Posted by Verónica | August 25, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Este abogado sólo se dedica a tomar casos y después no tiene tiempo para resolverlos .

El agarró el caso de mi esposo y no lo puedo resolver en 3 años. Tuvimos que cambiar de abogado después de ese tiempo y en 3 meses lo resolvieron y nos dieron la residencia a mi y a mi esposo en tan solo 3 meses, por qué era un caso relativamente facil pero este abogado nunca checó que había hecho ...mal y si hizo muchas cosas malas en la solicitud.

Posted by anonymous | January 14, 2015 | Immigration

Smart and resourceful lawyer that's patient and willing to work with you and Immigration Officers on getting your case solved.

My case was hairy, unique and complicated yet Mr. Porta was able to get me my job back and ultimately through collaboration, focus and assertiveness my Green Card. Mr. Porta is a busy man yet I recommend him for his knowledge of the intricacies of the Immigration law and his collaborative work eth...ic. If you're willing to do your part to prove your case is right and have his expertise and resourcefulness on your side you will succeed.

"Mr. Porta is an exceptional attorney. Although I have been practicing law for 24 years as a judge, magistrate, law professor, prosecutor, and private attorney, I learn from his responses on Avvo every time that he posts. If I needed an attorney, I would hire him. I recommend him with no reservation. It would be the best investment of your life to hire him to represent you."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Porta is not only personally pleasant and friendly, but competent and caring. During my time working along side him for another company I was impressed with his always cheerful demeanor and his dedicaiton to help people, especially those lost in the byzantine immigration laws. If you have an immigration issue or want to refer someone to him, he has my recommendation."

Appeals lawyer | Sep 04

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Joe Porta for appeals to the BIA and to the 9th Circuit. There are only a few great immigration lawyers in Los Angeles and Joe is one of them. He will not take your money unless you have a legitimate shot at winning. He has an excellent repoire with many judges because he does the work that he is supposed to do. Don't get ripped off! Go to Joe."
