Martin Valko

“We are very grateful to immigration law firm of Chavez & Valko, LLP and for Martin Valko’s solid and persistent effort and representation on our behalf over the last couple of years in correcting my wife’s immigration status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. We genuinel...y thought that our case was too daunting a challenge and insurmountable when looking ahead to navigating the important, yet intimidating, Immigration and Naturalization process present here in the United States . When we consulted with Mr. Valko in the beginning, we presented him with an 8-year old Legacy case from a different jurisdiction with plentiful uncertainty. He analyzed my wife’s immigration status and her situation after she was ordered deported in absentia, and without any guarantee of success of outcome, he agreed to take on the challenge of bringing our case up to current and lawful status. During the two-year progression and through the entire legal process - reopening the previous removal proceeding, transferring venue, securing a joint motion to terminate removal proceedings, and adjusting my wife’s status with the USCIS – Mr. Valko remained positive and confident in his abilities to navigate us through the challenges. He continuously encouraged us to remain positive and strong, even through the most difficult challenges, and he proved time and time again that his advice was truthful and correct. We have come to know and admire his truthfulness, sincerity, understanding and compassion. He is exceptional at who he is personally and at what he does professionally. We appreciate the Firm’s professional knowledge and skills greatly, and we definitely extend a strong recommendation of their services to anyone seeking professional legal immigration assistance,” - Jeffery and Natalia C., Dallas

I had the pleasure of working with the immigration law firm of Chavez and Valko last year for my H-1B specialty occupation work visa petition. The attorney’s and his staff’s attention to detail and quick communication turnaround was exemplary. I wish all attorneys’ services were this good (not just i...mmigration). This is especially pertinent because for someone like me – a client with minimal awareness of quickly changing immigration regulations and laws, it’s tough to keep up while staying on top of my full time job. I had some follow up queries many months after completion of my service obligation with them, and Mr. Valko personally replied on the same day I had emailed him – I really appreciated his excellent comprehensive reply and so will you. They are the specialists who know what they are doing, and I was very thankful for my company (a Fortune 500 company) to choose Chavez & Valko to represent me and the company itself. I would highly recommend immigration lawyers from Chavez & Valko, LLP to anyone looking for their immigration service solution.

We wish to thank Martin Valko from the Chavez & Valko LLP Immigration Law Firm. They were 100% professional and handled our case with seamless ease. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending this law firm to anyone. We would especially like to thank the paralegal, Anya Schendeler,... who handled our case, for her kind and courteous demeanor at all times. All of the staff that we encountered at the firm are completely competent and professional at all times ... Thank you guys for a wonderful service.

“We would like to say Thanks to Dallas immigration law firm of Chavez & Valko and their paralegals for going the extra mile in getting our documents accurately prepared. Because of their hard work and dedication, I was able to become a Permanent Resident of the United States in less that a year. I we...nt home ( Jamaica ) in July and I was so happy to see all my friends and families. Martin Valko is a great Lawyer and we will recommend his service to anyone, who needs help with Immigration matters. We will be filing for our son in the near future. They have done an awesome job for us!"

"Our L visa case history: After a very bad experience with our previous New York-based immigration attorney, we started looking for another one with experience in the immigration sector. We scheduled a meeting with Dallas immigration lawyer Mr. Martin Valko of Chavez & Valko, and asked him what h...e thought about our case. In April 2008 we received our L- 1A Visa (L2 for the family) to establish a new office of our German Software Company in the US. Unfortunately we were not able to leave Germany before October 2008. In December 2008 we asked our prior attorney to apply for the extension of the Visa. He filed the application for the extension of the L1-A Visa in April 2009 (5 months later). Instead of answering the INS request for evidence (RFE), he tried to change the Visa application from L1-A into a L1-B. The US immigration denied the petition because we were not able to change the status for a filed petition. To do so, we would have had to file a new one. However, not worst enough, he told us not to leave the US and to stay during he was filing a petition for a B1 Visa to gain additional time to prepare a new L1-A application. Mr. Martin Valko took on our case. He told us that it will be difficult but he would try to rescue the case, thoroughly explained the case to us after his analysis of the immigration laws and regulations, and promised us to do the best. After he had all our paperwork, he and his legal team needed only a few days to prepare the new L1-A petition (L-2 for the family). We used the premium processing service of the USCIS, and we had our approval after less than one week!!! We then scheduled a visa appointment at the US Consulate in Berlin, Germany the following week, and our new L-1A and L-2 visas have been granted for a full one year! When searching for a good immigration attorney, you will find thousands of attorneys and all of them promise to be the best and to do the best work. After all this experience we can tell, that there are only a few really good immigration attorney out there and it is hard to find them. We found one of them and are proud of this work, and we can't thank him enough. Mr. Martin Valko knows what he is talking about! He has a lot of experience in immigration law and his rates are absolutely fair. For all of those people in need of an immigration attorney, we recommend the law firm of Chavez & Valko in Dallas, TX." - Provox Systems, Dallas, TX
