Especially you from returning AL...L my calls and answering all my questions and concerns just basically holding my hand throughout this entire ordeal. From the Salgado-Sagastume Family --- thank you oh so very much.. continue the hard and bring many more happy faces to all the families looking to be reunited with their loved ones.

Great service.

Reina and Bates did a great job of keeping me informed and up to date about the case! They were a great help, and worked hard to help my family. I would certainly recommended Mr.Reina to anyone who is seeking an immigration lawyer because he helped set the file and paper work up, and talked to my fam...ily and I one on one. The whole staff was extremely helpful and answered any questions we had.

Highly Recommended!

I retained the Law Firm of Reina & Bates to handle my immigration case. I had a very complicated immigration case that involved criminal convictions. I was in order of removal and Mr. Reina and his law firm help me to gain my citizenship through my mother. I would recommend this firm to anyone who ha...s a loved one in a bad situation. Mr. Reina was always on top of everything and was very professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude to Mr. Reina 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. Thank you very much Mr. Reina!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
