Dedicated Attorney

Alejandro went above and beyond in handling my case. From the start, he took the time to break everything down, making sure I understood my options and what to expect. I was facing serious legal challenges, and he fought tirelessly on my behalf. Whether it was filing key motions, negotiating with the... prosecution, or presenting a strong defense in court, he handled everything with skill and determination. His deep understanding of both criminal and immigration law made all the difference, and thanks to his hard work, I got the best possible outcome. He genuinely cares about his clients, and that kind of dedication is hard to find.

Visa approval

Alejandro is the best lawyer in town. I met him through a good friend. He helped me when no other lawyer would. My case is very complicated, and after a long wait, my visa was approved last week. Thank you, Alejandro, for all your dedication and care for me and my husband. We are very grateful to you....

Excellent Genuine Attorney.

Alejandro Barraza, is an attorney that genuinely wants to help his clients. He gave me sound advice for an issue I was having with requesting legal residency for my grandfather. When I contacted Alejandro, he was very patient while hearing my case and showed genuine concern. I was having an issue wit...h the affidavit of support application that I had to fill out for my grandfather. My grandfather had already been denied residency, however USCIS were not very specific on what I was doing wrong. I explained my situation to Alejandro. Alejandro said I did not have very much left to acquire the residency. Alejandro was honest and said I was far along enough to acquire my grandfather's residency without an immigration lawyer. Alejandro went on to give me a few tips that described some common issues that occur when filling out the application. I re-submitted the application based on the tips Alejandro gave me; A little while later the application was accepted. Without this conversation I had with Alejandro I would have never have made the appropriate changes to the application. I now recommend Alejandro to anyone that has immigration issues.
