"Attorney Goldshmidt and her team at Holstrom, Block & Parke are outstanding professionals. Taylor and Brandy are my top choice if I ever need legal assistance again. Taylor was incredibly responsive to my needs, clearly explaining each step of the process. I highly recommend Holstrom, Block & Parke to anyone seeking a skilled and reliable family law firm."

Taylor Goldschmidt, Esq. is a tough, competent, honest attorney with a heart. I searched for attorneys in San Diego County and sadly those attributes weren't easy to find. During my stressful, conflictual situation, Taylor was a true advocate. Whether she was delivering the punch in court, or in tough legal documents, she excelled. Taylor's creative solutions left the opposing side in retreat. Whenever the situation escalated, Taylor was always right there. Taylor Goldschmidt is more than an attorney when you need representation.

Attorney Taylor Goldschmidt and her team Brandy and Kelley are absolutely amazing! They are knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. They helped me navigate my divorce process and custody situation. There were many times when I called in tears, and they comforted me and discussed strategic next steps. I am very happy with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Holstrom, Block & Parke.

Michelle is amazing,
Having to deal with my legal issues was stressful. I don’t know what to expect. When I met Michelle for the first time she was easy to talk to, answered all my questions and explained how things would go each step of the way. She was always available to answer my questions. I feel like she worked really hard to help
the judge understand my situation and took time to write an extensive client report that was helpful and supportive to my case. I often refer her to my friends and family. I hope I never need her again, but if I do I would definitely work with Michelle!

Erik represented me during my case, and his actions kept me out of custody. 2 years later, he has continued to be an excellent resource.
I was nervous about asking to travel out of state for a family member's wedding, but Erik put me at ease, represented me for a special hearing, and was able to help me get permission to travel.
If you need help, Erik will do his best to help you. And his best is pretty damn good

The are basura I just recommended this service the case a year ago and it’s still waiting. Mi friend said I’m waiting and waiting and the said the lost the paper work I don’t know and it looks like this one is like a scam so him pay in full so they can make more faster service but still I don’t don’t get any results. They say the need more paperwork for him so don’t even send the applications to the usis . The have before other real lawyers have it before they take care quickly. The only thing they can not do more because that step 2 are frozen but with this services of Narciso just only take you money at time, maybe can be more faster I you hire real one .. still no answer no clue and I have a answer for different lawyers. They have in his network I never the only first time to talk to the original Narciso. It was the time I open the case I was by video conference since that time I don’t know nothing about it so check first before you use the service maybe help you but in this case is the first time it’s like frozen and no answers and I tried to cancel but you money never get back be aware no pay in full I don’t see any service done. I don’t have any communications in sometimes they said all the people have your case. It’s no longer working here in blah blah blah, but I’m happy anyways be aware May is scam

My experience with this immigration attorney has been extremely disappointing. When I met him for the first time, he said if USCIS allows him, he will come to the interview with me, but unfortunately he didn't. This lack of commitment and representing me on the phone had severe consequences for my case. The officer hanged up on him and didn't approve my case. USCIS asked me for some documents that I didn't know where and how to get them. In respond of my help to get the documents, this attorney simply told me that he can not help and he doesn't know how to solve it. It was the moment I felt vulnerable and not supported. Then I paid another immigration attorney who gave me the answer I was looking for quickly. He seems nice and his price is good, but unfortunately his service is not good enough to help you. I do not recommend him at all.

Jonathan is a lawyer like none other! He is professional but also personal and caring. He is earnest and straight forward. He definitely goes the extra mile for his clients. Like another review stated: "He is the man!" And he is very reasonable in his fees.
He helped my wife get her green card. She was, putting it mildly, hella anxious about the interview. Jonathan put the anxiety and worries to rest. He very patiently discussed the various issues that may come up at the interview, and also those that would not.
With Jonathan's help we were well prepared.
Thank you so much for your time, patience, and sharing of insights.
Thank you
P.S. if you have legal needs that are not within Jonathan's field he is a fantastic source for like minded lawyers. Thank you again for your recommendations.

I highly recommend Mariana Lotfy Hanna, a well-known and experienced immigration attorney in Southern California. She has represented thousands of clients with an impressive success rate. I first met her in her office in 2023, where she generously provided a two-hour consultation free of charge as part of her contribution to the community. At the time, I was seeking an immigration attorney for my brother.
In 2024, when I needed an immigration attorney myself, I reached out to her again. She provided a 40-minute consultation without charging me. Her explanations were clear, and her advice felt like it came from an older sister. Mariana's humility and genuine care are evident in her work.
To my Somali sisters and brothers in need of an immigration attorney, I highly recommend Mariana Lotfy Hanna. Please remember that constantly calling her office or cellphone can detract from her ability to focus on your case. Instead, email her with any updates or questions. This approach will allow her to review and prepare your case more efficiently.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding the lack of progress in obtaining a green card or travel document for me. As a 72-year-old with health concerns, I have been clear about the need for regular checkups in my home country. Despite your assurances, none of this has happened, and you have stopped responding to my emails.
This situation has caused me immense stress and anxiety. I have had to visit the hospital multiple times without your support. Additionally, I was unable to be with my husband during his cancer treatment due to the lack of travel documents.
As a result of your lies and promises, I now owe $60,000 to the hospital. I am at a loss for what to do and feel very let down.
After a year and a half of waiting, the immigration department finally approved my case on July 24. Ten days later, they mailed my green card to you. It has now been two months, and you have not contacted me to inform me that you have received it.
I recently found out from the immigration department that you have, in fact, received my green card. They provided me with a tracking number that confirms this. When I came to pick it up, you lied and said you did not have it.
I am very disappointed with your lack of communication and honesty.

Rayana did an amazing job on my case. After the interview, I was told I would get a decision letter or a request for more evidence letter in the mail. The request for more evidence letter arrived and after talking to friends and family I decided to hire an immigration lawyer. Rayana was highly recommended by a friend. I didn’t even hesitate to hire her services. The entire process was very smooth. She did an incredible job and 3 or 4 weeks later my case was approved! Thank you so much Rayana! I will be referring you to anyone that is in need of an immigration lawyer!

No face to face meetings ever occurred, which might have been helpful. Failed to give us a good understanding of alternatives, such as options for getting documents notarized and instructions on how to transfer the house into the trust. Failed to provide accurate information, her supervisor had to intervene to correct. We really had to comb through the documents because there were many factual errors and typos. Overall did not provide the guidance and handholding we felt like we needed since we were novices to the process.

Deborah is an amazing lawyer that we've had the pleasure of hiring. She is thorough in her research & explanation given the complexity and niche character of our industry (software visualization & material exploration). She is insightful and provides detailed explanation of the cases/procedures at various levels which is needed given our non legal background. We covered trademarks mostly. Most importantly she is a good person and will guide you through the thorny processes in the legal world with minimal to no scratches. Normally people don't like lawyers, we love Deborah! we continue to work with her and would highly recommend her.

My husband and I wanted to reach out to you for helping us with a difficult situation. We constantly ran into road blocks until we reached you. We were extremely frustrated that no one was taking our position seriously until you. You made us feel like this situation was no different than a million dollar case. We had both traveled 1/2 way around the country (Michael twice) and excited about being near our son and grandchildren. We were blind sighted by an unhealthy home. We didn't know where to turn. You came along and with your persistence and perseverance we were able to resolve the situation.
We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done. You Deborah go above and beyond.
Michael and I are now able to move on with our lives and enjoy our children and our grandchildren.
Should we need Legal services in the future you will be hearing from us.
Once again Deborah Thank You.

Our case with immigration was extremely difficult. It lasted 7 years. Without Heather we probably would have given up. Heather is a hardworking, smart and knowledgeable attorney who is really caring about her clients. She is very attentive to details. When-ever we had a question or were worried about our case, all we had to do was call or e-mail her and she would always put us at ease. Words cannot express our admiration for Heather and everything that she has done for our family. We will recommend her a thousand time over and over again, because she is simply the best.

Thanks Allah for putting Mariana Hanna in may way
The words cannot express my admiration for Mariana and everything that she done for my case.
Mariana is an absolutely brilliant attorney “Talent counselor” her patience and ability to listen and understanding the problems is beyond human understanding!
My case was extremely difficult, Mariana worked with such care, dedication and professionalism that you can only find in books about unique lawyers. She was able to provide me with detailed advice on potential risks and options I have regarding my case matter.
My detention was difficult to come out. Mariana released me through bond and helped me to apply all work requirements, WP, Social and staff I needed.
Again Mariana saved my live and won my case Last week. Also I know she won 10 of my Freind’s case 🙏🙏🙏👍. Thank you for all efforts in my case and assisting me during that. It was pleasure meeting you and thank you for being so nice person. You will be in my heart ever.

I was uncomfortable from the first time I walked into the office. I felt like I was in the middle where they just grind out bankruptcies. I was not happy about filing a bankruptcy but it needed to be done. In the meantime things went from bad to worse my son died and I was in the hospital for a month. When I told them I really wanted to go with a different firm one of their employees told me that they would keep me in court to use all the money. I was talking about small claims court. She was almost yelling at me. I’m thinking about making a complaint with the state attorney board. But I warn you right now stay away from them. I am shortly going to be 74 years old. And the way she yelled at me it was almost elder abuse. I believe their shysters. And due to my failing health. I’ve been delayed and filing a small claims court. To my knowledge you cannot be represented by an attorney in small claims court. But apparently their employee thought differently. Beware

We hired Ms. Kleven and paid her thousands of dollars to process our immigration matter. She based the amount she charged us before she performed any work on what she estimated she may need to perform. After our application was approved, she did not perform a substantial amount of the work she told us she may need to perform. Despite this and our request for a partial refund, she refuses to refund the money for services she admits that she did not perform.

A friend needed to consult with a lawyer about how to flee her abusive husband and i was blessed to be able to get her in touch with Joe La Costa after she'd gotten some potentially fatal advice from another lawyer. Instantly responsive, thorough, and so kind, Mr. La Costa answered all her questions and thought of many different aspects she'd need help with and gave her step by step advice. May very well have saved her life. Very generous and helpful, he gave her quite a bit of time and it was pro bono (no fee, voluntary) and on a weekend. Just wanted to help her. Wonderful, wonderful man, I can't say enough how wonderful.

Do not hire Joe La Costa or the person that works with him Carlos Paredes. They told us that they were going to stop the sale on the foreclosure. They promised we will be in the property for at least another year and then we will work on getting a loan modification at 1% rate for 40 years.
He charges almost $2000 a month due on the first. It is the 20th of the previous month and he starts sending bills. He does not answer the phone normally unless is to collect the money.
He did not stop the sale. Then after the property was sold, he said we could be there at least 6 months and since the property supposedly was not sold "legally", he will have the sale reversed.
Well, these are all lies. Do not trust him or Carlos Paredes. He is also part of the scam.
We had a court day because eviction proceeding started and he never told us. The second time we had a hearing is when he told us to be there, at that point is when I realized that he was a scam and extremely disorganized. The judge on various occasion told him to have some ethics. He has an extremely bad reputation with the judges.
The attorney of the other party told me that they had another case in process with that Joe La Costa and his client also got a judgement against him.
Now, I have a judgement for almost $12,500 and he charged me almost $8000. One time he told me he needed to file a motion asap, I had to go to the bank and deposit $330 2 days before court. In court, judge said there was nothing filed. I took the money out of the bank account so the check will bounce. He never said anything about it because he knew he got caught with his lie. He just wanted to collect more money.
Now, 3 months after the foreclosure sale, the police came to evict us. We have our personal belongings in storage and living in a hotel. With the moving and hotel, we already spent almost more than $3000. Oh by the way, he is still sending bills via email.
He never gave us heads up about having to leave the property. When you speak with him or Carlos, they always tell you not to worry about it, that is part of the process when it is not. There are just empty promises that are never delivered.
Be careful with them. You will end up losing your house and costing you thousands of dollars.

I felt a little slimy with his tactics, but he got me the results I was seeking. Ge gets paid based on how long he can keep you in your home after a forclosure sale. Acts bumbling but the judges bend over for him because they feel he is incompetent and they don't want to see the client hurt.

SWithout the superb knowledge and ethics of Ms. Adams my life would be empty. My husband was serving time (almost 2yrs) in Federal prison and was innocent. His public Defender had no compassion and chose to not believe that my husband is a citizen. One phone call to Ms. Adams and he was released from prison within 24 hours. Accepting my phone call after hours and going above and beyond to rectify this huge mistake will never be forgotten. We now have a wonderful family and 3 beautiful children. After speaking with several attorneys and wasting too much money on attorneys that were afraid to debate the fact my husband was serving time due to a mistake I was petrified of the thought after his 10 year sentence was up and then getting deported I would never prove his innocence. The very first call to Ms. Adams was a life changing call. Its sad you always hear about the criminals on the news that do violent hurtful crimes but its a shame the news does not report about a wife with a 3 year old was told from a San Diego public defender she never returned my call to view the documents i had because her head was a mess due to a death in the family. I myself felt as if i also lost the one i love but i had to get up every morning and report to work and take care of our son. However, the day my husband was released she did walk up to him and hug him to apologize and make sure to tell us she did feel horrible and if we ever need her please do not hesitate to call her. Amazingly, i called her a few weeks ago. My husbands ssn got flagged yet again for a hold. Cant seem to understand why she doesnt remember us nor try to help. AGAIN, one phone call to...yes..you already know Ms.Adams. Again she returns my call, still remembers us from over 11 years ago. States she is extremly busy however she will help us. Once again, Ms. Adams knowledge,compassion and work ethics will keep my family safe from these horrid mistakes. Knowing she is the one who holds my familys destiny in her hands i can rest assure this issue will be resolved.

As you might be aware of that the Immigration attorney should possess not only the knowledge of US Immigration Laws but the knowledge of languages (Alex is trilingual), and cultural and background issues understanding the client and his/her needs. Mr. Markman fits perfectly in this niche and does a great job doing it on daily bases. He won my case which was more than complicated. With all my heart thanks to Mr.Alex Markman, his company and his family.
Good luck to you all,
sincerely, Grigori A. Gromov

Alexander Markman is a great lawyer, very knowledgeable in asylum matters. I spoke with 2 lawyers before but he is the only one who knows the conditions in your country off the top of his head and understands you best. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

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.

- 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 experience do you have with immigration cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s family-based immigration, employment visas, or asylum. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes, including any challenges you might face. -
How long will the process take?
Immigration cases can take time, so ask how long it may take to process your application or resolve your legal issue. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly. -
What documents do I need to provide?
Ask the lawyer about the documentation required to support your case, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or employment contracts.

- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle immigration cases.
- Check for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) can indicate the lawyer’s expertise and commitment to immigration law.
