Highly recommend

From start to successful finish, Maria Jones and her staff were highly professional and took immediate action on my case. I had a few issues going into my application which she was quickly able to clarify and explain to me and, most importantly, knew what actions to take to correct those issues. Upda...tes and communication was always above standard and a few months later I can happily say I am an American citizen which is mostly in part to the help to the quick work of Maria Jones and staff. Recommend to anyone in need of immigration services!

Experience and hard work

Great experience, professional and they go way out of their way to help you understand the options and timing! Local firm very familiar with the system but with the global reach. Spanish speaking and understanding of the need to help reunite families! Much gratitude for their hard work! Personal exp...erience ... many grateful customers/referrals over the years!

Lost paperwork

Never work with these people. They lost my wife's permit paperwork and told me all I can do is wait to see if it maybe arrives. USPS tracking shows It was already delivered to their office. Totally incompetent. Nothing but excuses and insincere apologies. They claim to "understand" but really all we ...are to them is someone they can keep billing month in and month out. They don't care how they're unprofessionalism and incompetence effects people's lives.

HORRIBLE!

I would not recommend this law firm. They will lie to you and tell you that you have a chance of getting your residency so you pay crazy amounts of money but at the end when you get denied they tell you that there is nothing else they can do or give you another option to appeal the denial for thousan...ds more. I paid $5,500 for my case and they wanted to charge an additional $2000 for just a work permit and that's not even counting the immigration fees. When our case was denied they only returned $1000 back! Do not hire Maria Jones Law Firm, they are a mess, not helpful and you can find other lawyers that will at least tell you the truth and not steal from you.

Horrible Service

I strongly do NOT recommend Maria Jones mainly because her firm is not trustworthy. I Hired her approximately 6 years ago and she seemed like she wanted to help me, but as soon as I fell behind on a payment she went and submitted a request to the courts to change my court date within a month without ...notifying me. I had no idea she had changed my court date and she withdrew herself from representing me. Since my original court date was set up for a year later, I did not expect any problems until ICE showed up at my business to arrest me due to not showing to court. I almost got deported that same day because of this attorney sabotaging my case due to a payment being behind. It is a horrible feeling to hire someone who is supposed to help you, but instead all they care about is money. So as soon as they don't get all the money they will get you deported, or even if they get the money with these actions I'm lead to believe that she would of still not helped. Luckily I found a different attorney who was able to stop the deportation that same night when immigration arrested me. The judge allowed me to stay and continue to fight the case in the U.S. because it was clear that Maria Jones withdrew and changed my court date to a year before my original court date to affect my case. If I could give negative stars for this attorney's rating I would.
