This Lawyer is Amazing!!!!

My brother was being held in Pearsal for 9 months! The first lawyer from The Garza Law Firm was absolutely useless! Just in for the money and good at blocking phone calls! Bertha Zuniga is truly an angel sent from heaven. When we contacted Mrs. Zuniga for help last minute, she was determined to help... my family out and help my brother come home. She got the job done and I am so happy that she truly understood what we were going through and fought until she won the case. Thank you so much Mrs. Zuniga! From the bottom of my heart I recommend this lawyer to fight for you and your family!!

She is an angel sent my way

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.

Miracle Worker

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.

Do not look any further. Zuniga is the best attorney in this matter!

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.

So thankful to Ms. Zuniga and her staff

Ms. Zuniga is non-stop, 7 day a week working attorney. She made me feel confident from day one that she was the attorney that could make the difference. I had spoken to other attorneys that were willing to drain my bank account but not offering to fight for us. Pretty much they offered to send their ...assistant to the detention facility to speak to my husband and gather the information and then the attorney would show up to court to represent my husband. How impersonal is that, he would never have met my husband himself or ever see where the detainees are forced to live or recognize how they suffer. These people all have a story, a struggle as to why they choose to leave their parents, loved ones, all they have ever known and risk it all for a chance at a better, safer, more meaningful life on a dangerous journey to the USA. The fees were rediculous; instead of feeling like yeah we could win this case, I was thinking of ways to come up with this money. Never going to happen. Well my husband called me with the phone number of Bertha Zuniga. I googled and read about her life, work, and achievements. I found hope and I called her and set up a consultation. It's when I met her and she spoke of her fighting for my husband, and her giving it her all at an attainable price; and she would not charge extra each time she would go out to the detention facility to speak to my husband personally, that I had faith. From then on I felt a sense of comfort and relief that my husband would be coming back home to me and our three daughters. She is amazing and her staff is amazing as well. They answer your calls and return your calls ( staff and Attorney Zuniga). I felt comfortable to reach out to them; I could call Ms. Zuniga even on a Saturday or Sunday and she would answer or call me right back. Well, on the day of his court hearing that prosecutor was tough and pretty great at her job, cause she brought me down to feeling like a whipped puppy. However, I reminded myself that faith was on our side and with Ms. Zuniga we would not fail. She was just as tough in her gracious and sweet way. She never backed down and she won; she knew our case and was so prepared. That was a Friday and I was able to post his bail and he was released on that following Monday. She is still by our side and is now helping us to get his residency. I have so much faith in Ms. Zuniga. If you feel you have a hopeless case or have been to other attorneys and just feel financially beat; you have to reach out to Ms. Zuniga. She truly will make you feel like she is fighting for you as if you were family.
