Posted by anonymous | November 24, 2015 | Hired Attorney

He's a life-saver!

We had a our case with an attorney who put us at risk of deportation. That attorney was ultimately disbarred and since then we had gone from one attorney to another only to discover that the case was so damaged no one wanted to help us. Mr. Ongaro took our case and he not only was successful in ...reversing all the damage and halted deportation proceedings, but my wife's work authorization card just arrived in the mail. I can not thank him and his staff enough. Just when we thought all hope was lost he came to our rescue. He truly knows his stuff!

Great lawyer and friendly staff.

I am so glad that a friend referred this law firm to me. Since the moment we sat with Mr. Ongaro to explain my situation he understood my case and had some ideas right away on how to defend me. He was very thorough in explaining the process of my case. His entire office staff was very knowled...geable in assisting me in putting together everything I needed. They followed up with phone calls and made sure I was on top of things. My deportation case has been closed and I am now on the road to obtaining a work permit. Before I hired this firm, my outlook seemed bleak and I was depressed. I now have new hope for my future that I will not be separated from my family and will be able to provide for them. I recommend them to anyone I know who needs an immigration lawyer. Jose A.

He took my dad out of deportation proceedings

I am forever grateful to the Law Offices of Salvador Ongaro. He took my dad's case that was messed up from another attorney. We didn't know that the first attorney we had gone to was too inexperienced and practiced a variety of laws including personal injury, dog bites and small claims. She total...ly lied that she has experience in immigration and her mistakes put my father in deportation proceedings. Luckily we immediate consulted with an expert in immigration law and were relieved to find that the error could be fixed. It took extra work and lots of explaining but now we're back on track where we wanted to be. If you ever need an immigration attorney, please don't go to just anyone, chose an expert like Salvador Ongaro. He knows his stuff, he's honest and upfront with his clients. Because of him, my dad will be able to soon legalize his status. Muchas Gracias!

The attorney and entire staff speak Spanish.

My mom needed some immigration help and in looking for attorneys I made a special effort to find one where there would be no confusion in translation. It was important for my mother to be able to express herself directly with the people helping her. Not only does the entire staff speak Spanish, bu...t the attorney is very fluent in Spanish. He's actually from Mexico! This was a bonus for my mom and now they're taking care of her and I don't have to be present for phone calls or be with her at her appointments. They've been very attentive and professional. Truly heaven sent!

Very caring and concerned for our family's case.

I just want to say that this office helped my husband when he was faced with a very challenging case. We had gone to other attorneys only to have our hard-earned money taken from us but to no avail. When we were offered a free consultation with this attorney, we figured we had nothing to lose if i...t was free. We were surprised to know that we met with the attorney himself, and not some paralegal. He understood our situation and explained the complexities very thoroughly and gave us a spark of hope. After a few months we received wonderful news that the lawyer was successful in keeping my husband from being separated from us. Throughout the entire process the office kept in touch with us, called us to make sure we on top of collecting required info as well as inquired on our family's well-being. You just don't hear of law firms like this any more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
