Great and professional job Mr Vega, Thank you.

Mr Vega did take care mi case that it seems to be complicated. He charged me a fare fees, he always was prompt to respond my calls or making his assistance to do so. Frame time matters, excellent. Great inter locution in Spanish and English. I highly recommend him. Octavio.

Poor Ethics

I hired this lawyers services because he had been recommended. He has acted unprofessionally, filing for status that he knew was going to be denied in my case just to get the rest of his fees and has not had the decency to engage in any kind of communication with me since then. I did hire his service...s and paid him $3500, plus document fees, including parking fees which can take hours only to not see or speak to him at all except when he wants you to pay him. I've tried to contact him by phone and e-mail but the only thing I've received is the run-around. Needless to say my phone calls are not picked up unless I call from an unknown number. He advertises on his website "REPRESENTATION WITH HONESTY, PROFESSIONALISM, TRANSPARENCY, AND COMMUNICATION" which in my experience with him and as I have read and heard from people waiting in his office have yet to receive from him. I myself do not believe he should be able to do this to hard working people who struggle to obtain and save this money to pay for his services when he is not doing what we pay for. I agree that there has to be something that can be done by abiding to the law that protects us as clients.

Please provide me with your name and the case you are referring to so that I can verify whether or not you are an actual client and whether or not your claims are truthful. If you are my client I would like to contact you to try to resolve any differences that you may have with me. Sincerely, Jose Vega

BAD LAWYER BEWARE

He will meet you in person on the first appointment and he will take your money. And that is about the last time you will see him.... They do not give you the status about your case. Their secretary's are so RUDE they don't know how to treat people correctly. They say that they will take your messag...e and will give it to the lawyer and he will call you right back. How bunch of B.S. !!! This lawyer took $3000.00 from us just to have my family member in jail for 6 months!!! And Mr. Vega promised to get my relative out but he got DEPORTED!I! Worst part is he NEVER CALLED ME OR HAS CONTACTED ME to let me know that my in law got DEPORTED.. my in law called me from MEXICO... I truly dont understand how this guy Mr. Vega can call himself a lawyer!!

Exceptional Immigration Attorney

Mr. Vega is an exceptional attorney. He worked with me on my husband's immigration case for six months. I communicated with him daily. He always returned my email or phone call within a very short period of time and always knew how to answer my questions. He helped us to win our case and have my ...husband released from an immigration detention center. Not only is he an excellent attorney, but his prices are also more than reasonable for the services he provides. I would recommend him to anyone in Texas that has an immigration case pending.
