DACA Review

Mr. Benavidez was a great help to my case and helped me in every way possible. He genuinely cares about his clients and does a professional job when handling cases. The moment I walked into my consult I felt welcomed, they helped me understand every step of the case and answered all the questions. I ...am a DACA student and required his assistance in filling out paperwork. This is very important to me because with his help I can further on my education. I would recommend Mr. Benavidez and his staff to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer. This law firm is of great help and I appreciate everything that was done for me! I would recommend 100%! Once again THANK YOU!

I recommend Arturo Benavidez for all immigration cases.

In August of 2012 I found myself in need of Legal help. I was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol but my case became more complicated when my legal status came into question. I was referred to Arturo Benavidez and I could not be happier for the service he has offered me. In 2012, he ...helped prevented my deportation out of the country by proving my eligibility for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival. My case took longer to resolve due to that arrest, but finally after 9 months since sending in my application to USCIS for DACA I have finally been granted my Work Permit. I feel like I owe it all to Arturo Benavidez and his staff. They covered all basis to make sure my petition was granted. They were beyond helpful and professional.

THE BEST AND FRIENDLIEST IMMIGRATION LAWYER

I have known Arturo more than seven years. Arturo handled my immigration matter. I had a very complicated case with immigration, and my husband went to see another lawyer, and he told my husband we couldn't do anything. I needed to leave and wait for ten years, but I went to see and talk with Arturo ...on my own. Arturo told me all my rights and things he could do, and he said, "Tell your husband to come and talk with me." So my husband and I went together and talked with him. My husband didn't believe in him before, but after he listened to him, he changed his mind and started our case. It was complicated, but he was very confident and knew about immigration. He solved all the problems, and I got my green card, and my three children did too. My oldest son's case was complicated as well because he was older than 18 years when I got married with my husband. Arturo worked really hard for all of us. Now we are all citizens. Thanks to Arturo for his hard work and great job.

An Ethical, Honest, Friendly, Knowledgeable Lawyer That Knows The System and Gets the Best Results !

Mr. Arturo Benavidez represented me in dog bite case. The owners of the two pit bulls that attacked me were insured by one of the largest insurance companies well known for their skill at under estimating the value of a claim, in my opinion. Through out the entire process Mr. Benavidez kept me up to ...date on all new information and explained my options on a timely basis. His superior knowledge of the "LAW" and the legal system brought about the BEST POSSIBLE resolution of this case. I Highly Recommend MR. Benavidez: he is an Ethical, Honest, Capable Lawyer that gets the Best for his clients!
