First time I talked to Mr.Chavez was about eight years ago, I explained my situation to him and he explained very honestly that I had no way to fix my status at the time and had to wait until my daughter turned 21. Two years ago I went back to him and he started my application process. It was suppose...d to be a straight forward case taking about six to eight months but because of an error in USCIS' record keeping going back over thirty years ago my case took a difficult turn but Mr.Chavez and his staff continued working on my case and finally it was approved . I just want to thank Mr.Chavez and his staff for being honest and straight forward for solving my immigration case.

We do not have words to express our gratitude for all the hard work that was done to over turn my husbands immigration case. From day one when our families lives turned into a nightmare Chavez & Valko were there to guide us. It was a long painful processes but we deposited all of our faith in ou...r lawyers. We worked with them and gave them all the information they needed to make a strong case. First, my husband had to appear in court. He was denied the cancellation of deportation petition. We did not know what to do!! As a family we decided to get a second, third and fourth opinion. I visited many Immigration lawyers with no luck! We then realized we needed nothing else but to continue with Chavez & Valko. My husband asked Mr. Chavez to proceed with the appeal. Mr. Chavez had to apply for cancellation of deportation to the BIA (Board of Immigration Appeals) therefore, he began to prepared the appeal brief to proceeded. By this time, Mr. Chavez was on a deadline to submit the brief. The Chavez & Valko team is very knowledgeable and know exactly how the process works. Mr. Chavez finalized all documents and sent them off......it was the longest four weeks of our lives. I will never forget the day Mr. Chavez called me to let us know that the case had been overturned by the BIA (Board of Immigration Appeals. It was a very happy day for the whole family and all friends that had been there for us during this trying time. We will always be grateful to the Chavez & Valko TEAM. I will always recommend Chavez & Valko as one of the best Immigration firms to my friends, family and my community. A phone call from Chavez & Valko that turned a nightmare to a dream!! Three things you need to get through an immigration process (from experience): 1. Hope 2. Prayer 3. Chavez & Valko

My family and I arrived in the U.S. in 1984 as refuges from Iran. Soon after our arrival, we hired an attorney. After working with him for five years, he was unsuccessful at helping us. Consequently, we hired a new attorney only to face yet another unsuccessful attempt gaining a resident status. Prio...r to working with Mr. Chavez, we went through six attorneys, as our case was extremely complicated. Even though several appeals had been made by our previous attorneys for a motion to reopen our case, they were always denied. We were being forced to do a voluntary deportation. Every year after the September 11th tragedy occurred, the immigration laws became stricter and our lives were impacted even more. Due to our status, we were slowly losing all of our rights. Before September 11, we had no trouble working and never had to check in with immigration but after, our lives were never the same. Due to these newly enforced laws we were under strict ICE supervision. We worked with the Chavez and Valko firm for a few years and through hard work, dedication, determination and devotion to our case, Mr. Chavez was able to reopen our case. At this point Mr. Gary Frost was the attorney handling our case. One thing we can say about Mr. Frost is that he is very diligent and was always the most prepared person in the courtroom. He was ready for anything and was well respected by the judge. Both Mr. Chavez and Mr. Frost were honest and open about everything pertaining to our case. They were thorough in their explanations regarding the steps taken with our case. They are a very organized firm and keep clients posted on every detail of their case. Because Mr. Chavez's perseverance and thanks to Mr. Frost's endless preparation of our case, we were grated our green cards after being in this country for over twenty five years. What separates Mr. Chavez from our past attorney's is that he puts his heart into his work and is compassionate. He cares about his clients and he genuinely desires a happy ending just as much as we did. I recommend the Chavez and Valko Firm to anyone seeking legal residence. Having dealt with several other attorneys I can honestly say that they are the best!

Mr. Nick Chavez was a delight to work with. He has such a caring attitude and made me feel very comfortable about my case. He successfully handled my adjustment of status and most recently my U.S. citizenship. I have never felt the need to go to another immigration attorney since I met Mr. Chavez bec...ause I believe I have found the best immigration attorney in Dallas. Mr. Chavez is knowledgeable, professional and very, very caring. I would recommend him and his law firm to anyone who needs an immigration attorney or lawyer. I also want to mention how helpful and friendly his staff is, especially Daisy at the Fort Worth office. She always greats me with a smile on her face and is very delightful to talk to, not to mention how well she stays on top of your schedule and follows up with your appointments. Way to go, Daisy! I love you guys! Lisabeth M.
