Stay away - no contraten a este abogado.

If I could I would give him 0 stars. I know there is a good review here listed for him but I honestly think this was written by him. He is a horrible lawyer, does not seem to care for his clients. We hired him in November since a cousin was arrested in Arizona, when we spoke to him for the 1st time h...e was very nice and told us that in 6 weeks he will be out it has been 4 months and my cousin nor us have heard anything from him. We call almost everyday, leaving messages all the time and he never calls back and never is in the office. We have go to his office in an attempt to speak to him but he is never available. The secretary makes us wait all day and when we finally get to go in we are unable to speak to the lawyer, we only get to talk to the counselor. Every time we go to the office in an attempt to try to talk to him, we have to pay $50.00 to be seen but we never get to see him. It appears as tho he is only available for his clients until he gets paid and then he dissapears. Please find another lawyer do not let him take your money.

Deportation Case where I was in Detention and ready to depart the United States where my wife and children would have been left

I was detained in an Immigration Jail in Texas (Laredo). I already had a deportation order and in a matter of days I was supposed to go back to my country. He reopened my case despite the advised of other lawyers that this was impossible. Thanks to him I am back with my wife and children
