He Is An Angle... 100% Recommended

Martin Valko is an angle for my family. My husband got his deportation 2 years back in december just before christmas i think it was the 18th or 19th. Think about it. A deportation letter just before christmas :-( . It looked liked some one had pulled off our lives from us. We had no whwre to go at a...ll. Before this happened another attorney was handling my case. My husband entered the USA from Canada and that lawyer assured me that his case would be setteled and he will sure get a GREEN CARD. Well it did not happen that way. I was dealing with him for almost 2 years and paid all his fees as well. When his work permit got issiued we were very happy and thought that everything will be fine but that was not the case. #yers back he renewed my husband's work permit and as soon as we got it we got a denial letter from the uscis stating that my husband was in a deportation case and he has to leave the country. We were really upset and no where to go at all. When i went to my lawyer instead of helping me he gave up and said he did not take deprotation cases. Think about it.... your lawyer gives up when you need him the most. He gave us the number of another attorney and said to go to him. he did not even realise how upset we were and he was the one responsible for our families future. But all he did was reffering some one else. Our christmas became a nitemare. Think about it with a 5 year old daughter how were we feeling. Luckyly i found Mr Valko on rradio and over the internet. I made an appointment with him the same day and went to his office. As soon as i reached there his staff knowing my situation calmed us down and was very helpfull. As soon as Mr Valko came he made a call to the court just to make sure that my husband's case was still active and you know what we found out ... we found out that my husband's case was not yet decided and we can fight over it. Mr Valko navigated me thorugh the process and told me that he will renew my husband's work permit again with no extra fees to the uscis and he did so. That was the 1st achivement he made towrd's our case. "He also told me that he will fight my case with honestly and dignity and so he did. My husband's work permit was renewed with no problems. Then we again appealed for his green card. The uscis called us for the interview and they were with us there all the time. and finally 2 yers back my husband's green card was approves and now we are safe and happy here in the USA. One thing i want everybody to know. " Martin Valko and his team was always there for me. Whenever we needed him he was there personally and helped me in all the prceddings. I cannot explain how wonderfull he is and how gratefull we are that we found him. HE is the one who's hard work and honesty is a firm result that we are present today in the USA. I am very very very thankfull to you sir for reuniting my family. I pray that may God bless you with his best blessings and you be successfull in your life. You are an angle for me and my family. I will definetly recommend you to everybody who is facing hardships in their immigration matter. Once again thank you very very much from the bottom of my heart !!!

DSM Faculty H1B Visa

Mr. Valko and his firm were tremendous throughout the entire handling and filing of the H1B Visa case involving one of our faculty members. Communication was always professional and timely - in fact, there was never a time throughout the entire process that we were unaware of exactly what was happeni...ng and what we should be expecting. Needless to say, the HB1 Visa was approved and our school was able to continue employing one of our most popular faculty members. I strongly recommend Martin Valko and his firm to handle any immigration needs that you may have. Honest, prompt, and professional - characteristics hard to find in any organization!

Knowledgable

I would like to take the opportunity and thank Martin Valko and Chavez & Valko for their assistance with our company's employment-based immigration matters such as FM-3 visas for Mexico, H-1B and I-140 petitions, and PERM labor certification matters which helped us accomplish our objectives. Their kn...owledge of immigration laws and regulations speak volumes about their team and allows us to have peace of mind when dealing with a multi-national workforce. I would recommend any global or domestic company with immigration needs to seek immigration counsel from Chavez & Valko. SPHR, GPHR, GBA, Regional HR Manager

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.
