Israel is a great attorney for me and my family. He is compassionate, kind, and always willing to help. He is a great listener as well. He successfully helped me through my complicated immigration case. I admire Israel's thoughtfulness and thorough nature in filling papers as well as when responding to requests from USCIS. His pleasant demeanor is shooting in times of anxiety and distress relating to immigration issues. I therefore strongly recommend Israel to any one with needs of an attorney. By Yankuba

Very responsive and helpful Attorney Mr. Israil represented me in migration case. My experience with Mr. Israil Gobena has been a markedly different one. The key positives are that he is proactive with your case, keeps you informed about proceedings before you have to ask him and has no problems spending time with you to answer your questions and concerns. I will go back to him for my immigration needs in a heart beat. He was super helpful for us -- he was well prepared, and was very much in communication with us through-out the process.

I have known Israel Wondimu Gobena for over 10 years as an Attorney and as an active and respected member of the community. I had hired him personally in 2008 for an auto accident case involving another car, in which I had medium injury and total loss of my car. Israel Wondimu Gobena( Gobena & Associates, Attorney) have been very professional during my first visit, documented how and when the accident took place, asked relevant questions, and explained clearly the course and procedures going forward before I signed a service agreement with him. After compiling all the necessary information, and after several months of deliberation, he was able to prove that the other driver involved in the accident was the one that caused the accident, and I was awarded with commensurate renumeration for the personal injury and for the replacement of my car. During this time, Israel Wondimu Gobena returned my phone calls, received me in his office on short notice, and courteously responded with very satisfying clarity. In 2011 - 2012, as the executive director of the Oromo Community of Minnesota(OCM), we hired Israel Wondimu Gobena( Gobena & Associates) to help resolve a Civil Litigation case in which the OCM and its Executive Director (myself) were wrongly accused. This Case was also successfully resolved in the middle of 2012, and the OCM is cleared of the charge. Again, Israel Wondimu Gobena has been very professional and courteous, very knowledgeable. He always kept us up to date on the status of the case. In addition, over several years, I have made referrals to Israel Wondimu Gobena ( Gobena & Associates) many clients in the community be it case involving, Immigration, Insurance, Family disputes, and others. In all these instances, I have heard from many clients who testified that they are very satisfied at his professionalism, undersatnading , and support they have been provided, and that their cases were in excellent hands. Israel Wondimu Gobena is also a multi- cultural/multi- lingual attorney with extensive judicial/legal background in Ethiopia, and is well respected by clients as well as community members. Thank you for the opportunity to evaluate him.
