Wonderful lawyer team!

I’ve been working with Adam Vega office since 2016 when I applied for my first working visa. I am very satisfied of their overall work. However I would like to mention that Fadel Ibrahim who has been taking care of me since the beginning of 2019 is doing an outstanding job. He can tell how much I ...can get worried easily and go with thousands questions a minute. I can’t count how many times I emailed or called him! Anyhow Fadel always replies in a meticulous manner to every single question I may have. I can’t thank him enough to get back to me as soon as he can. I highly recommend him to deal with your immigration matter. Thanks a lot!

Excellent lawyer

My name is Ern and I had a very complex case . I first went to Mr Vega office for a least 2 time before hiring him. He will detail everything you have to do.I had some previous cases that had been denied because of the incompetence of my previous lawyers. I didn’t know Mr Vega law office before. When... I finally hear about this office through a friend, I decided to try him out. At first, he looked at my previous cases and said he was able to solve it but I wasn’t there for those cases.. The law firm office personnel are very respectful and good customer service.. I fallowed every piece of legal advice and they work on my case until the end.. I was so amazed by the work because i finally got my LPR which I had so much doubt due to my previous immigration cases.. Do not make a mistake not to hire him. I can tell you that. I’ve been in so many lawyers offices from New York to Texas, but he was the most explicit and concrete lawyer I have ever met with a great team.. ‘’The End justifies the means ‘’. Good luck people

Excellent service

I highly recommend the Law Offices of Adan G Vega & Associates. We went to two lawyers and none of them helped us; they just took our money. A friend of ours highly recommended Mr. Adan Vega and his law firm. Finally we found a lawyer we could trust. Mr. Vega explained to us step by step how th...e process was going to be and everything happened just the way he said. Me and my husband are truly grateful to Mr. Vega and Mrs. Paloma Reyna's hardwork and everyone involved our case. My husband now has his residency! Thank you so very much!!

From beginning to end, the help and guidance you need

Mr. Vega and his team recently helped me and my wife through our process. We had recently gotten married and our case was complex, Mr. Vega took the time to look at our case, tell us our options and guide us through the process. Together with his team, the process was smooth and we always knew what t...o expect. Of course, there is a lot of waiting time once applications are submitted but because of how thorough and prepared we were thanks to Mr. Vega, we knew our case was strong. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

Excellent Service!

My Permanent Residence status has been approved finally after a little over a year of waiting. Adan G. Vega & Associates were instrumental in obtaining my green card realizing that the ups and downs of the immigration process were totally worth it when you hire high caliber attorneys to represent you.... The team stood by me and my partner upon receiving requests for evidence, interview, feedback and follow through. It’s been quite a journey but we took refuge in knowing that we have an amazing team behind us always ready to answer all questions, transparent of the situation and ultimately reassured us of the steps to be taken. Special mention to one of their superstar paralegals (PR), who tirelessly looked into our case and guided us every step of the way; Atty. M who explained immigration process and accompanied us during the interview; and the whole team who in one way or the other helped us get through this. If you are seeking for immigration services, I highly recommend the Law Office of Adan G Vega & Associates. You will get the outstanding service you paid for. Thank you for the excellent service! * Arrived in the US on B1/B2 visa; same-sex marriage, Asians

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.”
