My name is Justin. After searching and consulting with many immigration attorneys I came across Mr, Mario S. Zapata who provided me with outstanding consultation. I was very pleased that he took the time to understand my situation and offered a honest advice and way forward. Before meeting Mr. Mario Zapata, three attorneys turned down my application and advised me that the best solution to my case is to leave the country but Mr. Zapata accepted my case and gave me a heart felt advice. Because of his outstanding work on my case I was able to remain with my family and subsequently receiving my green card. I am delighted to recommend Mr. Mario S. Zapata as an exceptional immigration attorney.

I have known Mario for over 10 years. I literally speak to him at least once per month to get some expert advise on an immigration matter. He is always helpful when I have cross over questions stemming from my exclusive practice in Criminal Defense. He is very thorough in his analysis and very honest as well. When referring him a wide array of immigration matters from deportation proceedings to citizenship applications, he is happy to assist. With an honest demeanor, and hard working mentality, I never hesitate to give out his name and contact information.

My husband and I came to Mr. Zapata in order to apply for adjustment of status through marriage. He was upfront and extremely honest. The entire process went smoothly and pretty quick. He addressed all questions and even random questions that came up over the weekend. He is extremely realiable and was always on time for appointments, even early for the interview appointment. His staff is friendly and also very helpful. We are so happy we found him and will refer family and friends for all immigration needs!

From the time we first consulted with Mario to the time we were approved our green card petition, Mario was on top of everything. And whenever something needed to get done, his staff was also more than helpful in getting it done. Mario was very knowledgeable and guided us throughout the process. At the time of the interview he was there to sit with us while we waited and just chit chatted about random things to help keep us at ease. I could go on and on about him and his office. But what for? Just do yourself the favor and call him. Talk to him and you'll know he's the attorney you need and can definitely trust. I liked him the first time we spoke and when my wife came in she said I definitely made the right call in hiring Mario. I cannot recommend him enough to anybody that asks. He cares about you more than just being a client, but as a person as well.

I would happily recommend him to friends and family.

I won't say much, anyone who reads this just remember something, "MAKE SURE YOU VISIT HIS OFFICE" it can be as a second, or third opinion trust you'll end up hiring him.

(Since Mr. Mario Zapata is very organized) Oh, man you make our lifes so much easier, thank you for being so organize you're the best. 10-15 minutes later: officer says to Mario, my wife and I, Okay wait for me outside, no more questions for you . You have everything in order and Mr Mario has all the copies for me, makes my life easier. (what officer said) Case: APPROVED Mario helped me get my DACA AND PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD. God I am so THANKFUL! THANK YOU SIR. MARIO ZAPATA God blessed you and your family.

Mario explained everything what you want to know, the consequences just in case it happen, and what to do next. His fee is reasonable. He just represented me May 1, 2015, for an interview for adjustment of status, and I was approved. Prior to this in 2008, he was with me for my removal proceedings,

Attorney Mario Zapata successfully represented multiple family members going through the adjustment of status process. Our case was quite complex, but Mario handled it as the seasoned attorney that he is. Attorney Zapata is honest and trustworthy. WIth Attorney Zapata we received not only representation and a resolution to our cases, but we were also educated about immigration and the legal process. These explanations really put my family at ease. Thank you, Attorney Zapata and much success to you! Familia Fernandez
