Wish I could give this business a 10 star rating for the level of service my wife and I experienced. After finding the love of my life and getting married, I deeply feared that we could be potentially separated due to her immigration status. I did my research and could not find any solid answers of t...he government’s process or a timeframe of how long the process will take to obtain a “green card”. I was also made aware of scammers who claim to help immigrants with their immigration process but have no legal credentials and take your money with no results. We reached out to the professionals at De La Garza Law and set up a consultation with LEO and he educated us on the entire process and what to expect. After moving forward with the process we worked with Bernadette who was so kind and worked very hard on our case to obtain my wife’s residency in an unbelievably quick time frame. Now my wife and I can focus on our business plans together and enjoy traveling with peace of mind. We are so blessed to have found this honest group of lawyers and look forward to working with their law firm in the future.

From H1B to green card

I worked with De la Garza Law Firm to help me obtain my green card. They were on top of every detail & had great communication to clarify this lengthy & complex process. On top of that, she understood my economic struggles, but was willing to help me above & beyond by setting up a payment plan, after... Ms. De La Garza filed for another H1B extension. I know that every case is different, and mine was supposed to be about a year minimum, however! My documents were sent & received much faster than I expected!! Highly recommend it.

Best immigration lawyer in town!

Leo is the man of the match,an attorney that you want handling your immigration case.Even though I had a complex immigration history and was going through a difficult time after losing my mother, he made the citizenship application process so much easier for me. When explaining all the steps of the p...rocess , he was clear and upfront about what to expect . Above all, I appreciate his honesty. Thanks to his help ,I got approved for my citizenship and now I am proud to be a citizen of the greatest nation on earth. If I ever meet someone that needs an immigration lawyer, I would definitely send them his way. Thank you again Attorney Leo.

Amazing Lawyer

We're grateful for finding Leo, his outstanding, professional, and knowledgeable. He's been working on my spouse's immigration status. We know it can be stressful; however, we could not be happier with the service received from Leo and his law firm. We highly recommend Leo and his team!

Highly recommend!

I worked with Leo on my green card renewal process and was very satisfied with the service. Right off the bat, I was able to tell Leo cares about his clients and wants to provide the best service possible. He was also very knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions I had. He stayed on top... of everything and managed to make the process as least stressful for me as possible. I would totally recommend Leo to anyone who is looking for immigration service.

"Mr. De La Garza’s knowledge and understanding of Immigration Law is second to none. He is always thinking of the best ways to get his clients what they need, whether it is coming to the U.S. on a work visa, being prepared for an immigration marriage interview, or representing a client in a deportation proceeding to help that client stay in the country. I know that if a client needs help, Mr. De La Garza is there to do whatever is necessary. Few attorneys are as accessible as he is to his clients. Even if the smallest matter needs attention, he ensures that the matter will be handled. He is a talented lawyer and a great person. I highly recommend and fully endorse Mr. De La Garza."
