Citizenship approved

This law firm is excellent. You need not to go anywhere else,they can get the job done for you. Ms. Maria Gonzalez walked me through the process, she was more than helpful. Made sure I was updated about where my case was. I will recommend anyone looking for immigration lawyer to contact them. Thanks ...so much Ms. Maria Gonzalez, I am a happy client.

Thank you for your services on helping my wife to obtain her Resident USA Card, Marco Ibanez was very professional and disipline with his help to reach our goals. I really recommend Gerardo Manchaca Firm for inmigration services. Thank you again.

Disapointing

I had been impressed by the reviews but was quickly disappointed. The receptionist can hardly understand English and could not communicate well in English. The surprising/disappointing thing is that the attorney does not accept undocumented individuals as clients. I’m not surprised that he has been a...ble to successfully navigate the immigration process for clients that are already documented in the United States.

He's awesome!

I highly recommend Mr. Menchaca Being young and knowing nothing about immigration, I was so scared of the process. But he made it super easy for me and helped me to understand each step as we went through the process. With his help I was able to become a resident in a very short amount of time. He &...the staff are very nice &personable. Mr. Menchaca made me feel like a person not just another case.

Great experience with a difficult case !

I had a great experience with attorney Menchaca who helped me with a work visa application. They take you through every step of the process. I had a difficult case but with their help was able to obtain my visa. The attorney and his team were very helpful by assisting in preparing all documents I nee...ded for the interview and attorney Menchaca himself helped me prepare for the interview. With their help I was ready for all the questions the consulate officer had.

I am glad that you found the interview preparation session to be helpful. My goal was to prepare you so that you felt confortable during your Consular interview. Based on your comments, I think you found the preparation helpful. That makes me very happy.

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.
