Mr. Valko, Miss Reyes and Mr. Hamilton helped us with our citizenship process, we had some challenges in the pass and they were very professional and make this process very smooth.
We highly recommend them, all the staff is very professional and friendly.
This is the kind of Atty. you want in your corner.
Way to Go!!

We cannot recommend this group of lawyers enough. This was the first time we have used them and they are amazing! The process was smooth and they made sure we were aware of every step they would take. Dealing with immigration issues is definitely a scary process but choosing them was the best choice we could have made. Thank you Chavez & Valko.

I would actually put 10 stars if I could...Chavez and Valko team are true professionals that know how to navigate the current challenging immigration landscape.
If you've gone through what I have in the recent past, you'll appreciate this review.
I applied for O1-visa last spring using services of a larger immigration law firm. Despite the fact they had all the materials they needed to prove the merits, their submission resulted in a huge RFE that was nearly impossible to dig out of. Bottom line, they did a very poor job flashing out the important accomplishments that one needs to prove to get this kind of visa. My visa application was denied and I had to leave the country after 6 years! Mind you, this is a huge change and challenge for a professional that has a very US-centric focus.
I decided to consult with a few more firms since I've been told independently that my evidence and experience looks strong and definitely worth reapplying.
So I decided to give it a shot. First, I consulted with one of the largest immigration law firms based out of DC (you know, the kind of shop that has 40+ offices around the world and claims they can solve any immigration problem you may have). I spoke with their senior attorney who flat out said that he wasn't convinced that I was an O1 caliber and the visa application had been denied previously so it's a clear NO for them. Actually, in our discussion he failed to address specific questions that I had because HE DIDN'T READ THE CASE = he didn't care at all. So it was a clear NO for me, too. They were not ready to accept this challenge. You have to appreciate it - it's a tough job and some are just not fit to do it - no matter how experienced, successful and tough they claim they are.
Very early on I realized that this firm couldn't hold a candle to Chavez and Valko.
I approached the firm with the very same request. Their attorneys and paralegals analyzed the case properly and addressed specific points and gave ideas on how to make it right - ultimately, they said it was worth trying again. We put together a plan and worked towards turning the odds in my favor. The process was a bit longer due to some issues with the logistics and workload this type of visa requires. However, in a couple of months we've put together a very strong application that duly reflected the accomplishment and experience that I have in my field of expertise. After a few reviews, we submitted a polished packaged that everyone from the senior attorneys to paralegals put tremendous effort in. And guess what? We got a YES in less than a week!!

A quick recap and moral of the story: don't believe in and waste your time with big law firms that take a cookie-cutter approach to everything and have often very junior and uncaring legal/paralegal staff. Trust your gut and go with people that care about your story and your future. You might as well get your way.

Chavez and Valko care about your objective and want you to succeed. Be patient and work with them, push them a little if you need to - they will deliver. I am back in the US as I am writing this and couldn't be more thankful to the entire staff that pulled this off.
To me they've become the go-to people when looking for someone to solve my immigration challenges. They deserve your attention as well.

We would like to thank Chaves and Valko office for their professional service , We scheduled a consultation visit in Dallas office to help us understanding the process of applying for E-2 Visa for our president/ Partner of our new established construction company , since that visit with Mr. Ben Hamilton we realized that we will be his client to help us to obtain the approval from the USCIS , we received the approval news recently and we are very happy that he made this process of gathering the required information and applying for the visa as simple and easy as he can with the support of his team .

Highly recommended for immigration services .

i decided to hired Chavez and Valko to represent me in my immigration process best choice we ever made. My attorney was Mr. Valko when we consult with him he sounded confident and knew what he was talking about. Right away we got him and our paralegal was Cielo she is so awesome any question i had she answer. My process took about 3 years but this Christmas i became a permanent resident thanks to them and their team. So worth every penny. Definitely recommend to anyone seeking immigration help.

Don't believe the high rate on google review on this company. I do not kow how they get so many reviews. I would recommend to stay away from this law firm if you want to secure a h1b visa. I had an unpleasant experience with them and ended up with a h1b denial. Here I am going to share more details about my experience: (1)At the beginning, it seems like all they care is to have you sign the contract, take the attorney fees and not happy to take prospective clients' questions. (2) they even get my company's address wrong in my h1b petition, the very basic information. I am not an expert on law but this tells something about the overall quality of my h1b petition. (3) the worst part comes when i get a RFE on my application, which means the original application is not good enough and the government needs more information. Of course, they charge additional fees for responding to RFE. It gives them incentive to not do a good job in order to charge client the second time. (4) They postponed my RFE response on purpose for betting on the government will restore premium process soon, which is a paid service to expedite my application process. It is suppose to be 1-2 weeks work but it takes them 6 weeks to do it! It is just pure unacceptable! The nightmare is they lost the bet! The premium process did not restore and there is a 6-week delay in my process, which results in my unemployment later. The point is they should never make a bet with the well-being of a client. It is a riskless bet for them but it is very bad for clients. You don't want a lawyer that does not care about clients! (5) Even after they learn premium process will not restore, the senior attorney's review is still extremely slow and they refuse to provide their RFE response to me. I should have known it is a bad sign. They are hiding their work from me, which probably means they just copy&paste my original application. Basically done nothing. (6) because of the delay they created, i was forced to stop working after Oct 1st. If they could have been quick on my application, this will not happen. After 2.5 month painful waiting, i was notified that my h1b application is denied and they suggest to appeal (slow response). Of course, they charges fees for appealing. they get paid for doing a bad job. I choose not to trust them again. if all I said above makes sense to you, please stay away from this law firm and find yourself a reliable attorney!

The best and only gift we were praying for was confirmed today when we received our letter confirming resident status for my husband. We are extremely grateful to the legal team that helped us through our journey Attorney Jennifer Villani Burton, Attorney Reem Moussa, and Thelma Trevino. I am so impressed on how well the prepared our application and packet. I am in awe to their hard work, dedication, and professionalism in handling my petition for my husband to obtain permanent resident status. It was a long 18 months for us, but today we can officially say everything was approved! Even when we went to our interview, the officer told us we were in the best hands with this firm. I honestly cannot find the words to thank them for not only their dedication, but also the sense of relief we feel now. We knew when we hired them we made the right choice and trusting them the entire way made it easier. Thank you again.

Peace of mind, thanks to the wonderfull professionals at Chavez and Valko, I truly know the meaning of that phrase . After years of putting off my naturilization process I finally decided it was time. With recent changes in immigration law and the current atmosphere, I was a little hesitant. I went to several consultations with different law firms and they all said the same thing, with the complications of my case, more than likely I would not succeed in getting my citizenship. When I went to Chavez and Valko, they to said my case had complications but that I also had options. Once on the case, the staff at Chavez and Valko took over, Thelma Trevinio  was so awesome throughout the whole process. She made sure I had all the documents and always checked in on the progress of my case. If I ever had a question, Thelma responded usually  within the same day or next never once did I feel in the dark. My attorney Omar Salas answered every question I had. He went over my case  and gave me options as well. Mr Salas made me feel confident about my case, erasing any doubt I may have had about it. Thanks to the proffessional staff at Chavez and Valko, I was able to become a citizen earlier this year and for the first time in my life I was able to vote. Best decision I have ever made. My advice for anyone, consult an attorney, ask questions and if its determined your best avenue is to seek an attorney to help you with your case, may I gladly suggest you try Chavez and Valko. I am forever greatfull to the wonderfull staff at Chavez and Valko, Thelma Trevinio and Omar Salas, thank you .

There’s not enough words to describe how this law firm works for you. From beginning to end they were professional and organized about everything they did. Not only did they answer every question I had (I had a lot) but they were always courteous and happy to help. I recommend this law firm TO EVERYONE I MEET. They understood my case and worked hand in hand with me and my husband. I am now a legal resident of these United States and it’s all thanks to them. Thank you to every one at Chavez & Valko.

Rodrigo Camacho, Ann Miller, and Reem Moussa and the rest of the team at the Dallas office were amazing! I was nervous when I chose them because I do not live in Dallas and was afraid that not being there was going to be an issue, but it was not. They always answered all my questions quickly, provided me guidance through my interview process, and overall made my adjustment of status very easy. I received my green card in 7 months. Thank you so much for all your help! I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

C&V have been my go-to immigration lawyers for the past 12 years, they have helped me through some pretty rough immigration issues, managed to renew several E2 visas as wel as visa waivers. After living in the US for nearly 20 years they succeeded in getting me a Greencard which i didn't think was possible for me. C&V are the best!!!!!

It's a great feeling when you walk into their office without an appointment and get greeted by name, Yes that how importat you are.
From start to getting my permanent resident status was a year and a half, couldn't have done without them, believe me I tried prior to them.

I want to share my experience with them, after I had a bad experience with my previous lawyer finally after a week of searching on Google almost every lawyer in Dallas. I was so confident when I came across Chavez&valko LLP based on reviews.
I was worried they were not going to take my case because the previous lawyer did not do a good job so, long story short they helped me make was impossible, possible 5 stars is not enough wish to give them much more and I want to thank every one of you for your dedication and hard work!
From the one who answer the phone to my paralegal Beronica, and sweet kind and very hard working lawyer Jennefer Burton.
Thank you and I really do appreciate you because of you my case is approved and trust me was not a easy one , the reason I m righting this review is to thank them and helping others who needs help on emigration status,
My name is Miradije L and god bless each of one of you thank you.

I hired this firm to help me with my immigration issues and they did great, the best lawyers in dallas you ask me. My paralegal Thelma helped me with every question and every concern. And my lawyer went with me to my immigration interview which i was not nervous about because she had already explained to me how it all was going to be. I will be using them again when its time to apply for my citizenship!!!

Attorney Oscar Mendoza at Chavez & Valko handled my husband’s U.S. citizenship case. From the first time we sat for a consultation, I was very happy with their service. They answered every question we had and helped us clearly understand the process. I had a lot of questions so would constantly email Thelma Treviño and she always responded in a timely manner. I liked that they were available all the time even though I know how busy they are. Thelma kept us posted on his case and promptly notified us of any correspondence received from USCIS. We chose to have an attorney present at the interview for personal reasons. Attorney Reem Moussa accompanied my husband and did an amazing job representing him and preparing him for his interview. They made the entire process easy and stress-free. I would highly recommend Chavez & Valko for all of your immigration needs. You will not be disappointed!

This law firm was very helpful and supportive in securing a green card for my foreign born spouse. Within 7 months, my husband was able to adjust his student status to permanent residency. Reem Moussa helped guide us through our stressful wait. She never made us feel judged or hopeless over the course of this journey. I highly recommend this law firm for your immigration needs.

From the beginning of my initial consultation to the day of my U.S. Citizenship, the Chavez and Valko team never left my side. When other Immigration lawyers turned me away due to my case, The Chavez and Valko Team; Paralegal Erika Castro, Lawyers Reem Moussa and Oscar Mendoza took my case and never gave me any excuses. Their unwilling determination to get my citizenship and take my case is unparalleled. I am forever grateful for their professionalism and service given to me. To anybody looking to get answers or solve any immigration issue, I highly recommend Chavez & Valko LLP.

After researching quality Immigration attorneys in the Dallas area, I reached out and had an initial appointment here.
 
I quickly came to the conclusion that this was an incredibly high-quality law firm and this is where we were going to spend our money, and put our trust.
 
Since that time we have been working Incredibly closely, sometimes on a weekly basis with both Beronica and Attorney Miller.
 
We could not have asked for a better team and I am also happy to report that today we received notification that both measures were approved as related to our case. 
 
Even before we learned of the Approval that was just received from USCIS- I had mentioned to attorney Miller a week or two ago that I was going to write this review as I have been so impressed.
 
Congratulations for having such a wonderful Team, i am happy to be a direct reference if that’s ever helpful for future clients and we will certainly contract this Law Firm for our application to remove the condition on the green card when ready. Yes, you can try and do all this yourself with no attorneys or try and contract cheap attorneys but is it worth it?? For us no- this was in investment that we are thankful that we made.

(Translated by Google) Listening one day on the radio to Mr. Lawyer Nicolas Chavez was how I decided to process my residence, my first appointment was with him, in the following it was with Mr. Miriam Garza-Lee and Ariel White, at first I thought maybe he was not going to follow my case, but I noticed in the interviews that he is following the process at every step and together with his great team they take a better walk to reach the goal that in my case was the one that I obtained a work permit and then my residence,
They helped me with the process of citizenship and no other thing than to thank them for taking very seriously the commitment they make with one to follow by our side throughout the process. Thank you!!

Ellos me ayudaron con el tramite de la ciudadania y no que otra cosa mas que agradecerles por tomarse muy enserio el compromiso que hacen con uno de seguir a nuestro lado a durante todo el proceso. Gracias!!

My husband and I used Chavez and Valko through the process of obtaining residency and although a very long and hard process, the lawyers and staff here were patient with us, communicated very well, made it as easy as possible to get through the process, and we look forward to working with them again for naturalization. You get your money’s worth as they answer all the questions/concerns and provided the best advice. If your looking for an immigration attorney, choose them!

We worked with the Fort Worth office of Chavez & Valko, LLP for our immigration issue. My journey from 2013 was complicated by a small clerical error (wrong form) and it results in a two year administrative nightmare. We had navigated the process without an attorney, until we ran into the problem.

This team CARES about their clients. The Paralegal Ariel White was beyond professional, encouraging and she answered all our questions and provided us with updates. The Attorneys (we had more than one on our case) were thorough and helped ease our anxiety. A straightforward immigration by Spousal petition from Canada to Texas turned into something quite scary for us, and they made us feel safe, and cared for.

If I have some advice to share, it is not to try to navigate a spousal immigration alone without the services of legal professionals. That little mistake ended up costing us two years of stress and thousands of dollars more than what we might have experienced, if we had retained a good lawyer in the first place.

I wholeheartedly recommend this team. They are amazing. We were told they were the best in Texas, and I wholeheartedly agree. We received my ten-year Permanent Resident card (green card) yesterday and celebrated with gratitude and relief. Thank you so much Chavez & Valko, and thank you Ariel for being such an amazing professional and resource for us.

First and foremost, I want to say thank you to the team of Chavez and Valko for working on my behalf in achieving my goal successfully. My family and I are very happy with the results, and we are more than thankful for such an accomplishment. This has made a tremendous positive impact in my life that I cannot find words to describe how I feel for such a perfect job. I want to share with the team of Chavez and Valko that after 11 years of being away from my family I will see them once again and this wouldn't be possible without you. If I could describe the two professionals that worked hand to hand with me, Mrs. Trevino and Mrs. Moussa, I would say that they were effective, efficient, and professional. We will be more than happy to refer you to family and friends. Once again, thank you very much for a great job!

Oscar Mendoza and his team were diligent in all they did for my brother, his situation, and our family. He, and everyone at this firm, had a thought out plan and executed it as intended. I appreciated every bit of advice and ultimately it was a success. Oscar, again, thank you for all you did for us. I highly recommend Chavez and Valko to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.

Cannot recommend highly enough. I used even though I was based out of state; I'd tried 3 local attorneys who were all awful before recommended to use Martin Valko. Him and all his staff have been super respoensful, knowledgable and efficient in every interaction. Thank you!!! Would give 6 stars if could!!!!

I had a very Great experience with the Law Firm. We applied for my permanent residency (Green Card) and it went so smooth. From the beginning, we were well oriented and guided. Through the process, we had questions and all were answered in a timely manner. Our Paralegal Erika was extremely professional, always made herself available when needed and very understanding. We highly recommend Chavez & Valko for any immigration matter.

Great experience out of the Dallas office. Lawyers are pricey in general so we opted for a transparent and simplified payment plan. Lawyer assigned to us was Ann Miller. She did the research (specific to our situation), was honest and prepared for the immigration process we needed help with. Worked with clerk/paralegal Felix and he was helpful too. Only tip is don't be afraid to call if you have any questions or feel like you should have heard back from them for something. Once you do, they are pretty quick to help.

(Translated by Google) I hired Chavez and Valko to get my residency. I felt very comfortable and I even felt like a family. The lawyer Salas and Felix did an exultant job. My case was complicated because the petitioner, my son, is disabled. Despite that, they managed to approve my case and now I have my green card.

Contraté a Chavez Y Valko para obtener mi residencia. Me sentí muy cómoda y hasta me sentí en familia. El abogado Salas y Félix hicieron un exultante trabajo. Mi caso fue complicado ya que el peticionario, mi hijo, es discapacitado. A pesar de eso, lograron aprobar mi caso y ahora tengo mi tarjeta de residencia.

I-601A Waiver

OMG where do I start. I want to start off first by saying that choosing an attorney for anything is not easy. When I was looking for immigration attorney I struggled for 2 years. Chavez & Valko was the first place I came to. I left thinking it might be too expensive due to the high professionalism atmosphere (eventhough I had no idea about the price - which they ended up being very reasonable and fair). I sought out other immigration attorneys which turned out to be NIGHTMARES. My heart lead me back to Chavez & Valko where it was in the first place. So if you are reading this review go with your heart. I met with attorney Valko who made us feel like the most important people in the world. I left not feeling judged and very welcomed and safe. Soon after hiring attorney Valko I met my paralegal Cielo. Who has more patience than the law allows, I would have NEVER EVER been able to complete this process without her. My life has not been easy so my trust issues are very low. But I trusted her with my life. Because no matter how difficult I was, she treated me with the utmost respect. She kept her word on EVERYTHING, which is PRICELESS in this situation. Had it not been for her I wouldn't even been writing this review!!! Everyone that I have met in this office has treated me with respect even when I DID NOT DESERVE it. Because there were times I was frustrated, because the waiver is not an easy process. But no matter how many questions I had or how difficult I was they stood by my side and because of them I have my husband by my side and we are free. Now we can have a decent life. So whoever is reading this review please know that my husband and I have already prayed in advance for you. Go have a consultation and then go with your heart. Put your faith in God and your trust in Chavez & Valko. You wont find ANYTHING better out there, trust me I tried. This is your life, so place it in the very capable hands of people who CARE ABOUT YOU!!! AND NOT YOUR MONEY!!! Have a bless day and I am open to helping anyone who is reading this review.

Standing On Faith,
Tammy Garcia

This law firm is phenomenal, Highly recommend! Our consultation with Attorney Falko was great we discussed our case and he told us the odds of approval according to our situation and gave us a quote of what we were looking at cost wise and also offered a payment breakdown so that it’s affordable. Worked with this firm since 2016 and they were always very professional and great at staying on top of our case and reaching out to make sure we received everything they did so that we didn’t miss any appointments. we had the pleasure of also working with Attorney Burton whom was always great to work with. Thankful to have worked with an amazing team that helped this process be as smooth as possible. Thank you!

I can’t thank Chavez & Valko team enough for helping me get a waiver to the presidential proclamation that restricted the issuance of immigrant visa to the citizens of 8 countries.I am today in the United States with my husband, waiting for my Green card to be mailed to me. That is what I call” the impossible becomes possible”. A special thank you to Ms. Erika Castro, the paralegal who handled my case. I and my husband are very happy with the professional manner our case was handled and appreciate the timely response to our queries. I highly recommend Chavez & Valko law firm for everyone with immigration case no matter how difficult or complicated the case may be.

My wife and I worked with Chavez and Valko on our immigration case. The attorney has done an outstanding job on our case. We felt being in a good care. They responded in a timely manner to all inquiries, kept us well informed and ensured that proper procedure took place at the interview, mostly making sure that we don’t go through any unexplained pending decision after the interview. Over all I truly recommend Chavez and Valko to anyone that needs immigration help.

I cannot say anything negative about this place. I am so happy my husband found this law firm. Their recieptionist, call center who answers phones on Saturdays, paralegals, and attorneys are highly professional and skilled/educated in their roles.
We had the pleasure of working with Beronica & attorney Burton for our case and we are so greatly thankful for these two women. They made the entire process easy for us and were always there to take calls/emails when we had questions (and trust me, I had millions of them lol)
They genuinely cared for my husband and myself & that itself showed us so much about Chavez & Valko as a whole. They always made sure to stay on top of updates & the case itself.
We highly recommend this immigration law firm to ANYONE who is in search of a representative.
They will not let you down, they will take care of everything for you, and will do all they can for their clients.
Thank you Beronica & Mrs. Burtson for all you did! We are forever grateful for you.

From start to finish transparency is an important trait that Chavez & Valko practice. I appreciate Mr. Valko setting the right expectations and creating a tailored plan with his team to help me achieve my residency. Our paralegal Thelma Trevino was there to help prepare our documents smoothly. Attorney Ann Miller was amazing answering my questions though the bumps on the road. Attorney Reem Moussa helped my wife and I through feel comfortable and was professional to the highest degree. Ms. Moussa was timely and diligent in our interview. If you want clear expectations and a great team to represent you. Chavez & Valko are the ones to bring you peace of mind. Thank you all!

My spouse and I have had the pleasure of working with Chavez and Valko since 2015. Mr. Valko and his paralegal, Erika have done an outstanding job with our case. They were able to successfully assist me in obtaining my K-1 Visa and son’s K-2. Thereafter, they filed for our residency application and with their outstanding preparation, my son and I are now Lawful Permanent Residents. Mr. Valko and his staff kept us updated throughout the entire process and were always available to speak with us regarding any questions and/or concerns. I am very pleased with the results of our case and highly recommend their firm for any immigration matters. May God bless you all!

Chavez & Valko Team is the best, what i really liked about them was their frequent follow up just to touch base with me and update me throughout the case. There was never a moment i felt like they had forgotten about my case. I attended my naturalization ceremony yesterday. Special thanks to Anne Miller and Felix Galvez. This firm is worth it if you would ask me.

I gave 4 stars because my billing experience was not 5 star i. I didn't appreciate them calling me last year 2018 asking me about payment for November which I had paid and i had to look through my e-mail for the receipt as proof that i had paid. I wasn't expecting that. Fast forward 2019 there is another billing misunderstanding from last year, they have apologized but we are still resolving it.

Hiring Chavez & Valko to help with my husband's immigration case was the best choice we made. Every step of the way they kept us informed when there was change in our case. Always had encouraging words that everything was going to work out. I am very pleased with Chavez & Valko and Ms. Trevino who always had an answer to all the questions we had.
