly i found Mr Valko on rradio and over the internet. I made an appointment with him the same day and went to his office. As soon as i reached there his staff knowing my situation calmed us down and was very helpfull. As soon as Mr Valko came he made a call to the court just to make sure that my husband's case was still active and you know what we found out ... we found out that my husband's case was not yet decided and we can fight over it. Mr Valko navigated me thorugh the process and told me that he will renew my husband's work permit again with no extra fees to the uscis and he did so. That was the 1st achivement he made towrd's our case. "He also told me that he will fight my case with honestly and dignity and so he did. My husband's work permit was renewed with no problems. Then we again appealed for his green card. The uscis called us for the interview and they were with us there all the time. and finally 2 yers back my husband's green card was approves and now we are safe and happy here in the USA. One thing i want everybody to know. " Martin Valko and his team was always there for me. Whenever we needed him he was there personally and helped me in all the prceddings. I cannot explain how wonderfull he is and how gratefull we are that we found him. HE is the one who's hard work and honesty is a firm result that we are present today in the USA. I am very very very thankfull to you sir for reuniting my family. I pray that may God bless you with his best blessings and you be successfull in your life. You are an angle for me and my family. I will definetly recommend you to everybody who is facing hardships in their immigration matter. Once again thank you very very much from the bottom of my heart !!!

Mr. Valko and his firm were tremendous throughout the entire handling and filing of the H1B Visa case involving one of our faculty members. Communication was always professional and timely - in fact, there was never a time throughout the entire process that we were unaware of exactly what was happeni...ng and what we should be expecting. Needless to say, the HB1 Visa was approved and our school was able to continue employing one of our most popular faculty members. I strongly recommend Martin Valko and his firm to handle any immigration needs that you may have. Honest, prompt, and professional - characteristics hard to find in any organization!
