false promise

We went to her because we were referred to her, we had an appointment with her @ 6pm we get to her office and she is not available for us because she was taking care of someone else, we explain to her our situation by the front desk and she said that she didn't think that she could take our case an... other attorney shows up she explains the situation and he said that their could be a chance to do the case, Delia tell us i will call you tomorrow and she did and said that she could take the case. Mind you she didn't charge us for taking care of us the first time we were at her office. The following day she gave me an appointment, but later on the week her office called and changed our appointment, we told her it was very important for her to start the case right away, we had made a deal over the phone that she was going to charge $3,500 and no charge for the consultation fee and that was the reason for that appointment to sign a contract. The day of the appointment Delia tells the front desk girl to charge the $150 consultation fee then she take me in and she tell me that she CAN'T take the case, well if she knew that she wasn't going to take the case why did she charge me and why did she say she would take a case when clearly she new that she wasn't capable to take the case.

Wonderful immigration attorney!

Delia helped me and my wife effectively and quickly handle my wife's detention by ICE (before we were married), then went on to walk us through the process of getting my wife legal residence status. Delia is extremely diligent and detail oriented in everything she does for her clients. Every bit of... paperwork submitted on our behalf was perfect. Delia met with us at key times during the process to explain the status of our case, tell us what she needed us to do, and to prepare us for our interview with ICE. On the day of our interview, she was there with us. Needless to say, everything went smoothly, and my wife actually got her green card much sooner than we had anticipated. We would both give Delia the highest recommendation!

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."
