Exceptional Attorney!

I ‘am very thankful for all the services that Mr. Gerardo Menchaca and his staff has provided for me and my family. From the start they have been really nice to us and what i liked the most he makes things clear to understand. He was always on top of my case letting me know everything that was going ...on and making things as simple as possible. I highly recommend attorney Gerardo Menchaca for any services that anyone might need him and his staff are really the best, and I couldn’t be happier with their services.

Excellent service

This Attorney is very good. Since we came in we were greeted very nicely by the office staff, they made us feel right at home. The communication between the firm and us was very efficient due to the fact that we do not live in San Antonio but yet we were able to communicate as if I was in front of hi...m (which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of). Mr. Gerardo Menchaca explained the whole process with a lot of detail (the times and dates he told us were right on the spot). Highly Recommended.

Awesome Immigration Attorney!!

Gerardo made the whole immigration process so smooth, easy and FAST! Basically all my husband and I had to do was show up to the appointments and get him the paper work they requested. He always let me know of ANY updates and called me from time to time to see how we were doing. NEVER ONCE did my old... lawyer call me, I felt like I was just a number. But Gerardo made me feel like a PERSON and he seemed to genuinely care about my case and really wanted the best outcome for us. He is very knowlegable and explains everything clearly. I will definetly use him in the future and recomend him to anyone I know that needs legal help. Thank you so much Gerardo!! You have been a blessing to my family.

Outstanding immigration attorney

I hired attorney Gerardo Menchaca to assist me and my family on an immigration case. I was very impressed with his professionalism and willingness to assist. Before hiring Mr. Menchaca I met with other attorneys but decided to hire him because he was very genuine and took the time to explain the pro...cess to me in detail. Mr. Menchaca was very accessible and easy to talk to and his fee was very reasonable. He always returns phone calls and replies to emails in a timely manner. Overall, he is a great attorney and I recommend Mr. Menchaca without hesitation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
