I lost my case at immigration court. I did not know what to do. I started calling lawyers. None of them made me feel good about my case. Most of them did not give me hope and some said there was nothing I could do.

Then I found out about Carlos. After talking to him on the telephone, we made an appointment for Saturday. I had less than 10 days to file my appeal with the BIA. Carlos had a different attitude than the other lawyers. He said that he needed to read my papers before giving me an opinion. I emailed almost 100 pages to him. I drove 2 ½ hours to his office.

He surprised me when he said that he saw an angle to challenge the judge’s decision. He did not sugarcoat my situation. He told me that the issue would be brand new. He had never seen or heard anyone raise it before. He made it clear there were no guarantees but that he would do his best. Carlos seemed sincere. I believed he was telling me the truth. I also knew he went to Harvard and Harvard guys are pretty intelligent. So I hired him.

For two years, I lived in fear of losing and being deported. Then I received a letter from the Board of Immigration Appeals. I was scared to open it. The letter said I won. I felt numb. I started crying. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Mr. Batara.

My husband started immigration papers for me 15 years ago. We divorced. He didn’t finish the papers. I raised my son alone. I was afraid every day about deportation. Sometimes I couldn’t sleep. I was afraid to talk about my situation. One day a close friend told me to call Carlos and see what he had to say.

What I liked about Carlos was the way he paid attention to details. He asked me about things I had trouble remembering. He asked for old papers. I liked how he explained why he needed to look at them.

Right before Christmas Day, immigration closed my case. Carlos told me they made a mistake and he would fight to get my case opened again. I was worried. But he was right. My interview was rescheduled. Carlos got me ready for the interview and he was there with me. I won. Thanks to Carlos. Now I have a green card and a new life.

Our experience with Attorney Batara was excellent! He’s full of knowledge and he won’t take any case just to make money. He’s very selective and works hard to win. If he thinks that he cannot put up a good fight, he tells clients straight up.

After meeting with over 10 attorneys all over Southern California, he was the only one willing to take and fight our difficult case. It was not an easy situation. All the other attorneys we saw repeatedly mentioned that I was going to be penalized with a 10 year bar and that there was no way around it. They all suggested not to do anything. They said just “wait until the law changes.”

My husband and I didn’t want that. We wanted to start our family and live like a normal couple. We were not sure the law would ever change. We finally came across the Law Offices of Mr. Batara and he was the light at the end of our tunnel. He saw a way to win my case. He agreed to help us.

The law has not changed – but we won anyway. I strongly recommend Mr. Batara to anyone who needs immigration help. During the case, he kept telling me, “Don’t panic, Hispanic.” He meant it. If he takes your case, you can be sure he will do his best to help you.”
