THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU !

I don't even know where to begin to express my gratitude to Delia and the Salvatierra law group. Delia fought tooth and nail for my green card when I hired her to represent me on my case which under the previous lawyer it became an even bigger mess. When it came time to prepare my documents to apply ...for naturalization she was always available whenever I needed advice and always made me feel supported of every decision I took on my case. I told Delia I'd like to wait to submit my application for X reason and she said to me " Let us know when you'd like us to submit the application and we will do it" she reassured me that everything was going to be okay and I trusted her. She's an amazing lawyer who will fight for you, she's so knowledgeable in immigration law that you know you're in good hands. Delia thank you so much for helping me achieve Citizenship, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's all thanks to you. I will be forever grateful that you were placed in my path.

Delia Salvatierra

My wife and I wanted to take a moment and let people know what a great job the Salvatierra Law Group did for our daughter-in-law. Our daughter-in-law is a "Dreamer" who was brought to the U.S. by her parents at a young age. Delia and her staff helped her get her deferment and eventually permanent res...idency. Delia and her staff are very caring people who are knowledgeable, professional, and will take the time to answer questions and explain every part of the process. They were great in the courtroom and seemed to be able to get great repoire with the various judges and attorneys they worked with. If you are looking for a lawyer who really seems to care about their clients we would recommend you contact them.

I recommend Ms Salvatierra

I happily recommend Ms Salvatierra because she handled my family's immigration case so well that I am convinced of her expertise. She is also an excellent, polite, considerate, sympathetic and nice human being. My family's case was full of challenges. We retained her services in 2013 to bring my wife..., daughter and two sons to US as the family of US resident (Green Card holder). My daughter was close to be age barred but we consider ourselves so lucky that on a friend's recommendation we chose her. We are so satisfied and delighted that she very sympathetically guided us through each step. We signed all documents that she provided us and returned in shortest possible time and she processed everything faster than we could think. She was always accessible and read at least 100 emails that I wrote to her, attended to every single detail, spoke with me more than 25 times, always heard me and my concerns/fears sympathetically. She solved all problems related to our case without failing and worked closely with us like a family member. She is an outstanding leader, she employed her team highly effectively and I found her team motivated to help us without exception. She worked for us for over two years and she was always considerate and helpful. before our final interview she held a teleconference with my family and explained all probable questions and recommended answers, devised strategy and even gave us appropriate words. And yes she is very influential knowing when to use which reference - at one stage when immigration office was not attending our need she approached a senator to expedite our case. All my family members have the immigrant visa now just because she handled our case exhibiting her expertise and experience. One more thing I would like to add that in terms of her fee she is highly considerate as she always gave her discounts making her reasonable fee even affordable. My family likes her a lot and consider her like a family member. I have high recommendations for simple and complicated immigration cases. Whenever any of my family or friends need a lawyer I would happily and confidently recommend her name. We wish her success and God's blessing

Highly Recommended!!!

Mrs. Salvatierra has been an exceptional lawyer in regards to my husband's immigration case. She has exceeded my expectations and gone over and beyond anything I have ever requested from her. The response time is without a doubt exceptional, this is something I value greatly. She truly understands th...e immigration process, is incredibly knowledgeable, and dedicated to her career. I had a previous lawyer and even from my first consultation with Mrs. Salvatierra, I noticed the difference in attitude, knowledge, and expertise. Our previous lawyer of 4 years pretty much "dumped" our case when we came across barriers (mostly due to his lack of preparation and neglect ). He even sent us a certified letter to not contact his firm! Needless to say I was devestated and fearful to hire another lawyer. I'm happy to say I have had the best service from Mrs. Salvatierra!! She has done everything from calling me on weekends to go over our case to just calling me to see how we are holding up. I couldn't even get my previous lawyer to sit in the same room as me, much less answer an email. All though the process has been a struggle and a heartache for my family, Mrs. Salvatierra has done everything to make the process as easy as possible. Mrs. Salvatierra is honest, reliable, caring, and most importantly passionate about helping people. I would highly recommend her law firm.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Amazing lawyer who I would trust on even the most complex cases. Delia is the go to guru in the Phoenix community on immigration cases and has provided invaluable support to myself and other attorneys in the Phoenix area. She is a respected attorney who I refer cases to because I know she will treat clients with respect and give them honest, truthful answers about their cases. In addition to being an amazing lawyer she is very involved in the community and fights tirelessly to defend immigrants not only in criminal and immigration courts but also through advocacy with high ranking government officials. I have personally seen Delia's briefs she submits to the court and can attest to the large amount of time she puts into each and everyone of her cases. While other attorneys may submit one or two documents for a case, Delia writes lengthy briefs describing not only complicated legal principles, but also humanizing her client. I highly recommend Delia Salvatierra."
