Immigration

We recently won a very difficult and a serious immigration case thanks to Mark Oxford. We almost lost our hope in winning this case and thought we would have to return to our homeland. However, Mark Oxford helped us win this case! We are very grateful for Mark Oxford's efforts, smart decisions, and q...uick actions. We have only the best things to say about this lawyer. If anyone asks me to recommend a lawyer, I would highly recommend Mark Oxford. We really appreciate all the help and support he provided to us in this difficult time. Thank you, Mark.

Truly Greatful

Never in my life did I think I would be in the situation that I am. My name is Irene and I am a nurse. In March of 2015 I received a DUI. Devastated beyond belief was the situation that I put myself into! Mark Oxford from "The Oxford Law Firm" represented me. Right from the start, Mark was... extremely attentive to me during my very difficult and emotional times. He was supportive of my "panic attacks" and he knew just what to say to calm me down. He repeatedly assured me that everything would be OK and that he would handle everything. Mark immediately took control and contacted the Nursing Board. He made sure that they had every report, form, Notarized Affidavits, etc that were needed. In fact he sent extras "just in case." I can assure you that Mark Oxford goes "above and beyond the call of duty" for his clients. Mark Oxford is an incredible attorney and an all around great guy! I do not hesitate in the least to recommend Mark Oxford for any of your legal concerns.

Avvo Rating

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.
