Top-Tier Immigration Expert – Great Results!!
Professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. Mr. Abbes handled my neighbors’ immigration case with great care and kept us informed throughout. Their guidance was invaluable, and we are very happy with the results. Five stars!!!
"I have known George Abbes for many years. He is professional and knowledgeable in his field. I am so confident in his skills that he was my only option when I needed an immigration lawyer for a family member."
"This man has the experience to create and execute solutions for immigration law issues. He has been vetted by many of my trusted colleagues."
"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. A brilliant attorney, highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse George Abbes. Outstanding reputation as a former deputy public defender. Significant contributions and local endorsements. If you are in or near Garden Grove call him first for a consultation. Experience matters!"
"I've had the pleasure and good fortune to have met George and over the years, I have referred many clients to him for their immigration issues. In addition to being a fantastic advocate for his clients in immigration, he's been a phenomenal resource to the bar associations he's an active member of - constantly giving updates on immigration law issues that criminal defense attorneys need to know. Bottom line? An excellent choice for an attorney for any immigration issue."
"George is a no-nonsense honest advocate on behalf of his clients. He is highly experienced and has an excellent legal mind. Not only does he have extensive criminal law experience, he is also the go-to attorney for Immigration issues in criminal law. His ability to quickly recite current immigration law is nothing short of amazing. Errol Cook, Esq."
"I turn to George Abbes each time I represent a non-citizen in any criminal matter. Occasionally a client has already contacted an immigration lawyer. But I have yet to see any such matter go as well or as smoothly for the client as it does when George is at the helm on the immigration issues. I regularly consult George on immigration consequences of criminal charges, and his assistance has made all the difference. My clients and I have benefitted greatly from his expertise as well as his generosity."
"Though George left the public defender's office several years ago, he did not leave his sense of service to the community. He is always available to answer questions about how various dispositions in my clients' criminal cases will effect their immigration status. He is incredibly knowledgeable and to the point. Most times in about 3 minutes on the phone with George, I have a concisely articulated understanding of the immigration issues facing my client and a strategy to deal with them."
"I've known George for many years. He is my go-to person for immigration issues, especially the impact of criminal convictions on immigration status. He has a wealth of knowledge and keeps abreast of this constantly changing field. He always has an answer for my questions. I heartily recommend him."
"I have known Mr. Abbes for about 20 years. He was an exceptional lawyer at the Office of the Public Defender for many years, and then retired so he could go into private practice and assist immigrants with their immigration needs. Mr. Abbes is my "go to guy" every time I have an immigration concern or question. His expertise are such that he has been asked to speak to other lawyers about immigration and criminal/immigration crossover issues. I do not hesitate to endorse Mr. Abbes, as I regularly use him myself!"

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Abbes is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He has proven himself to be one of the most professional and ethical attorneys I have ever worked with."
"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Abbes on a criminal defense matter. He was extremely knowledgeable of the law, and during a complicated motion worked very well on his feet for his client, resulting in the dismissal of a protective order. I endorse Mr. Abbes and his work!"
