Deportation to Citizenship

I can't believe after nearly being deported in 2009 , now I'm days away from being sworn in . I'm indebted to Irene and her team for their legal representation from getting my green card to now being sworn in as a citizen. When you think all hope is lost with your immigration situation , you can bet ...your last dollar on Irene's office working deligently to see you being a proud resident/citizen of the United States. The professionalism and genuine interest in their efforts is unparalleled . To me Irene stands as the best immigration lawyer in Texas hands down. I will recommend her to anyone that's desperate for the best representation on their immigration journey .

From Domestic Violence Victim to US Citizen!

I came to the attorney for an immigration case as I was a victim of domestic violence. The day I came to see the attorney I was very bad, afraid and hurt. The attorney was very comforting with her words and gave me hope. I left her office feeling much better and in higher spirits. She helped me not o...nly with my case but with my self esteem and mentally in my mind. The attorney is not just an attorney but also a counselor, a friend and warrior to fight and help her clients. The attorney put all her professionalism, honesty and efforts into my case. She knows how to speak to and defend her clients. I recommend all woman who are victims of domestic violence to come see the attorney, do not be afraid to come and share your problems with her as she can help you. She will be by your side and walk you through the whole process. After my VAWA was approved she filed for my residency and then 5 years later here I am a citizen of the United. States. I now feel relieved that the past is behind me and I can now begin to live. My heart and my soul is filled with joy.

SAVED ME FROM DEPORTATION!!!

Due to my criminal background I was in immigration detention and removal proceedings, with other attorneys telling me I had no chance at all of staying in the United States. Mrs. Mugambi & associates accepted my case and successfully represented me, stopped removal proceedings and were able to get m...e legally reinstated in the United States in an extremely short time without charging me exorbitant sums of money. Me and my family owe Mrs. Mugambi for our second chance at the American dream.

Adoption and green card denial appeal

Irene was excellent with both cases. Helped us adopt our neice and nephew just before they turned 16 so that we could get them green cards. We filed the green cards on our own and later found out USCIS denied the greencard because they did not understand how Texas adoption law is written. We retained... her services to do the appeal... One month later both kids have greencards in their hand... Amazing results! Only regret is not retaining her to do initial green card paperwork applications.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
