Review for Hector J. Lopez, a bright, knowledgeable and proactive Attorney at Law, highly specialized in USA-law Immigration

It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Hector J. Lopez, J.D., LL.M., Attorney at Law, based and working in Houston, Texas, USA, who recently handled my case and my husband’s case for an Immigration visa petition to the USA. Mr. Lopez was referred to us with highly praised r...ecommendations by a common liaison, and from our initial contacts, he immediately showed not only promptness and high efficiency in his professional replies and briefings, but also exceeded our expectations in terms of the great command of all details and procedures needed for our petition, inclusive of careful explanations on the sequential steps needed to enable success and expedite the requests at stake. We submitted our case through the process of National Interest Waiver Program (NIW), which is probably one of the most complex cases to handle, for the many verifications that need to take place for the decision-making process by the USA immigration system, which are needed to ensure the quality, prestige and credentials of the applicants. Hector J. Lopez additionally, guided us in the whole process with very pleasant manners, and was very considerate of working with us, which is not always easy, as we are based in Kuwait, an emirati in the Middle East. This proved challenging at times, due to the more than 8h difference at times, and the very few opportunities for personnal, face-to-face encounters. Our petition was approved in a swift timeframe of about 2 months, being officially initiated in June and granted in August 2013, after a preparation period of about 4 to 6 months, fully guided by Lopez. Mr. Lopez notified to us immediately and with a detailed information about the way forward. Even if our case was solid, the advice and guidance of Mr. Lopez proved to be a key element of success, in my opinion. I would not hesitate, and would in fact be very proud to recommend the professional expertise of Mr. Lopez to colleagues, friends and/or family, after this successful experience with his services. It was a pleasure dealing with him at all times, and I would only expect from him the very best in legal advice and services. Sincerely, Maria A.C Consultant at Kuwait Oil Company
