He is the best. Not only he got me out of immigration, but also pay for my way back home. He is a great human being, besides being a lawyer./

I retained Kevin to represent me in my character and fitness hearing with the Washington State Bar Association. This is a limited area of practice and it was difficult to find counsel specializing in this area of law. I asked around in the legal community and Kevin came highly recommended from numerous sources. I found Kevin to be of expert competence in this area with a complete knowledge of the workings of character and fitness review and the laws pertaining thereto. He provided very effective counsel based in honesty and ethics. Kevin is the consummate professional, patient, and extremely level headed and maintained this approach consistently throughout the whole affair. He was able to craft a strategy to embrace my desire to be completely forthright with the board even if it meant disqualification, even embracing the idea as ethically sound regardless of outcome. His approach was brilliantly simple. And his billing on the matter was extremely fair and thoughtful and I felt extremely well cared for throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Kevin for any legal matter with respect to ethics, professional responsibility or in relation to the Washington State Bar Association proceedings.

We visited Manuel Rios for our consultation meeting, hoping to apply for DACA, then for permanent residence. He was poignant, clear, and his voice was utterly honest. From the start he explained the 'you could be approved' followed by 'if you were not approved, then we would...' emphasizing he didn't think so and if it did, we would encounter as it came. He was reassuring, but without encouraging the least amount of false hope, which made us feel safe and confident. The wait is tough, as many of you can and will relate. However, the one aspect that kept us hopeful and moving forward was his incomparable experience and insight into the systems of immigration. Every step along the way, countless of them, happened just as he had delineated. Almost, exactly as he said it could go, and I imagined if it went the other way, it would be as he had said it could go. This process went just as he said it would unfold. Manuel and HIS AMAZING team kept us focused and informed. They were exceptionally thorough and organized as the application grew in size from fe w pages to hundreds.Truly, I cannot find the words that express the level of gratitude we have for Manuel Rios and his Team. They are professional and most importantly, personable. His legal assistants were friendly and intelligent, and were always available to answer each and every one of our questions, as well as to provide realistic words of encouragement. I cannot imagine his daily workload, yet he did not fail to return one email or phone call to answer our questions. Whether himself or his team, I heard back within a day. This man works around the clock. He lets you know you are not alone, and that he is by your side. The best money we have spent, and truthfully, it was more affordable that I had imagined. I advice you to consult with him, does not matter how long it takes to see him, DO IT. Do not look elsewhere. If you follow his direction and instructions exactly as he says, you will win your case. I know this with unshakeable certainty, because his overwhelming experience. If you are reading this and contact his legal team, I know for a fact you will think to yourself one day, 'he was right'.

your reception sucks. i asked how many years of experience your firm had with immigration law, and he said he did not know and kept telling me come in for a consultation. i am shopping for a lawyer who i know i can trust by asking general questions (not case specific) most receptions or lawyers would know and not consider "legal advice". he kept telling me my questions were for the lawyers, but not every question i had was for legal advice, mind you.

Manuel is my attorney for a long time. My case was the most complicated process ever. I lost all my hopes, and I was just thinking to go back to my country, but he didn't let me do that. After a long battle he won my case. Nobody believed he could win it, but he did it. If you have simple or complicated immigration case in the US regardless of any state you located, and you want to go 100%, don't hesitate to hire Manuel. He will go beyond what you expect. I will be grateful for life what he did for me.

There’s no words to describe how great of a lawyer & person Manny is! He truly cares about his clients, which makes him even more wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and informative! He best prepares his clients for any case scenario. He is very straightforward, humble, and hardworking. Truly values & is passionate about what he does. My dad had a complicated immigration case, on the verge of deportation, but Manny did all he could & thankfully we won the case with all his hard work. Cannot thank him enough! My family and I appreciate him very much! I highly recomend him!

To sum it up, Mr. Rios, or short, Manny, was amazing for me. Not only intellectually brilliant because he knows the intricacies of the complicated immigration law as it applied to a complex citizenship application but also emotionally intelligent with an amazing dose of intuition and humbleness, openness, straightforwardness, sensitivity and HUMOR and respect. Despite that I challenges he made me crack up many times which I really aporeciated. There are good lawyers but many don't care. He cared! You cannot make people care. They don't teach that in school. People who don't care can miss opportunities for you, don't come to optimal solutions for you. But with him I'm convinced that because he cared he was able to make the right decisions for me at the right time. His greatness also showed through when he selflessly involved another lawyer to take over for me because it seemed best for me, not for him (!) in my situation. He acted truely SELFLESS and HONORABLE. He was able to think outside the box, was patient, smart and found a solution that involved great skill and perfect timing. Sometimes timing is really important. All the while we were having fun and were joking. He is a very busy man but always carves out time to respond to an email. I was also impressed by the quality of information and THOROUGHNESS with which he provided it in his emails. He documented critical questions with answers citing the applicable law so one can always refer back to it. This is extremely valuable because verbally I would not have been able to remember. This shows his greatness again in another way. Thank you Manny a million times for a successful job and all your future help in advance. Well done! :-)
