Great personalized service!

We worked with Mariela to bring our nanny with us to the USA for an extended timeframe, and she was extremely supportive with the entire process, ensuring that we had all of our paperwork in order and even holding preparatory phone calls so that our nanny would feel comfortable for the interviews. I... would highly recommend working with her as she also problem-solves to find the best possible solution and gives you options as a client.

Honestidad y sinceridad

Hola .. Mi nombre .Julian Quisiera compartir mi esperiencia que tuve con la abogada Mariela ... Tuve una entrevista con Ella me dijo cueles eran mis opciones, fue sincera con migo me abla derecho no me dijo mentiras. Algo de Lo que yo tengo muy presente es que siempre me mantenia informado de mi s...ituacion migratoria .. Ella Es una abogada dedicada a su trabajo, pues gracias a su trabajo y dedicacion puedo decir que soy un recidente mas de Los estados unidos . gracias por todo Mariela . Que si la rrecomiendo .. Claro que sin pensarlo te la rrecomindo por su dedicacion y sinceridad y su arduo trabajo .... I'm Julian's wife Brittney, we've worked closely with Mariela since "2011" during that time Mariela kept us very informed and gave us excellent legal advice to best suit our family. When we hired Mariela we lived in Wyoming and traveled to Colorado a few times for meetings we later moved to Utah and Mariela scheduled regular Skype meetings to keep us connected. This was a very personal, and hard process but working with Mariela made things easier, she was very available and got back to our questions in a timely manner and helped us ease our concerns and fears. As a result of having her as our legal representative my husband has recently returned from Mexico with his citizenship! She helped make our future brighter and kept our family together.

An Absolutely Outstanding and Honest Attorney

Mariela and her law staff did an outstanding job on a difficult immigration case for our family. She was methodical, detailed and kept us informed every step of the way even though we were in Washington State and she was in Denver Colorado. She worked hard and tirelessly for us. Her efforts resulted ...in my son-in-law coming back to the US from Guatemala as a legal resident. He soon will have his green card and a valid social security number. He just completed his bachelor's degree in Business and can support his family (two small boys born here and my US born daughter). Mariela was well versed in the law and made sure as things were changing through executive order she remained plugged in for our case. One thing she did that really saved us significant time and money was to be sure we sent my son-in-law in plenty of time to get his out of county physical. This turned out to be very good advice as it took much longer than planned and without her foresight he would have missed his interview date at the consulate. This is the type of attorney you get with Mariela. She really does care.....!!! Our incredible experience and the positive outcome would not have been possible without the work of Mariela. I would highly recommend her for any and all of your immigration needs. She is just the best both personally and professionally. On behalf of our family Mariela..... our many thanks and good wishes. My very best regards..... Duane, Terry, Wilton, Amanda and boys

Cannot be more satisfied!!

My immigration case has been pending for SEVERAL years, Mariela was able to resolve it in less than a year & it was nice to walk into court room with attorney that is well respected by the judge. She was EXTREMELY helpful and professional. She could relate to my concerns and made me feel confiden...t that I was in great hands. She is a great attorney in every aspects! Not to mention she has a great team of wonderful staff and associates! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anybody. If you have any legal issues, please DO NOT hesitate to contact Mariela. She is a GREAT criminal, family, civil lawyer too!
