Houston’s BEST

Immigration proceedings are never something that anyone wants to think about, but when there is a need, Mr. Galaviz and his team are the people to hire! From the initial online contact, Mr. Galaviz personally reached out to me and guided me through the possible outcomes. He gave me real expectations,... and not once made me feel uneasy or discouraged. He was in constant communication with my family and me throughout the entire process, which shows his level of care and love and passion for what he does. His level of knowledge is admirable and 100% recommended. He was able to beat a case that many said was impossible. I will be forever thankful for all his hard work and dedication to keep my family together in a country that is home to us all.

Thank you Abraham!!

Abraham did an Amazing job with my ex husband’s case as he was being detained in Texas for two months. My ex had a past issue that came up while he was flying back from Cabo with our daughter. My sister found Abraham on line sent an email and I was called immediately the following morning. Abraham w...ithout a doubt jumped on this case, was in communication with the family and informed us of updates as to the next steps are. He not once doubted that he could not win the case, he was very professional and clear as to what may happen but fought with us to make sure my ex husband comes home to our daughter and family. I am so grateful for having Abraham front line for us, my ex husband told me there were times when he wanted to give up but Abraham would remind him not to give up, he has a family to go home to. Thank you to Abraham my ex husband is back home as we celebrate his home coming we are thankful for having Abraham on our side and staying strong with us as he would were all fighting for his release on this side of the Bay Area. We truly appreciate Abraham!

Won a difficult immigration case

My husband was detained by immigration at the airport coming from our vacation. He is a permanent resident for a case he had from 2009 and completed, they still detained him. I went to several lawyers and one told me he can help. He took my money and said oh I cant anymore. after consultation with 5 ...different lawyers, they all told me the same thing, we cant help you. one even told me not to look anymore because he will get deported. i mean who wants to hear that when your whole life changed in a second. but thankfully we found mr galaviz. he said i can help, he literally ask me about a million questions about how my husband is. he said we got a good case. when hiring a lawyer, communication is the number one key. you can call, email and text Mr.Galaviz and within minutes he will respond. I remember even on sundays he was visiting my husband at the detention center.Today was our final hearing and WE WON!! I thank God for putting Mr.Galaviz in our path to help us. He knows his stuff and guys any questions you have he will answer no Mather how dumb they are, i mean i think i asked over a million questions after he kept telling me the same answer. He knows what to say to make you feel better and also lets you have a saying in your own case. I dont ever wrote reviews but this time I am. If you really need a lawyee that loves and bleeds law, hiring Mr.Galaviz. Hid prices are reasonable and works with you in any way and again communicates with you. His staff is friendly and there for you too. I not once felt lonely and we knew we had a good lawyer in our side. So again he is THE BEST!!!! P.S sorry for all the mispronunciation but I am on my phone outside the court celebrating the win.

Father was deported

My father was deported about 5 yrs ago, we had already lost hope of him ever having the opportunity to return to the United States legally since this wasn't his first time being deported. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Galaviz, he's a very professional, compassionate, and trustworthy lawyer. When... I explained my father's case to Mr. Galaviz he knew it wouldn't be an easy case but he didn't turn me down. He studied my father's case and informed us that there was a possibility that my father could return to the United States. I held on to that small possibility and confided in Mr. Galaviz's word and work. He put in a lot of time and effort into my father's case, he was able to file a motion to reopen the first case my father had for which he had been deported. I didn't even know that was possible, this showed me Mr. Galaviz is very proficient. He was always honest and told us he couldn't reassure us that it would work, but that he would do what he could. He seemed confident so I had faith that everything would work out. What I thought would take more than 2 years actually only took a year if not less than that. Once my father was back in the United States, we did encounter a few issues with ICE, which Mr. Galaviz had already told us ahead of time that could happen. With time and patience, my father was back home. He won his case and was released without a bond. He is now legally working and back home with his family. None of this would have been possible if it weren't for Mr. Galaviz's hard work and dedication.
