Martin Valko from the firm of Chavez & Valko in Dallas Fort Worth, is extremely efficient, knowledgeable and dedicated in the work he performs.

This process can be so overwhelming and a heavy weight on any one’s shoulders, but with Martin’s guidance the process just felt so much lighter. We were never in any doubt regarding Martin’s ability as an immigration lawyer. Furthermore, Martin does not only treat you as yet another customer, but has genuine interest in your case. We will definitely recommend the firm of Chavez & Valko to anyone who is considering expanding their businesses to America and applying for Visas. Martin you have a client for life, we will definitely use your services for our future personal and business visa needs! Thanking you, Monkeynastix Fort Worth.

My wife had petitioned for me to become a resident in January of 2004 with the assistance of a church but I did not get my residence. So in January of 2008 I went to immigration law firm Chavez &Valko for help getting my legalization process moving. Since the first time we came to their office we we...re greeted and well attended. Martin Valko went over the process with me and my wife. He explained that he would do his best to prepare the best waiver packet based on the fact for my appointment in Juarez . They worked with us in getting my case going. I went to my appointment and followed Martin Valko's suggestions in staying clam, answering with the truth to all of the questions. I had to wait two months to go back to my forgiveness appointment. They prepared a wonderful I-601 waiver perdon packet for my appointment and thankfully I got approved. Thanks to Martin Valko and staff I felt confident and prepared for my appointment. I can support my family as a resident.

Their professional work definitely exceeded my expectations!!! I was extremely impressed with how well they prepared my husband’s waiver! I had the good fortune of finding Mr. Valko and his staff in my path when I was so discouraged and overwhelmed with my husband’s immigration process. I was refe...rred to Chavez and Valko through a good friend of mine. After 17 months of waiting my husband’s second visa interview was denied. We had gone with a “notario”, a public notary, who had previously worked for Catholic Charities and assured us that he knew how to fill out the forms and prepare the waiver my husband would need if his visa was denied. However, his work was sloppy, careless and unprofessional; consequently the first waiver was denied. The forms were filled out properly but the waiver was nothing more than a two-page letter I wrote trying to explain why my husband should be allowed re-entry into the United States to be with my children and I and a few other letters from close relatives and a couple of friends. I was surprised to meet with Mr. Valko on the first interview. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Mr. Valko explained to me how little work and effort had been put into my husband’s previous waiver. He immediately began to analyze my situation and took notes about my current circumstances and started to list many factors I could use in my husband’s I-601 waiver in order to prove the extreme hardships required by immigration. He also explained the importance of having a well-prepared waiver in order for it to be approved on the spot. Mr. Valko along with his legal assistant, Cielo Pineda, guided me through the entire process. They gave me a checklist of evidence I needed to collect and guided me in the process of writing my essay in order to explain with detail the different hardships I was undergoing due to the absence of my husband. We communicated back and forth through e-mail, phone calls and meetings. They reviewed all the documents I had and prepared and amazing waiver. I was surprised to see the end result. The waiver was about 3 inches thick and it was put together very professionally. After 4 months of hard work my husband went for his second waiver interview. IT WAS APPROVED ON THE SPOT!!! Mr. Valko called me personally to give me the great news. I could not believe it. After almost two years of waiting I knew my husband was coming home. My children were going to have their dad and we would be a family again. On June 4th 2010, my husband arrived at the Dallas Love Field Airport. Humbly and from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Mr. Valko, Cielo Pineda and all the staff at Chavez and Valko for all the hard work they put into my husband’s waiver. I want to thank them for allowing us the opportunity to be a family again and for bringing their dad back to my children. God bless them and their loved ones. Once again from the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, and thank you! I will always recommend them; they are a very trustworthy law firm.

Mr. Valko is very knowledgeable in all areas of immigration law. He and his staff assisted us every step of the way. They helped us resolve our case in a very short time. We will definitely recommend his services to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, friendly, client oriented attorney who really ca...res about his clients. Thank you so much for helping us start the next chapter in our lives.
