Don't waste your time!

After our first consultation and follow-up calls, apparently everything was fine. But, I believe they gave up on my case and did not warn me. I have wasted a lot of time waiting for their contact. Even after confirming my intent to proceed with the case, I have not received the contract yet. I calle...d and sent an email requesting the contract once again. They replied they were working on it, but I never received it. I wasted precious time with them for nothing. Maybe this was for the better, because legal cases demand time and commitment. Don't waste your time!

L1/L2 VISA

Marcelo worked with me since the begging of my VISA process. He has done great work and is very professional. I will continue to use his services and will recommend him to anyone I know.

Marcelo is a great professional and has a very friendly personality. Once he takes your case he really fights for you. He's been working hard on my complex case and I'm very grateful for his dedication and availability. I would recommend him without any hesitation.

Excellent Lowyer

Marcelo Gondim is very professional and efficient in what he does. He is always there when we desperately need a lawyer’s advice. We recommended him to some people and they are delighted and pleased with his work.

Great immigration lawyer

Marcelo has been helping me since 2013 and he has been extremely accessible, informative, helpful and professional. I really appreciate his services and kindness. I would recommend him to any one looking for a great immigration attorney. He assisted me and my wife obtaining our E-2 visa.

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.
