An amazing, gratifying and personalized experience!

My experience with Mrs. Mendoza couldn't have been any better. She has been my lawyer for a little over a year now taking care of my immigration case and, finally, getting it done and finalized a little over a week ago. What I find most inspiring and trustworthy is how taken care of she actually mad...e me feel throughout the entire process. She made it about me, my needs, my questions, my concerns. She was dedicated, quick to respond, friendly, professional, amicable. She made everything so easy, so understandable, and absolutely did not care if I had 1 or 27 questions. She would be there for me at all times. I could NEVER express with words how grateful I am for having her as my lawyer. She is without a doubt the very best.

I Highly Recommend

I have found Mrs. Mendoza to be very transparent, trustworthy, competent and an extremely knowledgeable immigration lawyer. My wife and I were told exactly what to expect and what was required to successfully navigate all of the nuances of the US immigration process. One of the things I extremely adm...ired about Mr. Mendoza and her office was that she always stressed on speaking the truth and the truth alone. I have no qualms to recommend Mrs. Mendoza to friends and family, and can't begin to say how gratifying it was to have her as my immigration lawyer.

Professional, Thorough, Successful Outcome

Mrs. Mendoza was extremely valuable in our process to immigrate my husband in to the US. Her vast knowledge of the laws and intricacies of the whole process and peoples involved was so worth the price. Everything was explained to us up front, and all promises were kept along the way. The supportin...g documents we had to collect were numerous, and other details seemed picky, but all this advice we followed and in the end our case was approved by the USCIS quickly and easily without any question. I always recommend her practice to anyone I know in a similar situation, there's no reason to go it alone.

An Amazing lawyer

I was a client of Ms Mendoza for 3 years. Although my asylum case was pending in court almost for 3 years for technical issues, I am very satisfied with me experience with her. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, scrupulous in her work, and always kept me informed about the any update even if it is in...significant. At the personal level, she is a very nice person, kind and considerate, she treated me as a friend not as a client and she is always there when I needed her. I have went through a very difficult time as my case was pending for 3 years, but she was always there supporting and advising me. Whenever I need an appointment I just call her office and arrange for it very easily. My court hearing was less than 20 minutes and the prosecutor even didn't ask more than few questions. Ms Mendoza presented my case excellently and she prepared me very well and I was very confident at the court, and I won my case! I also want to mention that Ms Mendoza always goes the extra mile to help, she advised and helped me with other legal issues not included in my contract, she even counseled one of my friend with his immigration case. I highly recommend Ms Mendoza - and I actually did to one of my friends- without any reservation.
