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!

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!

Great person and lawyer

Very responsive to what we needed and the guys is just very nice. He made us feel human again, especially after dealing with creditors. He doesn't call you back right away, but he did email me at all hours. If you have bankruptcy questions, call this guy.

I highly recommend!

We have had Arturo as our lawyer for quite some time now and have alot of trust & faith in him. Since the first time we met him we felt he was trustworthy. We had paid many other lawyers to get consults about our case and they never really gave us hope. But Arturo was different, he went on and on an...d on about the different options we can do and gave us that feeling of hope. So far everthing has been going great in our case, considering what could have happend to my husband, and even though our case is still in progress he has already done more than what we thought we could have done........We have recommended him to SEVERAL family & friends and he has help them as well, so I definitely rcommend.

"Mr. Benavidez is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced immigration attorneys in northern California. He is the first and only attorney that my office will consult with on immigration issues that arise in our criminal defense practice. His analysis is thorough and his advice is precise. I have referred many of my own clients in need of immigration counsel to him, and have always received glowing reviews of his work. In short, he is bright, kind, and willing to go the extra mile for his clients."
