Prompt and professional

I had an immigration related question that I sent to 3 different El Paso based attorneys. Mr. Jimenez is the only one who promptly and professionally replied to my inquiry.

Permanent residence

The attorney was so helpful throughout the process even thou it was a roller-coaster, he is a good listener and very patient. Spoke to him everytime i had questions, he never directed me to his assistants. Overall, i don't have any regrets hiring him to handle my case. Everyone at the firm were ve...ry helpful too, they worked effortlessly to make it happen.

Caring and professional

My husband and I would highly recommend Gabriel Jimenez for help with immigration issues. He helped my husband through the citizenship process. When looking for a lawyer, I noticed that many lawyers do immigration and something else. The fact that Mr. Jimenez only does immigration made me feel con...fident that he had the expertise and experience necessary. Not only was he confident and professional, but very caring as well. He put us at ease about the whole process. We received excellent service. Mr. Jimenez and his staff were very helpful and responsive. Thank you!

Excellent!

Gabriel Jimenez is a great attorney. When my wife and I came to him to lift her conditional residency he was nothing short of amazing (and extremely helpful). Our experience with him was hassle free. All we had to do was meet with him and provide the requested documentation, and he took care of the r...est. When there was any important correspondence his office was prompt to contact us. Another added benefit that people may take for granted is that once he is working for you, he will provide you reasonable consultations with regards to your current case or future plans at no extra cost. My wife and I are very pleased with Mr. Jimenez and I hope anyone reading will at least call his office and give him a chance,

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.
