I give thanks to God for my gift. Mr. Haddad helped me clear up something I had done many years ago that might have hurt my immigration case. Everything he did for me he did very well. I am very thankful. I hope that God blesses you, Mr. Haddad, and that you continue making families happy. I wish you this on behalf of myself and my entire family.

I'm very happy how the team of this office and San Antonio USCIS handled my case. Very nice and professional. Como se diria en España "Me trataron como a una reina."

Our experience was very smooth. The lawyer/office was very helpful every step of the way. We never felt we were being pressured. Although we tried to do everything we could and as fast we could the office never pressured us at all. We actually felt they were trying to help us and not just take our money. The office people were very courteous and helpful to us as well. As a whole, I would refer anyone I know to them.
