The best Immigration Lawyer

I try to get help with my case from immigration from several lawyers, here in Portland Oregon but they just are fraud. Jeffrey Gonzales, was the only who help me with my case. Thanks to him, I got back legal to the US and having a better life. I highly recommend Jeffrey Gonzales for those who need a...ssistance with any immigration process. He is very knowledgeable and keeps his client informed about what is going on. He helped my wife. We were completely satisfied with the advise given to us as well as the outcome. Jeff is very professional and answers any questions you may have promptly. Jeffrey is very knowledgeable and shows it through his work, he gets it done! I highly recommend Jeffrey Gonzales! Thank you Jeffrey, you are the best.

Thank You!!!

Always responsive to questions that we may of had, Jeff was very knowledgeable and thought of ways to make the process a lot faster. Thanks to them my family is now reunited after my husband was in Mexico for almost 7 months. Not only did he help us, but he has also helped our family for a number of ...years.

Thank you, Jeff!

My husband was deported in 2001 and he was in the US unlawfully until 2011. Jeff and his son, JJ, said they could get a waiver for the deportation and a waiver for my unlawful presence, and we hired them. Now my husband is back in the United States with his green card!

Help with a difficult situation

When my wife and I met and were married in December of '05, she had a pending application for permanent residency with USICS. We never heard anything on her application and subsequently moved from Arizona to Oregon in April of '06. Curious to know what was happening, we went to the Portland office of... USICS in May. In July of '06, my wife got a letter from USICS informing her that she was inadmissable to the United States of America due to legal problems she had many years before ('86). This was unexpected and and we realized that we were in serious trouble. I, also, was in some disbelief because as an American citizen, I was shocked by the reality that my government could remove my wife from the country and I was not about to just drop her off at the airport with a "Sorry my government doesn't like you". We started our quest for permanent residency and citizenship by calling immigration attorneys in New York, where her original application had been made. The several we talked to basically said, "Sorry, there is nothing we can do for you." We saw an immigration attorney in Portland. Her response that she dealt primarily with filing uncomplicated cases with routine paperwork. She also advised that we NOT go back to the USICS office again without an attorney escort and to find an attorney that dealt with deportation issues. That is how we came to find Jeff Gonzales and his law firm partners. Jeff went over the situation we faced and while we all realized it was going to be a complicated situation, he was confident that we could get through the process of residency and citizenship. This being the fall of '06, by June of '07, my wife received her permanent residency card from USCIS. Of course we were quite elated and she got to go home to her country for the first time in 20 years to see family and friends from home. However, we were not done yet. After the requisite three year wait, we began the process for citizenship. Many years, many changes in laws, and previous dealings with INS in other jurisdictions brought a whole new set of problems. But Jeff remained confident we would get through it and with the help of all the attorneys at Jeff's law firm, my wife was sworn in as a citizen of the USA in February of this year. Both of us cannot thank Jeff Ganzales and all the attorneys at his firm enough for their help in making a dream come true for my wife.

Excellent lawyer that gets results!

My wife and I highly recommend the Law Offices of Jeffrey Gonzales for anyone needing help with immigration. My wife and I had sought out what we were told were some of the best immigration lawyers in Oregon and California. After hundreds of dollars in consultation fees they would tell us that we d...id not qualify for a hardship waiver. When we heard about Jeffrey I was hesitant to waste anymore money on consultations, but he assured me that it would not be a waste and gave OUR case a 99% success rate. He was spot on. Everything they told us happened exactly as they said! We met with Jeffrey Jan. 31, 2011 and almost exactly a year later my wife got her Visa. We could not be happier. Anyone needing help talk to Jeff. If you are like myself where you have been told that you just don't qualify for a hardship, definitely talk to Jeff. He and his staff are so friendly and know exactly what to do and how to get your Visa. The key is Jeff gets it done. He is honest and upfront about everything, and he backs up what he says with results. I tell everyone I know about their office and recommend them to everyone. My wife and I will never forget what they have done for us.
