Ajuste de estatus.

Después de consultar con varios abogados..todos me dijeron que en mi caso no podría arreglar por un trámite que no se hizo en su tiempo. Entonces alguien me recomendó al Abogado Salvador Ongaro ...llame y agende una cita sin muchas esperanzas por las respuestas anteriores...llegó el día de la cita y... desde el principio todo el personal del despacho del Abogado Ongaro se portaron de una forma atenta y profesional, después de escuchar mi caso por 10 minutos su respuesta fue..."no veo por qué no puedas arreglar" esas palabras me llenaron de esperanza y al cabo de unos meses ya tenía mi tarjeta de residente. Gracias Abogado Salvador Ongaro y equipo!!

Approved residency.

I have nothing other that good things to express about this law firm. I met with lawyer Salvador when Daca first came available to obtain. I had other cases and i finally became a resident on 12-7-21. His team is excellent they provide a extremely high work ethic, but most of all they make you feel ...safe to know that they know what they are doing. I would truly recommend this law firm.

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.
