Quiero recomendar al Abogado Ángel Leal y su grupo de trabajo por hacer una maravillosa gestión en mi proceso migratorio, ya que fui víctima de estafa por otro grupo de abogados, el cual me hicieron perder mi estatus legal aquí dentro de los EEUU, con un alto índice de probabilidades de que fuera deportado, pero gracias a Ángel y su equipo tan profesional pudieron solventar mi situación y lograron regresarme mi estatus demostrando que realmente fui víctima. De verdad lo recomiendo como uno de los mejores abogados que puede haber.

Más de un día completo he estado ocupando mis neuronas en encontrar las palabras correctas para expresar el agradecimiento y el sentimiento de deuda hacia Maureen por su trabajo al representarme ante USCIS en los tiempos actuales, 2019-2020. Ese agradecimiento y sentimiento de deuda ha Maureen es tan extenso y profundo como el mar porque ella logró que mi petición I-485 (residencia permanente) fuese aprobada. Y lo más interesante: siempre sabía qué hacer y siempre confiaba en que lo que estaba haciendo era lo idóneo para el momento y la circunstancia en cuestión. Algo que no pude encontrar en otros bufetes o firmas de abogados, y lo digo en plural: en OTROS. Maureen logró que una petición que había sido enviada a permanecer sepultada en algún anaquel del Centro Nacional de Archivos (NRC, por sus siglas en inglés) fuese traída de vuelta al mismo ritmo de los demás procesos, que fuese revisada, y luego felizmente aprobada. Esto lo hizo reclamando las provisiones que están en la Ley Nacional de Inmigracion, no suplicando a USCIS, como otros muchos abogados planteaban que debía hacerse. Maureen llevo adelante el proceso con toda la razón propia de un profesional que conoce su profesión, y, además, con dignidad. Muy importante. Pero eso no es todo, cuando visite otros abogados, y no fueron pocos por cierto, me pedían villas y Castillas: mucho dinero, o lo que para mi resultaba ser mucho dinero. Y ellos lo hacían sin conocer a profundidad, o para mi caso particular, la ley Nacional de Inmigración, y queriendo darle a la petición un carácter de inferioridad en comparación s las demás peticiones de cubanos. Y otros abogados me decían que debía esperar 5 años porque así lo decía USCIS, porque así lo decía esa agencia del gobierno. Pero Maureen sabía que no debía ser así porque tenía conocimientos profundos acerca de la ley y de mi caso en particular. Fue así como ella me ayudó, y, por si fuera poco, me ayudó también con el pago necesario para llevar adelante la representación de mi petición. En resumen: Maureen defendió mis intereses como si fueran los de ella, y además lo hizo en el entendido de que se trataba de un inmigrante sin muchos recursos financieros y sin familia en Estados Unidos. Por todo esto: el inmenso agradecimiento y sentimiento de deuda hacia Usted. Muchas gracias! Ojalá los pobres podamos seguir contando Usted!

Maureen Porras was very knowledgeable about all the steps needed to be taken in order to process the paperwork for my relatives. This was not an easy case since it involved immigration courts and removal orders. But, Ms Porras handled everything with incredible professionalism and integrity.

I'm thrilled to write this review for Attorney Karem Hadjez, whom I had the privilege of working with before. She genuinely cared about my difficult case and impressed me with her ability to simplify complex legal concepts, making it easier for me to understand the complicated proceedings. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Karem to anyone seeking legal representation in family law. She ensures you feel seen and understood in the midst of the challenges.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Doral, Florida?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
