I trusted him with my VAWA case and it was approved!

On April 2019 I went to doctor Vega office not knowing how to proceed or what to do after being married to an American citizen who was taking advantage of my immigration status to manipulate me every time he wanted to. Doctor Vega explained me all the options I had and based on all the evidence I’ve ...saved during the little time I was married he told me that my best bet was to apply through VAWA. Him and his team guided me through the whole process and were always there to assist me with every single question I had. The process took almost 2 years but it was totally worth the waiting, my case is finally approved!!! I highly recommend him and I have no words to thank him and also Paola Reina (his legal assistant) for all the patience and kindness they had with me every time I came up with a new question.

Appreciation Review

Yo contrate al abogado Adan Vega para que me ayudará a obtener mejor estatus migratorio. El abogado Vega fue muy amable al igual que su personal que trabaja con el. Por mi experiencia lo recomiendo, ya que gracias a él pude obtener mi residencia.

Knows the law

I came to Adan Vega In January 2017 with a complicated immigration case. My ex divorced me just 2 months after receiving my conditional green card. I felt hopeless and was depressed. This law office felt my case had a shot of being approved and charged reasonable fees. The team especially Ms. Reyna ...put up a strong case for me with the limited evidence I had to prove my marriage was real. I was well informed along every step of the way. As the years went by, I got anxious but the team told me to remain optimistic and I’m happy that in May 2020, the conditions were removed and I got my 10yrs card with conditions removed. This was a miracle as they put up a solid case on my behalf and my interview was waived also. I’m truly grateful to this team for supporting me to make my American Dream come through.

Although a lengthy journey dating back to 2015, Adan vega and his staff have worked hard on my case and h...ave always kept me informed and up to date with any advancement regarding my immigration process, from the initial consultation up to when I received my permanent visa, the entire firm have always been very attentive and transparent. I would also like to thank Ms.Paloma for always contacting me when necessary and being patient with me when answering questions to all my concerns.

Experience

Rating:  9.9 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.

Public Reprimand issued in TX, 2018

updated on 02/21/2019

Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Adan’s comment:

“This was a paid consultation with few options. Afterward, a document was signed declining my legal services. After they left, I was able to find a solution and contacted them with the option. They agreed to retain/pay but then did not contact me for 17 months. They then demanded I provide my work product for free and filed a complaint. The state bar deemed that a relationship existed and I had to provide my work product for free. My office never received compensation from them.”
