Life Saver

It’s amazing how Andrea Garcia gave me and my husband hope. My husband was detained in ICE facility. I was just one week from delivering a newborn baby and I was resting at home when I receive the worst call ever “your husband has been detained he’s know with ICE!” I don’t wish this on anyone !!! :( ...specially just coming out of the hospital. One thing I say is what do you do when there is a thousand immigration lawyers out there ? Which one do you choose ? And you hear people saying this lawyer just charged me a lot of money and ran and he was deported !! So what do I do ? I panicked ...I made phone calls and then I was referred by a lot of good federal public defenders in Los Angeles that she was a good lawyer so I gave it a try I was nervous because it’s a very hard decision to hire a good lawyer.. It’s very true what everyone said !!! I was shocked and surprised what happened Andrea not only got my husband out in bail but she studied in detail my husbands case and does what other lawyers don’t do she pays attention and treats the family and client like family. She’s trustworthy and doesn’t make money from clients because she cares for them. She took my husbands case when so called good immigration lawyers out there told me he would be deported because he’s case was complicated but these lawyers didn’t want to waste time on my husband they just wanted to make money. I was frustrated and very depressed. These lawyers where so negative and didn’t care about my husbands case, but Andrea was so positive and was very professional and knowledgeable and knew the immigration law good. She said she will take the case and she studied the case in detail and the efforts of her and her commitment paid of good !!! I’m so blessed and proud to say that my husband is know home with me and my baby. I highly recommend her she saved my husband from being deported she fought for my husband in court and she cares for her clients. If she could help my husband from being out of jail and he’s case is very complicated she can help anyone . Her prices are very inexpensive. I thank God for sending a Good immigration lawyer in this world and for giving her knowledge and intelligence because we need a lawyer like this in the time of need when this government is deporting people that cannot defend themselves. I can continue but won’t finish of how good she is . Thank you Andrea for bringing and uniting our family together and I know you will unite other families as well. God bless :)

Immigration Case

She did an amazing job at helping me get my residency few years back after a complicated case. She made it easy for me and fast. I became a citizen about a month ago and I am about to hire her again to bring my mother and siblings.

Attorney Andrea Garcia helped my family.

Attorney Garcia helped my family through a difficult time. She worked in an expedited manner. Ms. Garcia was able to resolve our issue in El Salvador and helped my aunt enter the US with a Humanitarian Visa. While she was not my aunt's attorney at the time of her departure. Ms. Garcia after learning ...my aunt's situation prepared the proper documentation and provided us with direct instructions. We were able to have my aunt home in less then 10 days. Ms. Garcia's expertise is evident in her amazing work. We highly recommend Ms. Garcia.

Amazing Attorney

My experience with Andrea Garcia was amazing, she is completely there for you and always keeps you informed of your case. I never thought that we could win our case because it was a very extremely difficult one, but with Andrea expertise she made it happen. All I can say is that she is a great attor...ney and knows how to get it done.
