Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Giselle is an outstanding immigration attorney. She is experienced, very knowledgeable in her field, and communicates in a clear and concise manner. As a career litigator, I was a "fish out of water" when I received my first immigration case. The guidance and assistance Giselle provided me with on my case was invaluable. My client and I are truly grateful. I highly recommend her services."

Immigration lawyer | May 27

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Attorney Giselle Sotelo is one of the best deportation defense attorneys in Southern California. I hired her a number of years ago, and we worked together for over 3 years. During that time, she represented hundreds of our clients in Immigration Court and before the Board of Immigration Appeals. She is smart, hardworking, bilingual (Her mother was born in El Salvador.) and achieved great results for our clients. She is very knowledgeable, conscientious, ethical and highly respected by government officers and judges."

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.
