Thankful!

My experience with this office was truly great. They did an I-601A and it was approved and then my appointment was scheduled for an appointment in El Salvador. When I did my medical exam is when I had an issue. The results came back with a problem in my liver (greasy liver) and the doctors were conce...rned that it was alcohol abuse related. After a medical regime to treat the liver problem I was able to obtain my medical exam and received another appointment in El Salvador. The whole time I was in El Salvador. I was always I informed, it was easy to talk to the office. They were very attentive and professional. The whole staff is very knowledgeable. I made the right choice in choosing this office. I had a terrible experience with another attorney. Anyone looking for an experienced, attentive law office this is the right office with you. Thank you Mr. Vega!!!

U visa issued!

I was assaulted with a machete in 2012 by the person who lived with me. He was arrested and convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Several years later I was referred to Adan Vega who immediately applied for a U visa. I was contacted this week from the law offices of Mr. Vega that I ...was approved for the U visa. This is a big change in my life and I am very happy. I feel secure and I am no longer afraid that I can be picked up by at anytime by Immigration. I want to thank Adan Vega and all of his staff especially Eunice who always answered all of my questions. Thank you so much!!!

Fantastic

I've heard all kinds of horror stories in regards of immigration lawyers but Mr Vega and his office made me feel secure. I always felt they had my best interest at heart and looked into what was best for me and my family. His team always responded promptly with any questions i had and also patience. ...This process is long and frustrating, so i really appreciate their patience specially when i felt frustrated the most. I've referred my friends and family to Mr. Vega and will continue to do so Thank you!

Great achievement.

First of all I want to say that I highly recommend Mr Vega and his team, if you need someone that knows about immigration laws, they are the right folks. I went with 2 lawyers before I came to Mr Vega offices and one of them was asking me for alots of money because he said that my case was a little ...to complicated, so I decided to get a second oppinion, the second lawyer told me no to spend my money because I won’t get my resident card. So my wife’s friend recommend us Mr Vega, he knows the immigration laws, he explained us everything that we needed to know, and now we just got our resident cards. Thanks to Mr Vega and his team, especially to Eunice, she was always very kind and helpful, also Mr Fadel for his help and his knowledge on immigration laws.

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.”
