Ms. Zúñiga will put her whole heart into your case

We had the great pleasure of hiring Ms.Zuñiga after my brother heard from other detainees and guards at the South Texas Detention Center that she was the BEST lawyer to represent anyone and that she will always win her cases. We originally had hired a younger attorney that promised it would be fa...irly easy to get a bond for my brother’s case. The younger lawyer, as it turned out be, had no experience in complicated cases and on my brother’s bond hearing, the judge denied his bond. At this point he had been detained for almost 2 months- His case was definitely complicated- He had 2 DWIs pending at that time and illegally overstated in the country, plus he had already being denied a bond. When we first hired Ms. Zúñiga, we knew right away that there was no comparison with the previous lawyer- Ms. Zúñiga’s personality, attention to detail and complete devotion and involvement to the case was obvious from day one - not to mention her outstanding credentials. She asked of every single piece of paperwork and information that would help fight his case once again. She will think outside of the box and be creative to aggressively fight your case to the end- She even thought of getting copies of my brother’s Uber receipts and tremendous amount of money spent on Uber to prove that his second DWI was a simple bad decision to drive on the day he was detained and not a common thing to do. Ms. Zúñiga put a packet together to defend my brother on his last opportunity when he was granted a bond hearing- We knew it was going to be tough and she had mentioned that - she never ever said it would be easy but that she will fight til the end to get him out. And sure enough, her devotion to the case and her huge talent of being creative and knowing what to say and how to lead with your case finally granted him a bond! She was once and for many years on the other side as an Immigration Judge, so trust me she knows exactly what moves the needle and how to defend your loved one. As family to a person being detained, you are in the hands of your attorney and you put all your faith that she will do the best to get your loved one out of detention. Ms. Zúñiga will answer to EVERY single email at any time, ANY DAY. Even when we visited my brother at the detention center, you will always see her there even on weekends! -that’s how devoted she is! Her work ethic and compassion to the case she’s fighting for is admirable. She WILL PUT HER WHOLE HEART and experience into your case to make sure you are reunited with your family. We have no words that could ever express how grateful we are for all that she did for our family. It is truly a nightmare to be in a situation like this- I promise. But she will always see the light at the end of the tunnel and represent your loved one like no one else would.

Hands down the best immigration lawyer!

Bertha is the BEST immigration lawyer I've ever met. During the period I was detained (about 13 months and a half) my family consulted several lawyers and some of them didn't want to take my case, others said that my best option, was to get voluntary departure and fight my case in Mexico, and one o...f them took my case and did NOTHING!!! We wasted time (five months) and money on a lawyer that literally did NOTHING, yet he promised to get me out. My family then hired Bertha, and since the first time I talked to her, she talked with such confidence (something I had never seen or heard from any other lawyer) that I knew she would help me win my case. My husband and family later told me that when they went to see her, they realized she was the right lawyer for my case. The best thing my family did during the time I was detained, was hire her!! I could never thank her enough for giving me my freedom and helping me be with my family again. Now I am a Lawful Permanent Resident of this country thanks to Bertha.....She is truly AMAZING! Thank You Bertha, words will never be enough to thank you, and express to you the gratitude my family and I feel. To any of you who might need a lawyer or know someone who is, look no more, Bertha is the best if the BEST!

Thanks to your Melissa for your patience and understanding how complicated your case was and what steps needed to be taken to obtain the best results ! First we needed to correct your prior lawyer's mistakes which almost led to your deportation. Yes.... from deportation to walking out with your legal permanent resident status was truly an accomplishment.

Getting her to represent me in my case is the best thing that could have happened to me. Thank you for everything Ms. Zuñiga

Ok I know that most of us who use the internet to look for reviews about something would want to know a straight up answer, so I’m going to give it to you without any preamble, then elaborate some more, just in case you’re interested in more details. Bertha A Zuñiga is nothing short of amazing, she i...s so smart and clever, and just the most compassionate and professional attorney. She has shown a genuine interest in helping me with my situation before anything else right from the start. My case was more complicated than the average, she thought of ways to fight my case that no other attorneys had thought of and did everything in her power to get me out of detention and reunite me with my wife and family; this after I was left almost with no hope or other options by another attorney we had hired in the beginning. There is a very important point I want to stress for people that are in a situation where they need an immigration attorney, and that is, do your research and make sure you hire someone with the experience and the right credentials to represent you, that is very important. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to go through something like this, and that is why I strongly recommend that you get yourself or your loved one the right representation. Believe me, there’s no one better than Bertha A Zuñiga. My wife and I are very happy and satisfied with the way she fought for me and I’m forever grateful for what she did for me and my family.

Thank you Miguel for your patience and understanding. I'm sorry that your first lawyer with so little experience was not successful in your case. Your case needed to be prepared meticulously in order to obtain the best result. Your pain was my pain and I had to find a way to save you!!!!

La mejor abogada de inmigración!

Mi familia no pudo haber contratado a una mejor abogada para mi caso. Estuve detenida por casi 13 meses y medio, y ningun abogado me pudo sacar. Nadie nos daba esperanzas, pues mi caso era muy complicado, pero gracias a Bertha todo salió bien. Toda mi espera dentro de una detención valió la pena grac...ias a ella. Todos los abogados me dijeron que era mejor pedir salida voluntaria, y pelear mi caso en Mexico, y el único otro abogado que tomó mi caso no hizo NADA!! Cuando conocí a Bertha supe que era una buena abogada, y que ella me ayudaría a ganar mi caso.... no me equivoque! La mejor decisión que hicimos mientras estuve detenida fue contratarla. Gracias a ella ahora estoy con mi familia, mis palabras jamás serán suficientes para expresar el agradecimiento que sentimos hacía ella. Si usted o alguien que conoce está buscando una buena abogada.. Bertha Zuniga es la MEJOR! No se arrepentirá.

Amazing Lawyer!!

May of 2016 I consulted with Judge Zuniga about my sister. After she was detained by ICE. She was very helpful from the beginning. My sister's case was very particular. But with the right support from Judge Zuniga we were able to gather all the right paper work and my sister was released in just 2 m...onths. I will recommend Judge Zuniga to anyone. She is very professional and amazing to work with. Quick to respond to any of my questions even at the oddest times of the day. Thanks to Judge Zuniga I have my sister back.

Ms. Armstong's sister's immigration case was definitely a challenge. There was a lot of planning, preparation and research to be able to present this case in the best manner possible. As a Judge, I always complimented the attorneys that prepared and documented their cases well. In my professional opinion, if the documentation on the case presented beforehand to the Judge is well-prepared, the Judge sits on the bench with a positive view of the case and there are more favorable results.
