Thank you so much for the positive review. I try hard to give every client, and even potential client, to get a lot of value for their money. Even when it's just a consultation: I give handouts, explain the law, give options, and draw out notes on my whiteboard. As an ex-school teacher, old habits of explaining things stay with you.

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!

Not profesional people

Sorry you feel that way. If you retained me, and signed a Fee Agreement, let me know what went wrong, and how we can fix it. But I think you never hired us, so there's not much to do.

He seems to be very honest because he could find information and just with that. I would justify his fees. Instead, he provided me with resources to find out by myself, and if needed, he can represent me. He also explained the process. Others were charging me upfront, and he (Mr Sergio) just a consultation fee. Therefore, in the case that I needed a representation in court, he would be the one I prefer.
Owner response
Thank you for review. I'm glad you felt it was worth it to come see me, and appreciate that I did not pressure you to hire me. I don't do that. Some people complain about paying for a consultation. I get it. It may seem expensive at first, but when people come in, I make sure to give them a lot of information. I want you to get your money's worth. If I can come up with a solution during our consultation that saves you time, money, and effort, I will give it. Best of luck.

I'm sorry if our office didn't respond. We answer phones from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a break between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. for lunch. We usually reply to all calls and emails. Sometimes we won't be able to if we are busy, or if it's clear the service you need is not something we offer. Please give us another chance. 510-314-0627<br><br>I'm sorry if our office didn't respond.

I did not get a chance to speak with Mr. Benavides. I appreciate that Mr. Benavidas will not offer free legal advice - I in fact commend him on focusing his time on the clients who are paying him, I dont think it is appropriate that his team will not answer basic questions such as the average cost of a K1 visa or whether they charge for manual visa work at a paralegal hourly rate or a lawyer hourly rate. These are not legal questions, these are billing questions that should not require a paid consultation. The Visa processes can have some chance of higher cost based on the complexity but the basic process does not have a lot of variation so the assertion that there can be no pricing guidance doesn't line up with reality. As I read other reviews where potential clients could not agree on a price I am concerned I will pay $250 only to find out that his services are more expensive than others.
Owner response
I discuss everything in my consultations: the potential client’s personal facts, the law, the process, timelines and fees. I don’t discuss fees without having some idea what a person’s case involves. Then I know how much to charge. Do you call a mechanic and demand to know, without a proper diagnosis, HOW MUCH? Do you do that with a doctor? I keep very busy, and so for me to take time away from clients to focus on someone else’s case and situation requires me to charge. The fee is worth your money, as I provide a lot of useful information during consultations. Thank you for your feedback.
