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.

HUSBAND DETAINED BY ICE/ATTORNEY SAME DAY VISIT/BOND GRANTED!!

My husband was arrested for a misdemeanor and while this charge was dismissed, he was detained by ICE as he had an immigration hold. I called Mr. Galaviz one late night and left a voicemail. Quite frankly I was not expecting a call back because it was a little late, but he did called me back within f...ew minutes and not only did he took the time to listen to my distress, he comforted me and reassured me that he would do the very best to bail my husband out so he could be back home. He asked me for a thousand documents to bring with me for an appointment we had scheduled the next morning. After our meeting he went to visit my husband that same day in the afternoon and in less than two weeks Mr. Galaviz got a bond for $5,000.00 and my husband was back home. Because of the excellent, professional, and expeditiously assistance from Mr. Galaviz, my children did not even know their dad had been incarcerated and he was home for the holidays! Since, my husband has applied for a work permit and we are awaiting for a court hearing with the judge. I was highly impressed with this attorney as he is highly skilled in immigration matters, prepared, knowledgeable, thorough, professional, affordable fees, keeps clients informed and involved, always returns calls [even after hours], and most importantly Mr. Galaviz is a unique advocate with a sincere vision to helping the immigrant community. Without any reservation, I would highly recommend him to anybody for their immigration matters.
