Amazingly efficient, personal and honest

I owe Mariela my new life! She worked on my case and made the impossible happen on a time crunch. Now I finally have my Green Card after years of agony and having other lawyers tell me they could not help me. I can confirm other reviews that speak highly about her efficiency and knowledge but would... like to add how personal and caring she really is. I felt that she really cared about my case even calling me at night when most are not working to give me updates and to make sure I did what I was supposed to. She was there with all the help and advice I needed at every step of the way and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a proven lawyer you can trust.

Sharp,Quick and Direct.

I hired Mariela basically based on good reviews I had seen about her and she did not disappoint. She helped me out with my work permit and got it all done in a timely manner . Mariela seems to be very experienced with immigration cases and I'm very pleased the way she handled my case. Mariela doesn't... beat around the bushes and conduct herself very professional and direct. I highly recommend her .

Highly Recommended

Was very surprised to receive my green card a lot sooner than I expected. Once I hired Mariela the entire process was handled seamlessly. Couldn't be more satisfied. Highly recommended.

Very professional, very easy to work with..

I worked with Mariela at ILOLA Law Firm; she helped me write my declaration for my case and prepare my application package. During the process, she was really good at analyzing things and expressing them in a proffesional manner. She works hard to keep the deadlines which makes her reachable at all t...imes; I believe it is a very valuable aspect in working with lawyers. She pays attention to bring out the little things/information that can help your case. I really appreciate her help with my case and its recent approval.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
