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.
