I highly recommend Mario Godoy law firm. From the moment I spoke with Mario himself until my attorney, Luke Manno, successfully handled my case, I was treated with compassion, professionalism, and honesty. They explained everything to me and instantly put me at ease. I cannot praise this firm enough. If you need a lawyer, you need someone who will not only fight for you but someone who will treat you with respect and take the time to walk you through a difficult time in your life. This is the firm!

Mother in U Visa case
May 11, 2017

Words cannot express how thankful I am to Mario Godoy for his sincere compassion and efforts in assisting me with obtaining my U Visa. While coming highly recommended to me by one of my friends, Mario's level of experience and professionalism exceeded even my greatest expectations. In addition to excellent skills and knowledge of the law, he was genuinely dedicated to my case and always available to me. Regardless of the time, every phone call and email was promptly returned. With each new circumstance that arose, Mario gave practical advice and necessary information in the context of knowing my case. He guided me through the long legal process and really made things go easier than I had anticipated. He never lost his patience, despite my frequent inquiries. He provided a support system and served as a mentor, exceeding the scope of what lawyers today are expected to do. Simply put, lawyers like Mario Godoy are truly and exceptionally rare. I would never hesitate to use or refer his outstanding legal services in the future. I am so grateful to Mario and his staff for their prompt and much needed attention and for obtaining a successful outcome. Thank you, Mario Godoy!

I am very satisfied with Mr. Godoy's service, from the time of my fist call to schedule an appointment to all the processes involved he was very polite and always on top of everything. I have to say that his team is awesome, they kept in touch with me often with updates on my case and I was able to get my permit renewed sooner that I though. I am very grateful for their help and will definitely hire his services again. Thank you.

I usually don’t have the time to write reviews, but this one deserves to be posted. After several lawyers didn’t wanted to take my case because it was “too complicated “, Mario stepped in and took it.Yes-my case was a little bit complicated, but not for Mario. He earned my trust and respect on the very first consultation. After he took my case he filled all the necessary papers and left no stone unturned until my case was dismissed. Today I feel great thanks to Mario, I don’t have a felony case anymore and my Immigration status is healthy. Mario really went above and beyond about my case, I was always in the loop of what’s happening and if there were any changes his office would contact to let me know. Overall I’m super satisfied with Mario Godoy and would recommend too all friends that I know and need a good lawyer.

Set an appoint with Mario this morning at 8:30AM. He reviewed my case carefully and pointed out the problem with my document. In addition, he represented several different ways to handle my case and showed me what are the pros and cons. He is honest and seems quite experienced with the immigrant issues. Very informative.
