Proffessional, attentive and trustworthy; would hire again in a heartbeat.

I cannot fault Mr Jimenez's work ethic or practice. From the first time we spoke over the phone for the consultation, to receiving my Green Card, his firm always responded in a timely manner and was reassuringly positive that everything would come together, diminishing my concerns of rejection from t...he intimidating USCIS. Initially we thought the process would be relatively short, but when my original sponsor failed to pull through, panic grew as we struggled to find a replacement who met the correct sponsorship requirements. Mr Jiminez was quick to step in and went out of his way to help us find the right person. He could have easily taken his payment and told us it was our fault that we couldn't find a sponsor in time (which it was), but instead he went above and beyond his job description to ensure we had a successful immigration process. I had a lot of questions concerning the case; many of which most people would find self-evident. But the team always replied promptly and provided reassuring answers, keeping me calm and confident throughout the process. The firm is reliably and thorough, and would be the first people I would suggest to go and see if you wanted a successful immigration case. Thank you Mr Jiminez for being there every step of the way; I am glad and very fortunate to have met you and your team of associates.

Honest and Trustworthy

Choosing Mr. Jimenez was the best decision we ever made. After parting ways with our former lawyer for false promises and mishandling our case, we went to Gabriel a month before our second court date for removal proceedings. Even though it was such a short notice and our case was anything but simple,... he managed to pull through for us. From the beginning he was very straight forward and helped us every step of the way. After looking deep into our case he noticed a things that were crucial to our case and that our previous lawyer(s) had missed. Months later he was able to stop removal proceedings and secure permanent residency for my siblings and I. When you go to Mr. Jimenez expect honesty and hard work from his part, he will not sugar coat the truth and if he takes your case , rest assure he and his great and competent team will do everything within their power to help you. There are many lawyers in El Paso that will sell you false promises, but not Mr. Jimenez, when he takes your case is because he knows he can help.

Best professionals you can find.

When I started looking for an Immigration Lawyer, I got scared and exhausted because the status of my case was “removal proceeding.” I thought this meant that I will be deported and never have a chance to get back to the United States and stay with my lovely husband. I researched the law on this subj...ect and realized that I can receive the best immigration help in TX from the Gabriel Jimenez Law Office. They told me that they only take cases in which they can help you. I contacted them, sent my documentation and had a conversation with Mr. Jimenez. He explained where I stand in my situation and said that he is taking my case. I felt at ease after Mr. Jimenez explained my rights and gave me the assurance of success. During the case, I had professional support from the Office. I live in Atlanta GA, but my Master Hearings was in El Paso, TX. Everything I needed Mr. Jimenez and his staff did for me. I even did not have to attend the Hearings. They are very professional and give 100% to what they do. It was a hard time in my life. Sometimes you just can't help yourself due to the lack of knowledge in a situation to make the right choice. The Immigration Lawyer is like a doctor who can save you and you must pick a professional or you will lose everything. I made the right choice and now I am absolutely happy because Gabriel Jimenez Law Office won my case and my case is now closed. This means that I can stay in the USA with my family. I wrote this review not only because I appreciate everything that Gabriel Jimenez Law Office has done for me, But also because I want to let everybody who needs the immigration help in TX know that the best professionals you can find, works for Gabriel Jimenez Law Office.
