"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.

They sent the dealer I bought a car from a demand letter without my knowledge and I don’t even know how he got my information I don’t know how this is legal. I only found out from the dealership. Kasra Sadr was doing all of this behind my back trying to get money from the dealer I bought a car from. I never knew this lawyer before I got notification about a demand letter sent on MY BEHALF?? WITHOUT MY CONSENT. This is absolutely INSANE! What a low thing to do. There is nothing wrong with my car and I have NO IDEA how he got my information. Then he tried to convince me to sue the dealership and that I could “make a lot of money” since my car has been in an accident according to the auto check. But I already knew this when I bought the car and literally signed for it so there was NO POINT in trying to sue them for something I already knew about at the time of the purchase. He not only violated my privacy by getting my information, but also tried to get me to falsely sue the dealership when they did nothing wrong and disclosed everything to me. I DONT RECOMMEND AT ALL!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!

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.

Do NOT Use this firm theyve scammed me upwards of $10,000 by collecting the money and have not done a single thing and they don’t communicate for months upon months read the other reviews as well. They do the same thing to others I was promised so much and they have not done a single thing. My lawyer didn’t even show up to my court date and said he sent somebody else. I have my life endangered and he was supposed to help me get a restraining order. It has been two months since he has gotten back to me. I have had Sean as my lawyer for a year and he has only lost me everything with no communication.

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!

This review is long overdue. A dissolution is an extremely emotional and draining process period. The best thing you can do for yourself and for your child may not just be to get a divorce, but to work with a firm that genuinely cares about your circumstances and will fight tooth and nail for you. I get emotional just reflecting on how much more I got out of my dissolution than I could have ever imagined if it weren’t for Paul, Liz, and Linda. These 3 ARE the light at the end of the tunnel.
Who you work with MATTERS, especially if you’re involved in a high-conflict divorce with children involved. Do what’s best for yourself and your children and retain this firm. I am writing this with tears because of how grateful I am to have these 3 incredible attorneys by my side every step of the way.

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!

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.

I couldn't be more grateful for her professional expertise and assistance helping my family and I navigate through the complex legal system. Heather is very knowledgeable and can tell her efforts with staying up to date with new and changing laws in order to provide the most appropriate legal guidance. What I most appreciate about Heather is her promptness in responding to questions and/or concerns, professionalism and her genuine desire to help those that seek legal support. For these reasons and more, I would highly recommend Heather.

Heather took care of my case last year to apply for a green card since my husband is American and we needed to go through the process. I contacted Heather because a friend of mine told me she was the best and I found her info in the Internet. She communicated with us through emails or if we called her, she would call us back. Everything went well and I have my green card now. We’re very pleased and grateful to her and we’re planni to hire her again when time comes to apply for the citizenship.

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.
Trust me guys I recommend Mariana to any one who needs help and don’t look some one’s review who don’t have patient and reviewed non sense.
I want to say big thanks to Lazaren who helped through my case process as well.
God bless Mariana and her office 🤲🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏

He not only violated my privacy by getting my information, but also tried to get me to falsely sue the dealership when they did nothing wrong and disclosed everything to me. I DONT RECOMMEND AT ALL!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!

My review is not directly about the firm as I believe that their billing methods can be improved and be more transparent. My review is about Attorney Michael Gibson. He is a top Attorney with extensive knowledge, very understanding and sensitive to his clients and with excellent writing skills. Highly recommended.

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

The worst attorney out there, all she did was take my $10,000 desperately at that. She did nothing to work on my fathers case, all Mary did was take my money and didn’t work on NONE of my fathers criminal case from 2021 to now (9/9/24) still NOTHING heard back from her. DO NOT HIRE THIS LADY, she is definitely on something, all over the place and is only ready to take your money. So unprofessional.

This lawyer was hired to fight a criminal case for immigration purposes. She said she would work to fight the case and file "motions" to get the criminal charges re-evaluated. Throughout the two years of her doing nothing, I asked for updates and she always had a rude response saying she would "let me know when she had updates." I had to go to the court myself to get updates. She never did anything and failed to fight the cases within the timeframe for the visa application. Needless to say, she should have been honest upfront if she was going to be able to do this in a timely manner OR do it at all.

I highly recommend Attorney Salim to anyone looking for Asylum and immigration services in California. He represented me at the immigration court and helped me win my prolonged and delayed asylum case.
Unlike some other immigration firms, he worked 1-1 with me on the details of my case and was always responsive to my queries. His staff members were courteous as well. Thank you for all the hard work Attorney Salim and team.

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.

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.
- Preparing asylum cases: Assisting clients in applying for asylum based on fear of persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
- Handling citizenship applications: Helping lawful permanent residents apply for naturalization and ensuring they meet all the legal requirements for U.S. citizenship.
- Employment-based immigration: Assisting employers with the process of sponsoring foreign workers for temporary or permanent visas, including H-1B, L-1, and EB-1 through EB-5 visas.
- Representation in immigration interviews: Preparing clients for immigration interviews and attending interviews at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices.
- Appealing denied applications: If a visa, green card, or citizenship application is denied, a lawyer can file appeals or motions to reopen or reconsider the case.
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.
How Much Does an Immigration Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an immigration lawyer varies based on the type of legal service required, the lawyer's experience, and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:
- Visa applications: For help with visa applications (e.g., H-1B, L-1, F-1), legal fees may range from $2,000 to $7,500, depending on the complexity and the type of visa.
- Green card applications: Fees for family-based or employment-based green card applications typically range from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the case.
- Deportation defense: For defending clients in removal proceedings, costs can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case and how long the case takes.
- Asylum cases: Asylum applications may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on whether the case is defensive (in removal proceedings) or affirmative (not in removal proceedings).
- Citizenship applications: Legal fees for filing a naturalization application usually range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the client’s immigration history.
- Business immigration services: Fees for assisting businesses with employment-based visas (such as H-1B or EB-5 visas) often range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of costs and fee arrangements before proceeding with legal services.
Top Questions to Ask an Immigration Lawyer
Before hiring an immigration lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case effectively. Important questions to ask include:
-
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.
How to Check the Credibility of an Immigration Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable immigration lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their state bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific immigration law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in immigration law and have experience handling cases like yours.
- 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.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with an immigration lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Passport and immigration documents: Bring your passport, visa, and any documents related to your current immigration status.
- Family documents: If you're applying for a family-based visa or green card, bring marriage certificates, birth certificates, and proof of family relationships.
- Employment information: For employment-based visas, provide your employment contract, offer letter, or other documentation of your job.
- Criminal records (if applicable): If you have any criminal history, bring copies of court records and other relevant documents.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any prior immigration applications, visas, or issues with immigration authorities.
- List of questions: Prepare any questions you have about your immigration case, the process, costs, and the likelihood of success.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
