BEST attorney one can WISH for.

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.

Highly recommended!

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.

Thumbs Up!

I went through my K-1 visa and process of adjustment of status with Martin Valko and his legal team. To say the least, hiring an immigration lawyer was 100% worth it, it saved us from so much stress and headache. More than that, it was extremely important to find a specialist that we could trust and ...rely on. And it's not even a financial matter, it is knowing that going through a process that is very important for us as a family and which we knew nothing about and felt like "blind kittens", there is someone who you can depend on and trust handling it professionally. That's why after having gone through all this I can say that I absolutely do recommend this legal team.

Outstanding Immigration Firm!

Outstanding Immigration Firm! Chavez and Valko has handled several of my H1-B petitions and most recently got my PERM Labor Certification approved. They have done an outstanding job in each of my cases but particularly in my PERM which used experience from my current employer for my new position whi...ch I understand is more difficult than normal PERM process. Mr. Valko and his team did a fantastic job advising my employer on how to handle the case correctly. They responded to an audit in the case from the Department of Labor, and a few months later, my PERM was certified. Also, my employer recently got acquired by a larger firm and that added another layer of difficulty to my case. In summary, Mr. Valko has done an excellent job in each of my cases and I strongly recommend him, the staff and his firm to anybody interested in immigration services. Excelente Firma de Abogados de inmigración! Chavez y Valko ha manejado varias de mis aplicaciones de H1-B y recientemente manejo mi aplicación de Labor Certification PERM. Hicieron un excelente trabajo en todos los casos pero especialmente en mi PERM ya que usaron experiencia adquirida con el empleador solicitando el PERM. Tengo entendido que esto es bastante difícil de realizar. El Sr. Valko y su equipo de trabajo hicieron un excelente trabajo dándonos su mejor opinión y guía. También, el Sr. Valko respondió a una auditoria del Department of Labor y recientemente mi caso fue aprobado. Además, mi compañía acaba de ser adquirida por otra compañía más grande. En conclusión, el Sr. Valko y su equipo hicieron un excelente trabajo y altamente recomiendo sus servicios!

The great attorney

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.
