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.

The team of Adam Vega was so attentive and helpful when my husband and I were working towards getting a green card for me. Eunice was always there to answer any question I had. She was always very informative. She made me feel like I could really just ask her anything, and didn't make me feel like t...here was such thing as a "dumb question". On the day of the interview that my husband and I had with USCIS Fadel was such great help. He was there with us on the day of the interview. It was really nice to know that there was someone there to guide us and to help us if any issues came up. When we arrived for the interview we didn't even have to wait in line the super long line because he had already signed us in. The whole team over all is great. I am writing this review because I know how important it is to feel like you are making the correct decision by hiring a trustworthy team. I want to let people out there know how well the team will take care of you. I really hope I can help someone make their decision of choosing Adam Vega because I know the team will get the job done right.

If your looking for Experts, stop here!

Without going too much into detail, my case was filled with complexities and delicate timeframes in order to qualify for US Citizenship. From the initial consultation, what impressed me the most was Mr. Vega's confidence in what steps in what order would be required for a favorable outcome. I had con...sulted with 4 different attorneys before coming to Mr. Vega's office. The way Mr. Vega was able to break down the sequence of events that led to my predicament and his knowledge of Immigration Law reassured me that I was at the right place to take my case. I am happy to say that I am now a US Citizen and couldn't be happier with the way Mr. Vega, Fadel, Susie, and Zuly treated me and handled my case.

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.”
