Trustworthy experience

Elizabeth Mendoza is my immigration lawyer/adviser since 2005; Elizabeth assisted me in a USCIS accusation of fraud for my asylum case (2005), permanent resident (2006) and citizen (2010) applications; also, Elizabeth management my sons (2007) and my wife (2011) resident cases. Elizabeth always show...n a professional and ethical conduct, understanding my needs and situation, and became preferred advisor in immigration matters.

Best decision

Mrs. Mendoza has been my family's lawyer for about six years now, and we are more than grateful for all of her help. She helped my dad obtain his residency, and helped me with my DACA process. Her work ethic is inspiring, and what we admire the most about her is her honesty. Though the truth was some...times not what we wanted to hear, she told us the truth nonetheless. We have had our fair share of dishonest lawyers who have made it their mission to scam us, but Mrs. Mendoza is by far one the best lawyers we have had the privilege to know. All of our paperwork was filed in a timely manner, and there were never any discrepancies. Mrs. Mendoza is always there when we need to her to answer questions or concerns. I have recommended her to several of my friends and they have not been disappointed. She is a great woman, a magnificent person, and an outstanding lawyer.

Very helpful and knowledgeable

Attorney Mendoza represented my family in a very complicated waiver and residency case for my husband. He had a criminal record we were afraid would prevent him from getting a green card. We were recommended to her by family friends who were former clients of hers and we were told she is honest. She ...explained the case process to us, gave us copies of everything, always returned our calls or met with us in her office, and she won my husband's waiver and now he is a permanent resident. We highly recommend her. And I am not sure about the other reviewer's info but her office is at the address listed.
