It was a pleasure working with Pablo. He is an excellent attorney who really goes above and beyond for his client. He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way and all the required documents needed. The whole interview preparation and the interview itself went very smoothly. There were no surprises and everything went as excepted. The case was for parents green card.

If you’re seeking good communication during the hard immigration process, Pablo is the right attorney for you. Responds emails and calls immediately which I think is a superpower.

I worked with Pablo for an H1B visa transfer case with a strict deadline. Pablo was quick to communicate and act. We managed to go from first phone call to approved H1B within a month! Highly recommend Pablo to others needing assistance with similar immigration related cases.

We could not express enough how wonderful Pablo was throughout the visa application process. From our initial appointment to the in-person interview, Pablo went beyond expectations. He clearly articulated what to expect in each stage of the process. He answered questions promptly and helped resolve issues that arose. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed by Pablo and we would highly recommend his services!

Pablo was the best lawyer I could've hoped for in my visa process! I applied for an H1B1 visa (not the traditional H1B visa!) sponsored by a nonprofit org, and my org retained Pablo to assist me with the process. He was extremely knowledgeable about the specifics of this visa. At every stage of the process he spotted things we would have to sort out or get more info/documentation for, and I was left with no doubts as to whether everything had been ironed out. Further, Pablo is extremely responsive and prompt in communications -- any time I had a question (and I had many!) I could expect a reply within a day, and usually within a few hours. He was extremely helpful before I had my visa interview and took time to answer all my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. So pleased to say my visa process was successful and it truly was all because of Pablo's help. His expertise was evident and he was truly a reliable and dependable attorney at every stage. Hands down would recommend Pablo for any and all of your employment immigration needs.

Since I arrived to the US, I had about 3 different VISAS with infinite bad experiences with lawyer until I met Pablo that helped me get an E2 visa. He is extremely professional, kind, reliable, organized and above all patient. He always has an answer and gives you the confidence you need to go over these type of processes. I'll definitely work with him in the future and since day 1 I have been recommending him to all my foreign friends! If you need an immigration lawyer, don't even think about it twice, Pablo is the BEST!!

I have worked with Pablo on two separate visas and have always been satisfied with his service. He is extremely professional, patient, and was always able to answer my questions direct and clear. I always recommend Pablo to anyone who asks and look forward to working with him again.

I work in the legal field and I can say hands down Mr. Velez is one of the most professional, organized and reliable attorneys I have ever worked with. I have no negative remarks from my experience. He knows the process, walks you through what to expect and is able to adapt very easily given his expertise. He is not one of those attorneys who will harbor information until you sign a retainer like some- he will tell you straight up what to expect. My wife and I began this process pre-covid and completed our 'permanent residency' journey in September 2020 (during covid). Naturally, there was a lot of uncertainty given the status of our world but Mr. Velez still made himself available to us, updated us when necessary and checked in periodically just for the sake of checking in. I would say we built a report through our experience with him which is not always expected in an attorney/client relationship. Applying for the K1 or K3 is an incredibly daunting process for those who decide to go that route and Pablo made it seem much less daunting. He also has a great system in place to keep you organized as you begin compiling all the information necessary to file- very necessary! If you want it done right, hire him. period.

Pablo was originally referred to me by my friend. After our first meeting I knew that I wanted him to help me with my green card application. From the very beginning he was courteous, knowledgeable, and patient with all of my questions. Throughout the whole process, whenever I contacted him he always responded promptly and in the most helpful way. He clearly explained all of the steps we needed to take and took care of all the confusing paperwork. Along the way, he offered a lot of expert advice. He was very experienced and capable, and made me feel confident that I would be approved. Today I got my card in the mail. Thank you so much Pablo!

My employer hired Pablo last year to start my green card process (EB3) and I cannot even imagine how I would be able to go through this endless and stressful process without having him on our side. He is a very knowledgable, detailed, professional and helpful immigration lawyer who is always there to answer my questions. I am still going through the status of adjustment process and I don't even have my green card in hand yet, but I still wanted to leave a review here because he is that great. If you need an immigration lawyer, don't even think about it twice and reach out to Pablo.
