One of the Best

Arturo is one of the most professional attorney I have ever delt with! He is very intelligent and got my husband home! He is the best at what he does. Him and all his office staff made us feel like family!!After going to a consulate appt. my husband was denied his residency but Arturo got him home. H...e was always in contact with us through my husbands case via phone or email. All I can say is that I would recommend him to anyone who has an immigration case. He will definately defend you! I have already recommened him to many people and I cant express how thankful I am for him and his hard work. His office staff is very nice too! Marco helped us all out alot. And all the waiting was worth every cent!

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.
