Our marketing agency has worked with Mr. Pimentel for almost three years and our experience with him has been consistently satisfying. He has been our attorney since we started our boutique marketing agency in Boca Raton back in 2014. He has addressed all our contract law and business litigation needs. Our agency has continuously depended on his extensive experience and knowledge in business law when dealing with contracts, contract negotiations and commercial transactions. Mr. Pimentel is an amazing attorney and I would especially recommend him to those managing start-up companies, small businesses, and even large companies in South Florida.

I have worked with Robin since meeting him almost 2 years ago, on a consistent basis. He first represented me in a criminal defense case, and was successful. In that matter, he was also very respectful, took a great deal of time to calm my fears and explain everything to me in detail, and did not even give me the opportunity to feel embarrassed about the situation I was in. As other reviewers have mentioned, Mr. Pimentel is compassionate to his clients, but also speaks plainly and to the point. Even if he has to repeat himself many times before he is understood by a panicked client. Since the successful resolution of my criminal matter, I have worked with Mr. Pimentel on various issues, everything from estate planning to contract issues to family matters. He is extremely knowledgeable in each of the fields he practices, extraordinarily hard-working, and very conscientious. And I would add, again, as others have noted, that he truly shows care to his clients, and has a great deal of integrity. He is completely trustworthy, will fight and work hard for his client, and will do so with a clear conscience and good heart. He will also be completely straight with you about what the expected outcome of the case may be, even if it is not what you want to hear. He does not waste anyone's time on frivolous matters. Beyond all that, he even managed to make me laugh at some of the darkest moments in my life. I would recommend him as well as the other two attorneys in his practice to anyone at any time - when I could only see things grimly. They at times work collaboratively, even to do something as simple to walk a frightened client into a courtroom. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Though I am mildly worried about doing so, because I don't want him to get so busy that he doesn't have time for my little life :). Intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated, diplomatic, and honest - everything one could hope for in an attorney.

There isn't a more delicate situation than one that involves ones child. When I came to Robin I was hoping that I could somehow resolve just that kind of issue. I had already gone to another Attorney and had little faith of anyone being able to fix my situation. I was impressed not just of the immediate attention that Robin gave my case; but, how he handled my case with heart. He didn't treat my case as just a legal issue. He reached out and took the time to tap into the human aspect of the parties. He resolved my issue, and I will forever be grateful that his professionalism saved my child from having to be caught in this terrible situation any longer. I can't repay that.

We met 3 years ago. He has been a great advisor for real estate deals and corporate structures. He really commits to his clients, and is always prompt for a phone call or a late email response. He is truly meticulous at finding the right solution for any issues. I know he is also very experienced in Inmigration, but I haven't hired him for that (yet). By the way, he is fluent in english, french and spanish, which is a plus for international clients like myself. You can't go wrong with him counseling you!

Ms Sara Jackson always kept me and my spouse updated and informed during every step of the immigration progress.

Sara Jackson has provided me with excellent service with the U.S Immigration applications and processes involving my Brazilian mother and sister. The Immigration service requires a very complex details and long list of forms to U.S Citizen like me that can be very confusing because of unfamiliar terminology and many of countless Rules and Regulations of U.S Immigration Services.
To be truthful, "without" a Lawyer as current in the ever-changing Laws and Regulations as Sara Jackson who also takes the time to listen and understand what her client is facing, you end up delaying, cost of extra money and aggravations.
I feel both lucky and grateful to have the opportunity to work with someone as competent and professional as Sara Jackson.
She has served my needs and my family will certainly benefit because of her work.

We always felt good about her knowledge from the moment with sat down to talk with her, she knew the extend of the law with precision but what impressed me most was her attentiveness to our case and her listening skills which made this case very easy going. I recommend Sara because she is a very good attorney! Thank you Sara for your great work!

I have had several occasions to call on his legal expertise. Even though there have been times when what I needed was somewhat outside of what he would consider his legal specialty, he has risen to the occasion so thoroughly. I have found that he deals with my concerns compassionately, and with sincerity as if they were his own. Legal issues are so much more often than not a time of difficulty in a person's life, and the need for someone that you feel is identifying with your problem to the point that they will represent you like it is THEIR own caseto win or lose is ultimatly what is key in being successful. Too many lawyers look upon clients as a paycheck. Mikhael is always willing to go the extra mile. There truly is something to be said for that kind of integrity.

She truly gave us peace of mind. Whenever we had a question or concerns, she always took our calls and or either replied via email right away, if we had emailed her. My Wife and I owe her so many thanks and appreciation due to the fact that she handled our process so very well. We highly recommend Mrs. Pozo if you're in need of an Attorney. Thank you so very much Mrs. Pozo. You've made our lives complete. You're the Best!

Andrea has been the attorney for my visa for at least 2-3 cycles now, and every single time I am amazed by her expertise and guidance. What makes Andrea an excellent lawyer, however, is the compassion, care, and kindness she shows. She talks to you as a person rather than just another case. She helps you stay focused yet calm. The most recent renewal was a testament to being patient, and I believe it would have been difficult for me to manage without Andrea's support and promptness in addressing things that would have otherwise caused me concern. I would recommend Andrea 100% to anyone seeking her services.

I generally never write reviews online, but felt the need to express my gratitude towards the amazing services I received from Mr. Regojo. I was referred through a colleague of mine who was a regular client of Mr. Regojo, and I have recently opened a small retail shop in South Miami. Mr. Regojo took the time to answer all of my questions patiently and took me through the process of opening my first store, registered my business, and drafted a partnership agreement between my sister and me, all at a very reasonable cost. I have worked with attorneys in the past and have never received the type of customer service that I've gotten from Mr. Regojo.

What an Immigration Lawyer Can Do for You
An immigration lawyer specializes in helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate the complex immigration process. These lawyers provide legal guidance on various immigration matters, such as obtaining visas, gaining permanent residency (green cards), applying for citizenship, and defending clients in deportation or removal proceedings. Immigration lawyers also assist with employment-based immigration, asylum applications, and resolving issues related to visas or immigration status.
Whether you're trying to immigrate to the U.S., facing deportation, or sponsoring an employee or family member for a visa, an immigration lawyer can help you understand your legal options and navigate the often complicated legal system.
When Should I Hire an Immigration Lawyer?
Hiring an immigration lawyer is beneficial in many situations where you are dealing with U.S. immigration laws, whether for personal or business reasons. Common reasons to hire an immigration lawyer include:
- Visa applications: If you need assistance applying for a visa, whether it's a work visa (H-1B), student visa (F-1), or tourist visa (B-1/B-2), a lawyer can help ensure the application is properly completed and submitted.
- Green card applications: If you're seeking permanent residency, an immigration lawyer can guide you through the process, whether through family sponsorship, employment, or the Diversity Visa (lottery) program.
- Deportation or removal defense: If you’re facing deportation or removal from the U.S., a lawyer can defend your case in immigration court and seek to prevent removal.
- Asylum applications: If you’re seeking asylum due to persecution or fear of persecution in your home country, a lawyer can help you prepare a strong case and file for asylum.
- Family reunification: If you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident looking to bring family members to the U.S., a lawyer can assist with the family sponsorship process.
- Citizenship and naturalization: If you're ready to apply for U.S. citizenship, a lawyer can help you navigate the naturalization process and ensure you meet all the requirements.
- Business immigration: If you're an employer seeking to hire foreign workers, a lawyer can assist with employment-based visas, labor certification, and compliance with immigration regulations.
- Special immigration categories: Immigration lawyers also handle complex cases, such as visas for victims of human trafficking (T visa), crime victims (U visa), or those seeking Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Hiring an immigration lawyer early in the process can help you avoid delays, errors, and possible denials due to incomplete or incorrect applications.
What Does an Immigration Lawyer Do?
An immigration lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients with their immigration needs, whether personal or business-related. Their tasks often include:
- Assisting with visa applications: Helping clients fill out and submit visa applications, ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate.
- Filing for green cards and permanent residency: Guiding clients through the process of applying for a green card, including family-based, employment-based, or other forms of residency.
- Defending against deportation or removal: Representing clients in immigration court who are facing deportation and working to prevent removal from the U.S.

How Are Immigration Lawyers Paid?
Immigration lawyers generally charge for their services based on the type of immigration case and the complexity of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Flat fee: Many immigration lawyers charge a flat fee for specific services, such as preparing a visa application, green card petition, or citizenship application. Flat fees help clients know upfront what the legal costs will be for a particular service.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases, such as deportation defense or appeals, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and the complexity of the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing immigration matters, some clients may need to pay a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
- Pro bono or sliding scale: Some immigration lawyers or nonprofit organizations may offer free or low-cost services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in asylum or humanitarian cases.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the costs and payment arrangements.
