Martin Valko

I would like go highly recommend the law firm of Chavez & Valko for any immigration matter. Particularly at this time, it is extremely important to be in the hands of experts you can trust. I had no idea who to turn to and from the very first time I called the office to set up the initial appointme...nt, I was treated with great professionalism and a sincere desire to help. I could not have been in better hands. Working with Mr. Valko and his assistant Erika Castro, I felt that I was with experts who took the greatest care to ensure that the petition for my spouse had a successful outcome. Communication was great, they were so thorough in their explanations and always followed through to make sure there were no delays with my case. I will be forever grateful for their help. I am now happily reunited with my spouse. Mr. Valko you are a true professional who displays great integrity and knowledge. Erika Castro, you are a shining star, so dedicated, knowledgeable and prompt. I can't thank both of you enough for your patience and care.

I researched for almost 2 months prior to choosing Martin Valko. I also emailed 2-4 attorneys/companies requesting legal direction and options to my immigration status. I was a spouse of a US citizen and my Temporary Residential Green Card was expiring soon. Martin Valko was the first to reapond ( wi...thin minutes ) and emailed a rather detailed email with all scenarios ahead of me. I never heard back from the other 3 attorneys even after leaving them Voice Messages and messages with their office managers. I was contacted by a Staff Member from Mr Valko's office the following day and had an appointment set up within that same week! During the preliminary meeting, Mr Valko listened carefully and reviewed the pile of paper work I had presented him with. By the time I felt that I had informed him with all the possible details, he started outlining the options and finally recommended the best option based on his experience. I hired him and never regretted it even once. During the whole process, hos Team was utterly professional, continuously responsive and informative, supportive and best of all- they returned my calls within 15 minutes if unavailable at the time. I prefer emails so his Team was continuously emailing and updating me without even requesting an update ( and we all know how devastating this process can be! ). Erika worked closely with me and was superb. I highly recommend Mr Valko and Mr Chavez as they are knowledgeable and experienced. Their Team is also bery thorough and flexible. They will accomodate your schedule, they take their work seriously but they also value and maintain a good service by respecting your time. Today, I am a Permanent Resident of the United States. Needless to say, I owe much more than the Attorney fees to Mr Valko and his Team. If I had to recommend anyone for the Legal Immigrational Services, that would be Mr Valko and Mr Chavez along with their whole expert Team. Thank you again Mr Valko and Company!

I am a developer at a Health and Wellness software company and I needed to file a new H1-B visa. One of my colleagues highly recommended Chavez and Valko LLP for this purpose, and after researching about the firm online the company decided to retain their services. I am greatly pleased to say that... this was a great decision. Mr. Valko and his team, including Ms. Berenice, Ms. Michelle and Ms. Shannon, are not only very knowledgeable but also highly professional. The entire team made sure that my LCA was obtained with a quick turnaround time and my H1-B petition was filed on time. They also made sure that they communicated any inconsistencies, questions, etc. to me very promptly. This ensured a smooth H1-B filing/approval process. I highly recommend Chavez and Valko LLP to other international folks because they are a highly energetic team of people who will go to great lengths to ensure that your immigration issues are addressed in a proper and timely manner.

My experience with Martin Valko was exceptional. I felt very comfortable from his initial communication with me, all the way through my visa extension process. I am a NFL cheerleader and our employment contracts are annual. With an upcoming I-94 expiration and a new contract, Mr. Valko was efficient ...and determined to be within the time frames. He and his team worked through the week with constant phone calls and emails, and completed the paperwork on the Saturday to be filed on time. With his great attention to detail on the application, USCIS approved the application within five business days! I would highly recommend Mr. Valko and his team of professionals.

After almost 10 years in the US immigration process I finally received my US permanent residency (Green Card) in August 2013. This is life changing in so many areas. I work in a mid-management position for a Fortune 500 company in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex area and sometime in the mid-2000s..., my company migrated its immigration legal representatives from a very expensive Washington DC area firm to the much more affordable firm of Chavez & Valko in the DFW area. While there were a few parties involved in my process, the champions have been Martin Valko and his team of Paralegals (including the ever available Shannon) at Chavez & Valko. As anyone who may have gone through the US immigration system can attest, the suspense and uncertainties in the process can be a teeth grinding experience. Throughout my dual intent H1B & PERM process Martin and his team kept me updated, performed timely execution of the series of USCIS document filing and notifications, State Department visa applications, provided me and my family reassurance during USCIS delays, and pretty much held my hands through it all. I am very grateful for their hard work, proactive professionalism, dedication to my personal process, and uncompromising commitment to deliver. I am already gladly recommending the firm of Chavez & Valko to family, friends and anyone else who may have any form of immigration issues whether they are being handled through their corporate/employer sponsorship or personally.
