The best lawyer!!!

We started our case in July 2018. And I received my green card yesterday!! (I had interview last week and Alex went with us) We hired him because we did not want to make any mistakes. He was wonderful and made everything easy for us. Thank you Alex!!!!

Very Friendly

Alex was amazing. He made us feel calm and hopeful. If I emailed him with a question he would respond that same day.

N-400 Consultation

During the FREE consultation he asked the right required questions to determine my eligibility. He asked all the right questions that gave me a hint that he is detail oriented and or organized. Also, he seems to be available for his clients I do not foresee the need for that once the case is filed bu...t its always nice to know that someone is there for you if needed . Also, the fact that he is board certified not that I need that high level of expertise for a simple case like mine but gives me peace of mind that he has the stamp of approval and the knowledge. I have retained him will write a review once done with the process so more to come.....

Best Immigration Lawyer

I am very pleased with the service that Atty. Alex Garcia and his staff has provided me. Extremely friendly, they make you feel like family and answered every question. They walked me thorough the whole process. His staff is amazing always there each time I called and answered all my questions. I h...ighly recommend this firm to anyone for their immigration process.

Mr. Garcia exceeded all our expectations!

Best Immigration Attorney in town. Alex is a great attorney. He helped with my wife's green card case. We met with a few other attorneys but none of them explained our case to us with such detail. He knows immigration law and he gives you great advice to make sure you have the best chance at success.... Even his office staff is very professional and helpful. Alex helped to file all the petitions and applications. My wife and I then had to go to an interview at the uscis office, and Alex attended with us. Alex actually met with us a few weeks before and prepared us for the interview. The case was approved on the spot! This attorney knows his stuff with immigration and I highly recommend his services!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
