100% Recommended

I hired Attorney Fontes for an adjustment of status for my father. From the day that I met him, I could tell he was very skilled and experience. I had been looking for attorneys for almost a year and he was the one that I felt I could trust. I live in Miami and he is in Santa Ana California. My fathe...r lives in Houston. I strongly recommend him and if I ever need his service I will rehire him.

Honest and Professional!

Attorney Martin Fontes helped me with a difficult immigration case. My citizenship application was questioned and we had to go to trial. He fought for me and made me feel safe and in good hands. I felt that his priority was to help me and not money, like it usually is with lawyers. His assistant, ...Mayela, is also outstanding: professional and helpful. I recommend this firm for any of your immigration issues without hesitation!

Avvo Rating

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.
