Agradecido por la gran labor del Doctor Mario Portugal

El doctor Mario y su equipo de trabajo, en especial Aldo, Lograron la liberación de mi hijo después de estar casi 3 meses en detención, una vez los contacte inmediatamente iniciaron con el trabajo para lograr la liberación de mi hijo el Doctor Mario logró que desestimaran el caso de mi hijo logrando ...su libertad e iniciando su proceso de inmigración motivó por el cual mi hijo goza de su libertad y está a la espera de su permiso de trabajo y social security number. Realmente el doctor y su asistente en tiempo récord y con gran efectividad lograron cambiar mi vida de la tristeza de tener a mi hijo detenido pase a la felicidad total con su libertad y su estatus migratorio conseguido por ellos. No tengo palabras para expresar cuan agradecido. Estoy con ellos son excelentes profesionales en su campo y unos seres humanos invaluables muy serios responsables y super atentos siempre me estuvieron acompañando en todo y actualizando de todo lo del proceso con mi hijo, Solo puedo desearles muchos éxitos y bendiciones en su vida, realmente son un par de ángeles que Dios envío a ayudar a las personas que lo necesitan como mi hijo y yo Mil gracias al Doctor Mario y su equipo de trabajo nunca dejare de agradecerles.

During my search for an immigration attorney I came across many that didn’t fell like the gave me the confidence to work with them Until I found Mario Portugal. He was very friendly and very eager to work with you. He provided many good answers and even help ask bigger questions that would never cros...s my mind. He also answered many of my concerned questions with the upmost confidence and if he didn’t have an answer he would get you one quick with detailed explanation. He help me get my wife’s immigration status in a good timely manner and even help me settle a settlement with another entity. Thank you Mario for at the work you’ve done and if I have any other issues your my first pick.
