This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

John and Team are Responsive, Compassionate and Encouraging

My husband and I had been working with another attorney for approximately one year regarding our complicated and ongoing immigration issue. We wanted more from our legal representation both in the way of overall strategy, the proactive pursuit of a favorable remedy and in general responsiveness and c...ustomer service. I asked another attorney for a referral and he gave me John's name. John and the team at his office have been wonderful to work with from the start. They set clear expectations. They are diligent in pursuing and applying current expertise in the evolving area of law relevant to our case. They are personally kind, super pleasant to interact with and have developed, what I believe is the smartest and most persuasive legal argument possible for our case. I would highly recommend the services of the Marandas Garcia Law Firm.

  • 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.
