Knowledge about citizenship above and beyond my expectations. Made my process an ease and was able to get my citizenship on the same day as my interview. I have recommended Mario to my family and I recommend him to anyone looking to become a US Citizen.

I never write reviews, but Jessica and her team are very dedicated to help their clients. They are great listeners and very professional. With Jessica's metrical touch my mother received her green card in a very short period of time. I strongly recommend anyone who needs assistance with their immigration to contact them.

Just I can say thanks for all your hard work with us. From the beginning Mario was very confident with all his answers on my case. The hold process was very smooth and worry free. Every step He was there to check for mistakes and resolve any situation before to appear. Pur process was really smooth and problem free, USCIS dont find any mistake or any missing information, they NEVER ask for anything extra and the final result was GREAT, they approve our residency with no interview. Thank you Mario Zapata for all your great work and help.
He treat us like a friends and always He was open to listen

I'm writing this review on my daughter's account.
I've been in this country for more than twenty years and I went through different programs and organizations to fix my papers and they were all dead end and money wasted. it wasn't until I found Law Office of Mario Zapata that I was able to become a permanent resident in this country that I Love. The whole process was seamless and very affordable, it took less than a year to get my interview with USCIS and received my permanent resident card. Mr. Zapata is indeed knowledgeable in Immigration law; I think the hardest part of

This is not "the guy" if you are looking for immigration attorneys. I believe he is a DACA renewal guy, or an overstayed Visa guy, but he is not a "I'm in court, in front of a judge 8 times a week, I know this stuff inside and out guy" if you know what I mean. If you are in the US illegally go to Santa Ana and speak with an immigration attorney that deals with these types of situations all the time. There initial consultation is usually free ( so you are saving money) and they are extremely familiar with all types of immigration case law. They are in front of a judge on

My husband and I contracted Mr Zapata in march-april 2018 and was very honest about the possibility of my husbands situation which is something not all attorneys do. Not only that, but the process was so fast And he makes it easy to make payments that are to your convenience. In less than 6 months he got his fingerprints and picture taken and soon my husband got his employment card. A few months after that we had our interview in April 2019, and my husband was fortunate to become a US Resident. All that was done in a year which to us was so fast and we are extremely satisfied with his work. I really

All I can say that Mr. Zapata helped me out so much, when I submitted my paperwork back in 2018 he warned me that the turn around would be possibly 1yr, exactly 1yr after I can say that after being a DACA recipient for almost 5yrs, I have become a legal resident as of 07/29/19. Thank you so much Mr. Zapata for representing me on my case and helping me understand the process and for making everything a smooth transition. Very satisfied with your service I would definitely recommend to friends and family members. :).

I would like to highly recommend the Law Office of Mario Zapata for any immigration related legal services. He truly is the best!!! My case was out of the ordinary, even though I had been a lawful permanent resident for about 20 years I was placed in removal proceedings last year. Back in 2006 I was talked into filling out voters registration card outside a grocery store and 10 years later in 2016 when I filed an application for Naturalization, my application was denied for that reason and I was left facing deportation. Mr. Zapata was the first attorney I spoke with in regards to my case and after

As a expert in Criminal defense in the Orange County area, my practice crosses over into Immigration Law, literally every week. Mario is my go to immigration lawyer. He is punctual, always available to assist me. I have referred countless clients to him with the utmost confidence in matters ranging for the very difficult deportation proceedings in federal court to applications for citizenship, work permits, travel visas, etc. He is one of the most honest guys you will ever meet. I Will continue to refer him business.

Me and my husband got Married at the end of 2016 & after doing some research we decided to get a consultation (free) w/ Mario in person. He was very straightforward and we knew right away he knew what he was talking about. (We had 2 brief consults over the phone w/2 other attorneys and they did not really give us too much confidence). The process was very stress free & reasonable pricing. Thank God for putting Mr. Zapata in our way. We had our immgration interview this week & once we arrived Mario was already inside waiting for us. While waiting we could tell we were in good hands. Officers & staff

Thank you for confirming my doubts and replying back. I appreciate your honesty. He doesn't go around the bush I'm sure if he can help he will. Many lawyer's just charge you and don't give you the right help. He did and didn't charge me a penny. Thank you.

When we first met Mario he was upfront with the paperwork, cost and timeframe.

We met with him several times to bring in paperwork and even had a visit right before our appointment to make sure we knew what to expect.

During the appointment we were pleasantly suprised he had worked with the agent for the past 8 years. They had a great repoire with each other.

Our appointment questions went smoothly and all our paperwork was in order.

I highly recommend Mario Zapata to anyone looking for a professional Immigration Attorney. He is pragmatic, efficient and a great person.

Look no further!

Mario's organized, highly skilled and friendly approach left my husband and I in no doubt that he was the perfect attorney for us.

Before we sought aid we were at a real loss as to which of the many, many forms we needed and really didn't know where to begin. Mario took away all of that stress and before we knew it we were through the process!
I would highly recommend Mario's services to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

My husband and I had to apply for adjustment of status. Prior to visiting with Mr. Zapata we met with several other immigration attorneys. Mr. Zapata was the most trustworthy and affordable of all of them. We had an excellent experience with him. He kept it simple and after only a few month I was approved for permanent residency. He even saw us after hours as my husband is full time employed and could not get out of work early enough. We recommend Mr. Zapata to anybody who needs immigration help and advice.
