Review Jay Ignacio Nunez

My husband and I used Attorney Jay Nunez since 2010. We had a wonderful professional relationship. We used Jay and his team to resolve an overstayed visa that had a mandatory 10 year ban. We also successfully used Mr. Nunez for a petition of naturalization. After living in fear for many years, I can blissfully say that this May I was sworn in as a citizen of the United States of America. Without Jay’s help I sincerely believe this would not have been possible. I have to say my situation was very complicated and I was turned down by many attorneys and the ones that would except my case made me feel that they weren’t Confident that they could achieve A positive outcome. Jay and his assistants Fabiana and Jane Were wonderful and walked me through the entire legal process making everything Simple and productive. I Absolutely recommend Jay and his team to anyone in need of immigration law services.

Our experience with Mr. Nunez was outstanding! He was very professional, friendly, understanding, and informative. He took the time to explain the steps and was always there when we had questions. He stays up to date on current events and legal matters that ensure we're doing everything within the law and time. His staff was also very professional and accommodating. When we attended meetings the environment was warm and inviting. He delivered on everything he said he was going to do and we're extremely satisfied with the service we received. We greatly recommend him to anyone that requires immigration services. If you need help, he is the one to contact.

Jay took over my case for an 0-1 visa from another attorney and from the first minute he was a huge improvement. He was always very quick to reply to any questions I had and made himself available to me to consult with over the phone whenever it was convenient for me. I would highly recommend Jay and his team to anyone.

Both my wife and I are very satisfied with Jay's assistance, professionalism and honesty. I've worked with several other attorneys for the last ten years (on other matters) and can attest to Jay's sensitivity in handling and dealing with our immigration needs. He is a great attorney. Jay was very responsive, attentive to each of our questions and provided effective advice with insightful comments. Many thanks again for the excellent results.

I had interviewed other immigration lawyers prior to going with Jay. The others were ambiguous, expensive and standoffish. Jay listened to me; advised me and proceeded promptly and efficiently. He was always available by e-mail and got back to me promptly. Immigration can be a nerve wracking experience. He walked me through it and kept me calm! He in addition to being a very capable attorney, he is an honorable and decent man.

Jay is a great lawyer, the first time I met him, his approach was humane and sincere, I highly recommend him for your immigration problems, before he started working on my case, he ran a full evaluation to see all possible and potential problems ahead of time, which is ultimately what I was looking for. Excellent and trustworthy lawyer.
