"Mr. Benavides was very helpful throughout my whole case. He made sure to explain everything I needed in regard to my case and he was very professional. He is knowledgeable in both law and immigration matters. Not only were the documents very organized and well put together, but he and his law firm team were very quick throughout every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mr.Benavides!! Thank you again for all the support and help that I and my husband received during the whole process! I live 2 hrs away from Mr. Benavides’s law firm but it was worth it because everything worked out perfectly!"
