Chavez & Valko were instrumental in helping me obtain my naturalization in the U.S. Their expertise took the worry and hassle out of what can be a difficult process and made my naturalization process a breeze. Their staff were very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the processes and pro...cedures and I don't think that I could have done it with out them! Much thanks to Chavez & Valko and their team!

We would highly recommend Dallas immigration lawyer Martin Valko to anyone wishing to make their immigration process go more smoothly. When each of us first met Martin Valko both of us felt very comfortable and confident. Mr. Valko was extremely courteous and helpful and displayed exceptional knowled...ge in the field of immigration law. Mr. Valko assisted my wife and me with her I-485 permanent residence case. He communicated with clarity and all of our concerns, however minor, were promptly addressed either by him or his assistant. He provided us with personal support at a time when it was most needed just days before our scheduled interview with the immigration official. It took us a less than a year of filing the paperwork that my wife was granted a residency card. We cannot explain in words how happy we have been since we obtained my wife's permanent residency card. Once again on behalf of both of us thank you for the quick, steadfast, honest, and hard work put into our case resulting in success. With warm regards and God Bless. Mirna & Blas

My immigration case, a J-1 waiver of 2-year home residency requirement, was a peculiar one and therefore difficult. I am a researcher in the field of Nanotechnology and I needed to obtain a J-1 waiver so that I could stay here in the US with my husband and baby and continue my carrier and research wo...rk. I consulted and hired the services of 2 well know or major law firms in Dallas and even consulted a well know law firm in Washington D.C. that specializes in J-1 cases. This was one of the most painful experiences I had to deal with. I couldn’t get a hold to the lawyers assigned to my case (they will not return phone calls or emails); in several occasions I was given incomplete information and at times inaccurate. There was no feedback or answer to my questions but consistent reminders that I would not be able to succeed obtaining a waiver without their experience. The law firm in Washington, eventually refuse to take my case because they considered that my case had a low rate of success. I wasted one valuable year fighting with lawyers, trying to reach them and getting nowhere but frustrated. Finally I decided to move on and find a new law firm and when searching I read several reviews of the law firm of Chavez & Valko, LLP explaining how good, fast and professional they are. I consulted Mr. Valko and he was honest about my odds and explain to me how he will proceed if I were to hire his services. I did, and it was the best decision I made. Mr. Valko and his team are very professional, detailed and diligent. At all times I was extremely confident of their knowledge and work. Communication was always a priority; whether was over the phone or emails and visits. Although my case was difficult, at no moment Mr. Valko and his team refuse to work in my case, gave up or took it lightly. It is because of their detailed and professional work that I was granted the much needed J-1 waiver and couldn’t be happier. I completely recommend the law firm of Chavez & Valko, LLP because they will do their up most for you.

I am a scientist at a reputed medical school in Texas and I needed to transition to a H1B visa. I had considerable delay in receiving my no objection letter from my country and hence was out of status. At this point I had consulted with Mr Valko on my situation. He was very patient and understanding ...and extremely proficient in offering legal advice. Once I did receive the no objection letter from my country he was kind enough to communicate with the administrative personnel in Houston to explain my situation and help speed up my paper work which further helped in my receiving a waiver letter from the state department. This was nothing short of a miracle for me. Mr Valko also was kind enough to communicate with the administrative personnel at my school to offer legal advice and the best strategy on handling my situation so that I could receive an approved H1B visa from USCIS at a timely manner. Thanks to Mr Valko I even did recieve an approved H1B and now I am back at work. It may be a simple situation to people since it was just a trasition to a H1B visa. But for me it has been a life altering experience. Had not Mr Valko helped me out so grealty and handled my case so proficently I would have had to lose my job and give my scientific career that I had worked so hard to build over the past few years. So I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude to Mr Valko for his kind consideration in always being available to answer all my questions and offer suggestions but also in handling my case in a very smart, capable and extremely proficient manner.

I had an excellent experience using Martin Valko as my lawyer for my green card based on employment (EB-3). He was very clear from the beginning regarding all the posible solutions and also complications for my case. The firm kept me informed all the time regarding my case. Martin is very knowledg...eable on what he does and I will recommend him to anybody and I will use him again if I needed to.
