Paloma Reyna is the best!!

I want to thank the Adam Vega team for doing a awesome job in my Immigration case. I’m Now legal in this Amazing country. I met Mr Adam Vega one time and he was very honest and told us the game plan. After that Ms Paloma Reyna took over til the end when I got approved for my residency in Ciudad Juare...z, Mexico. Paloma prepared me for my visit in Juarez I was so anxious, She made the process in Mexico easy, She Told me exactly what to do I had Everything set up for me appointments everything I just needed to be there on time, Paloma is one of the best in the game. She was there through every step of the way and if I needed something I’d either call her EVERY WEEK literally or email her and she would respond asap. Not to mentioned the Adam Vega team also helped My Mother and Brother become legal years ago. I highly recommend The Adan Vega Immigration Law Firm.

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.

The best firm I have hired in Houston to handle my Immigration matters.

Even though the road was not easy, I’m really happy with the professionalism, honesty and legal knowledge they had to handle my case. After several lawyers and big firms I had hired before, I can say that this firm was the only one who really cares about their cases and the people. My special thanks... and recognition to Mr. Vega, Ms. Matilda, Mr. Fadel, Susie, Zuly, Paloma and every member of the firm that I was lucky to be assisted by.

Adjustment of Status denial

Was referred to Adan Vega following the denial of my work-based adjustment of status petition. The adjustment of status petition was denied because the immigration lawyer that my employer retained failed to file the petition correctly, as the eligibility to adjust status had not yet been reached when... they filed Form I-485. Adan Vega was very supportive during this difficult time and also came up with solutions that we are now implementing. I would highly recommend Adan Vega for any issues relating to immigration. Apart from having a deep understanding of all issues relating to immigration, he also has empathy for the situation one is going through.

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!

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.”
