Bertha Alicia Zuniga

I had no idea where to start when my husband was detained by immigration. I contacted an attorney in our hometown, Waco, and the only name she gave me was Bertha Zuniga. I quickly figured out that this was the only name I needed. I contacted Bertha's office and gave them our information. Bertha, hers...elf, contacted me very quickly and visited my husband promptly. He was detained on Thursday and Monday morning we hired her as our attorney. She did everything she said she would and she did it quickly. I could always get a hold of her for any questions I might have and she communicated with me every step of the way. I highly recommend her and believe she is the best immigration attorney out there. Even the guards in the detention center assured my husband he had nothing to worry about with Bertha in his corner. They were right, she had him out in 48 days and back with his family! We are forever greatful for all Bertha did for us and feel extremely blessed that we found her!!

My only regret was not hiring Mrs. Zuniga sooner! Our first lawyer gave us no hope and basically said it was a difficult case and little to do for him. Made us feel like every attorney would say the same. Kept taking our money and ran. Garza law firm would not answer our questions we had and needed t...o know about the case and paperwork. After 9 months when we fired the first attorney, Mrs. Zuniga fought hard with my husband's case and was persistent on his court date and in less than 2 weeks he was out. She is an amazing lawyer, persistent , knowledgeable, and determined. She let us know everything she was doing step by step with his case.

I had heard from Mrs. Bertha Zuniga while I was detained. My family also heard great things about her like “she’s the best lawyer in town ”. I was on my way to Mexico my previous lawyer informed me he couldn’t do much more for me. We hired Mrs. Zuniga she interviewed me quick and I must add she never... gave me false hopes she worked so hard on my case she plans everything very well and professional. When she represented me she was able to get the judge to reconsider. My prayers were answered my faith in god is always strong and with Mrs.Zunigas hard work and dedication And experience I am able to stay here with my family . I am so grateful to her. I have referred her to my friends I will refer her to anyone looking for a very talented lawyer that loves her job. She was really like an angel sent to my life. Being in that place is not easy but in any situation I try to learn what I can. I am very happy to know that in this world we still have people like her that fights hard for our rights. Thank you so much Mrs. Bertha Zuniga for my freedom and for fighting for me so I can continue to enjoy my daughter and my sons and wife.

We initially hired a different immigration attorney for my husband’s case who fed us false hopes and promises. We decided to consider hiring a different attorney due to many inconsistencies with our first attorney. My husband, who was detained at the South Texas Detention Complex at the time, heard m...any good things about Bertha Zuniga and suggested that we look into hiring her. I spoke with her on multiple occasions before hiring her and was amazed at the fact that she gave me advice and guidance before we even paid her or officially hired her. After Ms. Zuniga took on my husband’s case, she got right to work gathering all the necessary information to be fully prepared for his case. There was a noticeable difference between our previous attorney and Ms. Zuniga. She was very clear and upfront about what our expectations should be and what she needed from us to help her. I was always very confident in the information she gave us and was impressed by the way that she represented my husband at every single one of his hearings. It was also very helpful that she would communicate with us a majority of the time instead of through assistants or receptionists. Despite the difficulties in his case due to a criminal conviction and mistakes made by our previous lawyer, Ms. Zuniga fought for my husband every step of the way. She knows exactly what she is doing, what information she needs and what process she should take to make sure that your case has the best possible outcome. She puts a lot of time and effort into every case that she takes. Thanks to all of her hard work and effort, she was able to have my husband released from detention with legal status in time for him to spend Christmas with our family. We cannot put into words the gratitude that we feel toward Ms. Zuniga. I would 100% recommend Bertha to anyone looking for an immigration attorney. She fights hard for all her clients as if they were family and has the experience and knowledge to ensure that you have the best chance possible in your case.

My brother was arrested April 3rd, 2017. I paid the bond at the county jail where he was arrested however, because there was an immigration hold, he wasn’t able to be released. They transferred him from the county jail to the South Texas Detention Complex in Pearsall in less than a week after I had ...paid the bond. Everything happened so fast. In act of desperation, I consulted and hired the 1st immigration attorney I encountered to represent my brother. I wish I would’ve done more research on the lawyer. He seemed trustworthy and he didn’t charge “an arm and a leg” for the case so I went ahead with him. Unfortunately, for about two months, this attorney did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for my brother. He was unprepared and rescheduled my brother’s court date twice to buy him some more time. He even told me that he had contacted my brother’s employer for a letter of recommendation however, I caught him in a lie. I called his employer and he told me that he hadn’t been contacted, NOT EVEN ONCE, by my brother’s attorney and at that time that attorney had already been on the case for 2 months. I took the attorney off the case immediately. My brother was discouraged and depressed so then, he mentioned to me about attorney Bertha Zuniga as an option. He found out that she was the best immigration attorney by word of mouth in the detention complex. He told me that she currently represented many detainees there and did whatever it took to get them out. Also, he told me about countless stories of detainees that were successfully released under Bertha’s representation even if the detainees had all the odds against them. On Monday June 5th, I made a decision to hire attorney Zuniga after reading her endless positive reviews and attorney recommendations on the AVVO website. Attorney Zuniga began working on the case immediately. Even before I hired her, she had already done some research. Zuniga’s contract services for the case were definitely more expensive than the first attorney however, every dollar was worth it to gain my brother’s release. Zuniga worked relentlessly to get a pardon for two crimes of moral turpitude that my brother had committed in the past so that he wouldn’t get deported to Mexico. She worked diligently to gather all the evidence and come up with a good case for my brother. Originally, my brother’s court date was set on August 17th however, she convinced the judge to move it up earlier to August 10th. Attorney Zuniga understands the importance of getting a family member back to their family and incorporated back into the community. This is her priority. It took less than 2 & 1/2 months from the day I consulted with her to the day my brother was released. It would’ve probably taken less however, there was a week that I had to leave the country and she was unable to get more information from me. On Thursday August 10th, on my brother’s final court hearing, the judge granted a pardon and cancellation for deportation. My brother gets to stay here in the U.S and remain a Texas resident! He can continue to pursue his American Dream. Thank you God for putting Attorney Zuniga in our path to help us get our family member back. Ms. Zuniga is very proactive, professional and on top of her game. If she says that she’s 99.9% sure she can win the case, she means it! Do not waste your time, money and energy looking for other attorneys. She’s the best in immigration and has so many years of experience in these types of matters. I have so much faith and trust in this attorney that our family is considering hiring her for other immigration matters concerning other family members. Thank you again Ms. Zuniga for all your help and guidance.
