Martin Valko

USA Cricket Association employed Martin Valko and the immigration law firm of Chavez & Valko, LLP on an E-3 visa application as well as other immigration matters. Martin and his team were extremely professional and ensured that the process was seamless. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, efficient and... very responsive attorney who responded to our emails within minutes at times. His team provided guidance on the best manner in which to give the application the best chance of success which was prepared and submitted to a US Consulate, including having the visa interview scheduled all under 14 days, and kept USACA informed of the petition progress. US Cricket is grateful for the efforts of Chavez & Valko, LLP and will use their services again in the future.

I choose Mr. Valko because of his great reviews on avvo.com and surely he lived up to his expectation and more. Mr. Valko helped me with a response to a RFE for adjustment of status questioning whether I was out of status. If we didn’t prevail I would have been required to file a waiver for being out... of status for over one year. The case was complicated but he explained it very well during our consultation and provided all the best options possible. His staff was outstanding in working with me in preparing all the required documents. He is very responsive with his emails. I haven't seen any lawyer respond that quickly to emails ever, and provided my situation what was very helpful. He analyzed my case in great detail and prepared excellent response to the RFE which got approved within a week. On top of that he did it within a very tight schedule to meet the deadline. That clearly shows his level of expertise and professionalism. I am forever grateful for his assistance in my case and am confident will help many more who are lucky enough to have him as their attorney.

I hired Mr. Valko and his firm 2 years ago. My case was not an easy one by any means. It was lengthy and complicated. As luck would have it, a new immigration program was put into place (Parole in Place), and I was able to qualify for it. Being a new procedure, there was not many prior cases to ref...er to, therefore requiring a combination of excellent immigration knowledge and a willingness to do extra legwork on research. Mr. Valko's legal team of immigration attorneys and paralegals spent hours of research and work into my case; keeping me updated throughout the process, and answering my questions and concerns in a very timely manner. Parole in Place is a very new program, and I am happy to have chosen Mr. Valko's firm to lead me through this journey. Thanks to Mr. Valko and his team, my case was a complete success and I am now a happy Permanent Resident. So if you are looking for a lawyer that's as invested in your case as you are, do not hesitate to hire this law firm, Chavez & Valko.

My derivation of US citizenship case was rather unusual and difficult to fight. It involved reopening the government’s previous denial dated a decade ago. My lawyer Martin Valko came to the conclusion that immigration office applied wrong law in my case and decided to challenge their decision. The i...mmigration office took longer than anticipated but thanks for the professionally crafted petition, immigration had no grounds to reject my case or even request additional clarification and procrastination was only tool left for them to reciprocate. This victory reaffirmed my US citizenship, and I can move on with my life. Thanks, Martin!

I am extremely thankful to Martin Valko and his team including his paralegal Shannon Bunch for a great work. I am Russian ballerina and now I finally got an O1 because of their help. Before I hired Martin Valko my immigration process had been the worst experience I ever deal with. The lawyer I had ...worked with wasted the time and spent money. Then, she had dropped my case without even answering my questions. After I started working with Chavez and Valko the whole process became easy, clear and fast. Mr. Valko and Ms. Bunch kept me well informed at all times, they were always available for any questions that came up. During the preparation of my immigration petition I was receiving important professional advices and guidance from Mr. Valko and his team. They are true professionals and very respectful individuals. I highly recommend Chavez and Valko firm for anyone who needs the immigration attorney.
