There is no words that can explain how thankful I am to Mr. Martin Valko and his law firm. I was very discourage, hopeless, and without faith after a well known attorney told me to get ready to go to my country because there was nothing he or anyone could do about my imminent deportation. He was my a...ttorney for years and paid him a lot of money with false promises. I searched for a deportation attorney and found Chavez & Valko law firm. I was running out of time because I only had less than a month to leave the country. After meeting with Mr. Valko and Mr. Chavez, they immediately started to review my case. It was obviously an impossible case but I wanted a final opinion since I have two small children from a U.S Citizen which I would had to leave with their dad if left the country. I was frustrated, devastated, very depressed, and hard broken. Also, because of my case was televised I will be killed if left the country. My family was devastated knowing that I was in a very dangerous situation. Thinking I was going to loose my family and my family will loose me. It took a lot of hard and professional work from Mr. Valko, Mr. Chavez, Mr Frost and their paralegal to fight my case. In less than two weeks Mr. Valko was able to hold my deportation. They well prepare my case which contained over 500 pages of documents and evidence which explain why I should stay in the country. I was impressed. I was very happy for the positive decision of an immigration officer. Although the decision was positive I still had to wait for the Judge final decision. I was very scared and nervous but at the same time my faith was back since I knew Mr. Valko and Mr Frost was well prepared and organized to present my case to the judge. I knew my case was a unique and very difficult. January 12, 2012 was the happiest day for my family and me. The judge granted my legal status in the U.S. I was impressed of the decision but I know it was only the constant hard and efficient work of the Mr. Valko, Mr Frost, Eduardo and everyone who work in my unique challenge case. Thank you Mr. Valko for your constant concern and efficiency during the case. I strongly recommend the best attorney law firm in the country Chavez & Valko. Thank You Mr. Valko for your sincerity care and persistent effort to stop my deportation and help grant my legal status in the U.S. Thank you God I found Chavez &Valko law firm I am legally safe in the U.S. If it was not for Mr. Valko expertise and professionalism, I will probably be death now and my kids without a mother. Thank you for your genuine interest in my case. Thank you Mr. Frost for a well preparation for court. Many thanks to Eduardo who always reached for answers and gave me quick responses . Yolanda who is very friendly and attentive. I still cry thinking that I am still here with my children. Thanks to all of you. I will strongly recommend you for the rest of my life. God Bless Chavez & Valko law firm, for their caring, professional dedication , excellent and comprehensive work. Again, I am proud to recommend Chavez & Valko law firm.

We knew we made the right choice from the start!

My wife chose Chavez & Valko LLP based on their high online ratings and customer reviews, which proved to be right on point. From the initial consultation meeting with Mr. Valko, up to our final interview, we were impressed by their personable services and equally so, Mr. Valko himself. We hired the... law firm Chavez & Valko to assist us in my N-400 application, as well as my wife's adjustment of status. In both cases, the attorneys and their staff guided us each step of the way and responded to all our questions quickly and efficiently. They helped make what is usually a pretty stressful process, a truly smooth experience. If there is one instance that really made an impact it was Mr. Valko's ability to help calm my wife's nerves prior to our final interview with immigration. Although she had nothing to worry about, it is human instinct to do so at times, but Mr. Valko calmly talked to her and reassured her that it was all under control. The interview actually turned out to be a very pleasant experience, and my wife was actually the calmest I'd ever seen her. We are extremely grateful for the services provided by the attorneys and everyone at Chavez & Valko and couldn't be happier with how both our cases were handled, ending this experience with a quick, successful outcome.

The best legal mind around!

Words cannot express my gratitude to Mr Valko and the entire team at Chavez & Valko. As far as immigration goes, my case was a unique one that seemed virtually impossible to address. I won the Diversity Visa Lottery and was already in the U.S on a visitor’s visa. After following the necessary r...ules and procedures, as well as determining eligibility, I filed an adjustment of status application to get the green card without any legal representation. Unfortunately for me, after an interview and a 6 month wait, my application to adjust status was denied with only a month and a half left to go before the 2011 green card lottery eligibility period expired. To say all hell broke loose would be an understatement! I was immediately placed in removal/deportation proceedings and advised by 3 other lawyers I consulted that any & all hope was lost! After doing some research on highly recommended lawyers and as a last ditch effort, I made an appointment to see Mr Valko. He was refreshingly honest and candid about my options and how any choices I made would affect my immigration status, especially considering that time was of the essence in my case. My first impression of him was that apart from being well versed in all the legal matters, he was also very refreshingly upfront and honest about everything pertaining to my case. I immediately decided to go with him and his team and followed their expertise and guidance. A paralegal, Jessica, was assigned to my case, she was very efficient and always courteous in addressing all of my concerns and questions. Mr Valko worked extremely fast to ensure I could schedule another interview at the embassy in my home country even before I departed from the U.S. He was able to directly contact the appropriate authorities and gave me updates on any progress being made on my case. In a matter of days, he had an interview scheduled for me at the U.S embassy in my home country. I followed his legal advice and returned home. I was anxious and had many concerns but all along the way, the team at Chavez & Valko were there to check that everything was going smoothly and that my concerns were addressed promptly. They stayed in constant communication with me even while I was abroad. They definitely went above and beyond all expectations. Within 3 weeks of my first meeting with Mr Valko, I went to the interview at the U.S embassy. Within a matter of hours, my green card application was approved and an immigrant visa was placed in my passport ready for collection the very next day!! Needless to say, Mr Valko, Jessica, and everyone I worked with at Chavez & Valko have my undying gratitude! Their entire team, from the receptionist to Mr Valko himself, not only addressed the legal side of my concerns but they were also kind and treated me humanely and were always available. They were all professional, very knowledgeable and answered all my questions, some even before I asked them! I am forever indebted to Mr Valko and his team. If ever you need a lawyer with unsurpassed expertise and compassion, this firm is where you need to go. They can handle even the most difficult or unusual cases and I highly recommend them. A special thank you to Mr Valko and Jessica, they are quite simply the very best!!

Excellent job!

Thanks to Mr. Valko and his staff, we are now green card holders! First they successfully led us (myself and 2 dependents) through the L-1A process and later through EB-1. In both of these procedures they answered all our questions in a very prompt and knowledgeable manner, while explaining the... complicated government requirements and legal jargon to us. I appreciated the clear fee structure with no hidden costs. At one point we were under time pressure because of deadlines and Mr. Valko and his staff were able to speed things up for us on their end without any extra charges. 100% professional, polite and engaged. I definitely recommend them for any immigration issue!
