Laura Contreras has been by my side since day one, guiding me through every step of my immigration journey. She helped me secure my residency and is now working with me on my citizenship. Throughout the process, she has been incredibly supportive, always following up and making sure everything is on track. Her dedication, knowledge, and genuine care make all the difference. I’m beyond grateful for her help and wouldn’t trust anyone else with something this important. If you need an immigration lawyer who truly cares, Laura is the one!
Great experience. I initially spoke with attorney Laura Contreras on obtaining a bond for my sister. She explained in great detail what the process would be and the fact that she spoke Spanish made it so much easier where my sister could understand. Once I signed up with them, it was a smooth process where I would receive updates from her as well as her assistant Yasmin. She was a great help. Eventually my sister was granted a bond and I owe everything to Ms. Contreras and her staff. Thank you.
