The Best

My wife and I hired Sebastian Simon because we had read reviews that he was the best Immigration Lawyer in Houston. We checked prices with other lawyers to make sure that we were getting the best deal and as soon as we consulted with Sebastian we knew that he was the best fit for our case, he is extr...emely knowledgeable in his field, the offices are nice, well maintained and organized and that gave us peace of mind. I recommend him to anyone needing any kind of immigration assistance.

Best Immigration Lawyer in TX!

After meeting with various attorneys, I was lucky to have been referred to Simon Law Group! I had a great experience and appreciate everything this law firm did for me and my case. Him and his staff are very knowledgeable and catered to all of my inquiries. Any time I, or my wife, had a question; ei...ther Alma, legal assistant, or the attorney himself answered it in a timely manner. Genuinely good hard-working individuals that get the job done! My immigration status was a complicated one that I thought could never be fixed, but Attorney Sebastian was able to handle it and I am now a resident!!! Definitely recommend this law firm!

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING.

I'm impressed with the service rendered by the Law office of Sebastian J. Simon. from the initial consultation to the end of my case which by the way was quicker than expected. Mr. Sebastian is knowledgeable, understanding and competent in the matters of immigration and more, he is straight to the po...int and worth every penny. and his secretary Alma Balderas is sweet, very soft spoken, hard working and understanding. Qualities like this are very hard to come by these days. if your are looking for an immigration attorney, I would highly recommend Law office of Sebastian J. Simon for the American Dream you seek.Did I mention I got my green card without interview, SIMPLY OUTSTANDING.

Great Immigration Attorney

Sebastian Jose Simon is an exceptional lawyer. He and his team are professional and knowledgeable. He followed my case through until it was complete. My case took less time than I had expected. My family is extremely happy with the outcome. His prices are fair. The results are worth far more than the... cost of my case. I highly recommend Mr. Simon!
