Great Support during challenging times for Applying for Work Visa

Mr. Vega was a great support from the very beginning when my German company decided to have me transfered to Houston, Tx. We discussed several strategies on visa types. He explained in an excellent way the pro´s and con´s. During the application process we faced several issues with the Frankfurt Con...sulate but with his support we were able to overcome all the difficoulties. I would definitely hire him and his Team again!

The best lawyer

Adam Vega is definitely one of the best immigration lawyers in Houston. He solved my immigration case which was previously messed up by a bunch of different attorneys very efficiently and professionally. It was a great pleasure to work with his office - they always reply to your phone calls and email...s very quick, answer all your questions in a professional way, provide with a copy of any correspondence or documentation regarding your case and keep you in the loop of the status of your case and their work on it. Being quite desperate I was very happy that I found such an excellent lawyer whom I can totally rely on. Huge thanks to Adan Vega!

Any visa to visit my ill husband

The response of Mr Adan. G. Vega brought big happiness to me. I didn't know which visa to apply to visit my ill husband. He reassured me that I could apply for any visa to go. Big reassurance. Very helpful attorney. God bless him.

I-130 petition for preference relative(F4)

He is was very professional and straight to the point but failed to capture the entire question asked. I was advised to consult an attorney for further information. This left me hanging.

Replied last April 25, 2017

You are certainly welcome to visit again and I can address all issues related to the relative petition regarding the F4 classification. Normally, this type of case will not be resolved for at least 12 years or more depending on the country of origin. I encourage other options due to the time factor. I am open to discuss this further with you.

Helping to change lifes

This was my 2nd time trying to fix my status,and the first one was a complete disaster, no one knows what to do,and at the end, my own lawyer was deported to his country,,that was shocking.after a few interviews with other lawyers,I found the offices of mr.adan vega,. Since the first time,when I bri...ng all my info,and ask him if he can make it happen,,,he checked my case and said...is not going to be easy,,but definitely there is a lot we can do with your case and succes.after that day he send me with his staff of lawyers , they always answer any question I have,even the same questions several times until I understand and be sure what was I doing,they were to easy to work with and very specific and clear on every step needed,they never give up on me,even when I tried to cancel once due the time that immigration offices take to response sometimes,,,they request exactly what is been necessary to complete every form requirements,,and suddenly,,the day for my council interview came,,,I can tell I was freak out,because of all the news, new president, and what I heard from other people,but they always push me for the best,and gave me as much clues they can to be ready and get my residence,,those were very tough days in CD Juarez waiting for the prints,the physical test,vaccines until I had the last Interview and all and everyone of the steps were exactly as they described to me,,all the times ,and appointments were mechanical matched,,always very good prepared for my lawyer and the professional staff,,,I did MAKE it,,now I have my immigrant residence,,I am thankful to hired Mr.Adan Vega ,,and i can recommend them 100%,,i have a very SPECIAL mention to the lawyer Paloma Reyna from his staff,she was very helpful and the perfect guide to me to accomplish my "Sueño Americano ". Again,thanks to everyone and see you soon for my citizenship tramites!.

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.”
