Express green card for me and my family!

For over three years I was looking for a lawyer to help me to get my green card in Los Angeles and Dallas, I went to appointments with lawyers even appearing on TV but they said me; your case is difficult I can't help you. When I found Gerardo Menchaca knew they are experts and professionals so that ...hire their services and I was guided to complete the requirements so AMAZINGLY in less than four months I got my green card for me and my family. Thereafter radically change my life and now I can work anywhere without me would reject having no green card. I recommend their services because they work with integrity and professionalism when others do not have a solution they do have a solution and extensive experience. Por mas de 3 años yo estuve buscando un abogado que me ayudara a obtener mi green card en Los Angeles y Dallas, yo fui a citas incluso con abogados que aparecen en TV pero me dijeron tu caso es dificil. Cuando encontre a Gerardo Menchaca supe que son expertos y profesionales de modo que contrate sus servicios y me guiaron a completar los requisitos asi que SORPRENDENTEMENTE en menos de 4 meses obtuve mi green card para mi y mi Familia . A Partir de alli cambio radicalmente mi vida y ahora puedo trabajar donde quiera sin que me rechazen por no tener green card.

Recommend him

My husband and I found him on Google. His staff and Mr.Gerardo Menchaca are great help. Everything was easy and fast, because they knew exactly what we need. The time frame he gave us was very accurate. I highly recommend him and his staff for anyone needing an immigration attorney.

Outstanding Immigration Attorney

Anyone preparing to go through the strenuous process of filing for an immigrant or non-immigrant visa should look to Gerardo Menchaca for EXPERT legal help. He is the pinnacle of a professional and proficient lawyer in the field of immigration law. In my experience, without his legal advice and e...xpertise, my husband would not be with us in America today. My husband, a Turkish Citizen, recently received his green card with work visa, thanks to Gerardo Menchaca and his team. Not only did they provide us with a stress-free experience, but they were most supportive throughout the process. Although the process of filing and applying for a visa took its time, Gerardo and his team were there with us all the way. And, even when the US Embassy in Ankara threw us some curve balls, Gerardo knew exactly what to do and how to handle the legal issues at hand. The end result being that my husband received his K1 and work visa. He is now in America, working and enjoying all the benefits of an American resident. And for this, we are so grateful to Gerardo Menchaca and his team.

Outstanding service!!!

We hired Mr. Gerardo Menchaca after interviewing with two other attorneys. The difference between Mr. Menchaca and the other two attorneys was his personal attention towards my husband and I. He did not make us feel like another case but instead treated us like family. He made sure we understood ever...ything that was required of our case. He explained everything clearly and if needed repeatedly. He keeped us up to date on everyhting. I highly recommeend Mr. Menchaca, you will be in the best hands!!!

I highly recommend this attorney!!!

I highly recommend Mr. Menchaca. He got my green card approved. He made the proccess problem and hassle free, taking care of anything that could come up in the process. He kept me informed at all times about my case and always took my phone calls (when unavailable he returned my call within a few hou...rs). I plan on using Mr. Menchaca in the future and highly recommend him to my family and friends. He and his staff provide excellent customer service.
