We hired Mathew around a year ago for a criminal deportation case that we have been dealing with the last 7 years and he was absolutely amazing. He was able to get the charges dropped in less than a year when our last lawyer worked on the case and had gotten nowhere in 6 years.

We did not end up hiring Atty. Luening, but we did go for a consult. He was very knowledgeable about the law -- we were trying to see if we could apply for my wife's papers. He told us that she would not be able to due to some past immigration record that she had. We originally were mad and we left Atty. Luening's office because we just wanted to believe that he didn't know what he was talking about. WE WERE WRONG. Other attorneys told us that my wife would have no problem getting her papers, regardless of her past immigration transgressions. My wife's application was cancelled and now she is in removal proceedings === we should have listened to Atty. Luening. He obviously knows what he's talking about.

We retained Atty. Luening in a Criminal Defense/Deportation Defense case. My brother was really in danger of being deported and Attorney Luening fought tirelessly to beat his criminal case and kept my brother here with his wife and his children. I can't say enough excellent things about Attorney Luening!!

I hired Atty. Luening to defend me in immigration court. I had an old criminal conviction that made me unable to get out on bond from immigration custody. Attorney Luening used his super knowledge of the criminal justice system to reopen and eventually get dismissed my old conviction. I could then get out on bond from Immigration Court. I would not be here in the United States if Attorney Luening had not agreed to take my case. He was a little expensive, but he really worked a miracle!! Well worth it!

My wife and i retained Atty. Luening to fix our papers based on an application filed by my brother in law in the 1990s. I thought everything was going to be easy, however, because of Abogado Mateo's strong knowledge of the law, he identified a potential problem with a previous marriage I had. He tirelessly investigated that, had to file a family law case, then continued with our case! We just got our green cards thanks to Atty. Luening's smart approach to our case.

Atty. Luening did a great job getting me my U Visa. Other attorneys did not want to take my case because the assault that happened to me happened so many years ago, but Atty. Luening dug deep into police and court records and was able to gather the necessary evidence in order to file my U Visa application. It took a long time, but that was due to government delays and not Atty. Luening. He just phoned me last week to notify me that my application was approved!

My son came to the US by himself, fleeing danger in Central America. We went and saw Atty. Mateo to help because they picked my son up at the border. Atty. Mateo took the case, charged us a very reasonable fee, and began working immediately on the case. We had my son's interview in January and today we received news that the case had been won!! My family is very grateful to Atty. Mateo for all of his hard work and dedication to my son's case. He very skillfully and masterfully navigated the law and the procedure to get us perfect results!!

I was in the custody of immigration for 9 months. I had been arrested for my 2nd DUI and a Hit and Run Causing Injury. These convictions I had were pretty severe. Atty. Luening visited with me MULTIPLE times while I was in custody of immigration -- he took his own time on Saturdays and Sundays to prepare for my final hearing. Because of Atty. Luening's hard work and dedication, we won my case in immigration court -- he was able to get me cancellation of removal and I will now be a permanent resident thanks to his expertise in the law and his very hard work.
