Video Transcript (translated to English)

I came to this office because when I was trying to enter to this country I was arrested, I didn’t have the visa and the documents. So I was detained in Miami but I came to live in Boston, so I asked to be transferred and I found this company because of a friend´s recommendation. I spoke with another immigration attorney but basically I didn´t feel confident. He didn´t give me the basis to trust him, because I felt he only was interested in the money, he didn´t give me reasons for me to say, yes. In the other hand, when I came here, to the immigration firm of FitzGerald Law Company and I talked with Desmond, I felt safe, he explained to me how the process was to be, how long it would take, what we had to do. How did I feel before find the office of FitzGerald Law Company and the immigration lawyer Desmond? I was lost in the limbo, I didn’t know what to do, it was something that I had to resolve. There are many things that even if you speak English, the way to express yourself is not that simple, so it makes it easier to be able to communicate with a person who speaks Spanish, and he speaks Spanish. When I asked him something, either I like the answer or not, he always knows what to tell you, because I still with him and the questions or what he does is correct, straight to the point and tells you what you want to know. When my residency was granted, the first one, the temporary one that is given for 2 years, that was a big joy and I called him, I told my wife, I told her that It already arrived. When I opened that envelope and I saw that paper, that was happiness because that makes you more like another person here, it gives you a status, you are legal. I called him and said, “Desmond, my residency arrived”, and he said “Oh, well, congratulations, enjoy it and be good”. And I was happy and I went to have lunch with my wife. I am glad that I found him and that at least he had a base to start the process. I would recommend the immigration law firm of FitzGerald Law Company at a 100%
