Immigration Law attorney

Spectacular job from the very initiation of the process. This man went above and beyond to get the best possible outcome in my case even though is was very difficult under my circumstances. Honest, hardworking, and extremely dedicated putting his good will into his work on his cases working even late... hours to accommodate to his client's schedule to truly help you. Not very many attorneys that I have encounter can this be said about, with 2 bad previous experiences with immigration attorneys. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone who wants an honest hard-working attorney that will do his best from the very start to help get you the best possible outcome. His knowledge regarding immigration law is truly incredible and the passion towards his work is clearly evident.

I Highly Recommend Them!

I started my adjustment of status last year, and Octavian was exceptionally patient and helpful in assisting us throughout the process. He took the time to explain each step, answered all our questions, and even provided additional resources to make the process smoother. The process may seem long, an...d gathering the requested documents may feel tedious, but I would recommend doing as the attorney requests because, at the end of it all, it will be worth it. We were scheduled for an interview, and when we got there, the officer mentioned how detailed our attorney was, and they did not understand why our case was flagged for review. I am forever grateful for Octavian and Sol assistance.

Choose Him!!

I recently consulted with Octavian Jumanca with Westlake Law about some concerns I had about a divorce that had immigration implications. I had talked to several other attorneys prior to my consultation with Octavian and wanted to share my observations. Compared to the multitude of other attorney...s, Octavian was by far and away the most knowledgeable about divorce with immigration implications, patient, and pleasant to talk to. He provided concise and easy to understand answers to our concerns in a calming manner. If you are seeking help, I would strongly recommend using Octavian Jumanca to anyone that needs legal counsel.

Helped us get my husband's Green Card!

Octavian helped prepare and guide us through the daunting Green Card application process. He prepared all forms & compiled additional information we provided to make a good case in approving my husband for a Green Card. My husband had some questionable moments in his history of entering the US on an... overstayed visa, as well as a false criminal charge against him that was ultimately cleared from his record, but Octavian was optimistic he still had a good chance of being approved for his Green Card. After waiting 15 months after turning in the Green Card application and packet, we were finally notified to report to DHS for the interview. When we met with Octavian to prepare for the interview, he had us provide further information that he assembled into a separate packet, which included recent pictures of us and our family, and recent tax info, joint financial documents, etc.as well as the sealed I693 med exam. He spent some time conducting mock interview questions with my husband and me separately to prepare us for the interview. My husband and I work full time, so we appreciate that Octavian was able to meet with us on a few different Sundays during this entire process, and even dealt with us bringing our baby, now toddler daughter to the office. He accompanied us to the interview and even provided a Spanish translator for my husband if he needed additional interpretation during the interview. All the hard work paid off, our interview went well, and I have to give credit to Octavian for compiling the packet of recent info as this included new pictures of my husband, daughter, me, and our family. The immigration officer reacted very well to our pictures which created a good connection to us, and we are thrilled that my husband got his Green Card in a little over one week after the interview! We highly recommend Octavian to anyone needing immigration legal help!

I personally witnessed his skill and drive when he contacted me about an appellate case of his.
