I cannot recommend Mr. Valko enough! He did an excellent job at helping me with my adjustment of status process. He was knowledgeable, professional, quick, responsive, and effective. He worked relentlessly since our very first exchange; he was able to give me his advice, but also listen to my ideas a...nd work with my specific situation. His paralegal was extremely helpful, professional and organized, and helped me make sense of the paperwork needed. the experience can be stressful and overwhelmed, but they went above and beyond to limit that as much as humanly possible. I was approved for residency very swiftly and his assistance at the interview was very beneficial. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again and recommend them to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer! A+++

I was referred to Chavez & Valko after I left my previous lawyer (DC based) because they did not provide me with a satisfactory service or had the experience for my case. I found Chavez & Valko to be very honest lawyers who are an invaluable source of information and support, patient, available all t...he time to answer all my questions and concerns and provided proper legal advice. Their staff not only treated me with respect and dignity but also provided the advice I needed and the right direction to take. I was absolutely amazed by how wonderfully I was treated here. I would like to thank Luka Poulton for his hard work and professional approach.

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 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.

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
