Best Attorney I have seen

I worked with a different attorney before I switched to Ruben, I am happy I made that decision. Because Ruben works faster, he is more knowledgeable and he understands what it's like to be an immigrant. I spoke with several organizations and attorneys and none of them were as helpful or understanding.... Ruben gave me a great and realistic price (within my budget) and he was fine with waiting (for a couple days) before cashing the check I wrote. He always emails updates to me, and has been working on my case faster than I expected. I am highly satisfied with his services and I would recommend him to all of my friends. -March 20 - Ruben sent review request before filing motion to terminate -April 8 - He went to an appointment and paid $85 to get a fingerprinting appointment for me (emailed me the invoice and the receipt, I didn't want to drive to his office or go to the post office to mail a check, so I paid him back with the Square Cash app -how convenient is that =) -April 16 - I got fingerprinted, I was in and out in 20 minutes. -April 22- DHS agreed to file a motion to terminate. -April 24- The motion to terminate has been filed with the court. -July 27th- My Case was terminated. TL:DR: -We have a lackadaisical immigration court in LA. But, Ruben kept calling, and he contacted the right people. -Ruben kept me updated about my case, I didn't have to go to court (yes, not even once). -My case was terminated. -I am highly satisfied with his services and I would recommend him to everyone.

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.
