A Lawyer with Integrity and Compassion

My wife and I were blessed to have Atty Mariela represent us pro bono in our removal case since 2009. She's a lawyer who knows immigration law thoroughly, listens to your situation with a caring heart and goes to court with you very well prepared. I remember we were the first clients she took after s...he passed the bar. She successfully researched our case and ably defended us during our court hearings. She is a lawyer with a strong faith in God and what He can do. During those times when we were anxious with my wife, Atty. Mariela went out of her way and prayed with us for strength. It's not easy when you face a judge in court. The emotional and spiritual support we got from her is uncommon and unparalleled among other immigration lawyers. She always has time for us and answers our calls. Her immigration staff like Everth are equally very helpful, caring and courteous. My wife and I are deeply grateful for what she has done to help us with our case. Truly, Atty Mariela is a dependable, trustworthy, knowledgeable and excellent lawyer that we are proud to recommend to anyone who are in a similar situation. We know because today we were given a new lease in our life. Atty. Mariela was able to get prosecutorial discretion for me and my wife despite the difficulty of our case. We thank God for lawyers like her. We can guarantee that having her by your side as counsellor would be one of the best decisions you can make when you need a lawyer to represent you in immigration court. I hope that there will be more lawyers like her who are genuine, caring and who would take your case irregardless if you can afford or not.

Honest Immigration Attorney

I can't recommend Ms. Camisassa any more highly for all your immigration needs. I have worked with many many attorneys, and can honestly say that none compare to Ms. Camisassa in terms of a broad knowledge and expertise in the field of immigration law. She is very honest, responsible and trustworthy....

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.
