Today is a wonderful day for my family thanks in part to the efforts of Mr. Bernal. We have had a long journey and throughout that journey Mr. Bernal was informative, accommodating, patient, understanding, and has warm approachable manner. It was very pleasant to work with him and his staff it was never cold or rigid. Honestly, he made the process easy for us because the firm filed the necessary paperwork and he kept us informed about the process and the documents we needed to provide. When we encounter any issues he and his friendly staff helped us navigate through from beginning to end. Knowledgeable & delightful staff, first-class meeting ambiance, & desired results. We are exceedingly pleased all around. We found Mr. Bernal via a referral and we are certainly pleased with his work and the outcome and we would recommend him for your immigration needs. Forever grateful, Thank you Hernando

Hernando Bernal should be avoided at all cost, he has caused so many problems and pain for our family, it’s beyond shocking. He took over 1 year to file our E2 which was extremely expensive and very poorly done. Because it took such a long time after it should have been done, we received a request for evidence which no other attorney will touch, because there are so many fundamental errors in the first filing that it’s impossible to get it approved. We think Hernando knew that the filing was well below standard and opted to abandon the case, as soon as he had taken substantial payment. The business plan company was horrible to work with, and all of their work had to be checked and changed for grammatical and spelling mistakes. Our advice for anyone who has dealings or thinking of hiring Hernando, don’t! If you have signed up already, cut your losses and get a better attorney fast.

Why aren't we recieving phone calls back, after paying a lump sum amount and promised paperwork to be handled, this attorney ignores our phone calls and does not acknowledge us as clients...We have been using him for 2 months and the first 2 weeks he responded and after that no returned calls, and nothing completed.
