Mr Jonathan Mendoza and he's team are the people to trust!. From my experience, going from having a charge of possession and intent of sale of a" control substance". I had phone called, zoom, quoted. Multiple law firms here in L.A., (SPENT SO MUCH $). And every single one told it was impossible. Here I'm today, free of charge's! Mr Mendoza weaved out the whole case, and found out that what I was charged for, were not even drugs in the first place!. I got my case dropped, and now he's working on my US residency. Something that has changed my whole life! THANKS, MR MENDOZA AND EMPIRE LAW! read more

Alejandro was great at answering my questions I had amazing firm and attorney! If you have any questions please give him a call!

My review is a little late since my case with Empire Law almost 2 summers ago. But alas, I am a procrastinator to a fault but here it is: I needed help with my citizenship case and I was very nervous about the whole process. With my record, I was worried about getting my application denied or worse. As an immigrant, that "worse" scenario can be life altering. I've mentioned I'm a procrastinator, well, it's worse when I'm anxious about something so I put it off even more. Jonathan urged and finally convinced me to go through with it and so I did. He reassured me throughout the entire process that everything would work out just fine and he was not wrong! Not only did he reassure me, he prepped me for my interview and although he wasn't able to go with me the day of my interview (court thing came up) he did send someone else who was just as reassuring and capable. I was finally in the interview room with the immigration agent and it went so smoothly it ended up being one of the most positive experiences of my life. Part of it was the preparation beforehand and another aspect was the immigration agent, who was very empathetic to my case. After a lifetime of having "immigration law" on my mind constantly, I am now an American Citizen. Overall, to anyone reading this wondering if you should proceed with Empire Law, I say YES. Whether it's Jonathan directly, or someone else on his team, I know that whoever he hand selects he does so for good reason and you will be met with someone who is empathetic, knowledgeable and capable. read more

After visiting lawyers all over the Inland Empire and Bay Area, my husband and I felt the most comfortable with our Lawyer Jonathan Mendoza, and Gabriela. We live in Novato, my family is in Riverside. The process has been extremely stressful but they always gave us peace and made us feel confident. Gabriela has been extremely resourceful and kind to us. They have made this process as easy as possible. Gabriella and our Lawyer have been amazing to work with and kept in touch with us throughout our time with them. They are so well equipped with all the information we have ever needed. Jonathan and Gabriela have worked extremely hard for us and we are more than delighted with our outcome! We will forever be grateful! read more

I honestly don't know where to start. I'm amazed and mostly thankful for Jonathan Mendoza. He helped my Father Tony Zamudio fight and BEAT his case he has been dealing with for YEARS that no one was able to help us with until Empire Law assisted. I definitely recommend them. They charged our lives when thought there was no hope left. Thank you again for all your help! -The Zamudio's read more

We found Jonathan Mendoza through Yelp, and he was the third and last attorney we sat down with when we were shopping for lawyers. He made us feel at ease in that he clearly explained the different paths that we would potentially have to go through. The other lawyers we had previously met with in person were either 1) SHADY or 2) did not seem engaged enough in our case for us to confidently hire them. Having a straightforward, honest and knowledgeable attorney to represent us was non-negotiable as we did not want to waste ANY time or money. And we are glad we went with Empire Law as we are now highly satisfied customers! We were looking to Petition for an Alien Relative (USCIS I-130 form) and we had a slightly complex case. Both the attorney and his SUPER paralegal, Gabriela, are extremely knowledgeable in the realm of immigration law and they efficiently guided us through the entire process. Not only did they accommodate to our availability, but they clearly instructed which documentation to gather in support of our application despite having met in person only a handful of times. They filled out a BIG stack of paperwork on our behalf and our interview appointment arrived within 3 months of them submitting our application. In addition, they had a representative accompany us to our interview with USCIS in San Bernardino. Our interview went very well, and while it was partially due to the kind immigration official who interviewed us, we had been fully prepared with the documentation we would be asked for, had been mock interviewed by our legal team and our application was accurately filled out. Final (minor) amendments were clearly marked in advance of the interview for the official to review and approve. The overall process was a lot smoother than we had anticipated it would be before we started- thanks to this awesome duo! The price was right based on the services we received from them. There was a minimal consultation fee, but it was applied towards our balance. We have recommended their services to our friends and family. If we ever need immigration attorneys again, we will without a doubt go back! read more

I came to Attorney Mendoza's office hopeless and waiting to hear the same thing every other office had told me. However, after my first encounter with Attorney Mendoza he gave me hope and I decided to continue with his services. Attorney Mendoza is very knowledgeable, kind and detailed. He was thorough with every step, sent updates, and answered every and all questions even if they were asked more than once. He made this legal process very easy to follow and understand. With Attorney Mendoza's hard work, determination and diligence we had a successful case. I encourage anyone with legal matters to seek services from Mr. Mendoza, you will not be disappointed. read more

Jonathan was excellent! He was very proficient and explained the legal process clearly! Thank you for your services on my dad's case and his process to become a US citizen! read more

I was looking for an attorney and was referred to Jonathan Mendoza from a friend who recommended him based on his experience and reputation in the legal community -- and we were not disappointed! Mr. Mendoza is not only very professional, but he is very knowledgeable in the law. He guided us step by step and answered any and all questions we had. Mr. Mendoza was very reassuring and gave us peace of mind that we were on the right track while also being very realistic about our expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Mendoza to anyone who needs assistance. He is very detailed and thorough and will guide you through every step of the process. Also... he speaks fluent Spanish which was very helpful! read more

Jonathan Mendoza and his team exceeded my expectations! He helped me petition my mother and father. They are now both permanent residents in under a year! I highly recommend them for any immigration issue you might have. read more

Very pleased with their service. Reasonable prices. They always communicated with me. Kept me in the loop. Very professional job I totally recommend! read more

I highly Recommend hiring Jonathan for any legal issues you have! I reached out to him to consult on an old DUI charge I still had pending. He was very upfront with me about what I should expect, which I really appreciated. Although I was nervous Jonathan was reassuring and helped make sure I understood what I need/ed to do. He was also one of the most affordable lawyers I spoke with, his rate was almost half of what some other had quoted me. In the end, he was able to get me a much lighter sentencing than what I expected. read more

Highly recommend utilizing Jonathan for services ! He's very knowledgeable and is very candid with his clients. We were looking for an attorney in the Indio area that not only specialized in criminal law but also in immigration services . My loved one caught a case in Indio and we were concerned this could effect immigration status . So we needed somebody knowledgeable on both aspects of the law . Although it was not an immigration case , it was very important that our attorney could anticipate how it could effect him in the future . The moment I first spoke to Jonathan I felt confident that he was the person to go to . He listened and took his time in hearing all aspects of the case before any money was ever even transferred . Other attorneys do not like to go in depth with potential clients , but not Jonathan. He answered all questions and took his time. After retaining him , we were never left in the dark , and Jonathan always responded in a timely manner . He always kept us in the loop and explained all possible outcomes and how that would effect us in the future. We were made aware that a felony charge was not acceptable and Jonathan did not quit until the charge was dropped to a misdemeanor. Even after completion of the case , Jonathan reached out to assist us in all closing matters, remind us on upcoming due dates etc. The whole ordeal was obviously a difficult process, but we believe Jonathan helped us to get the best possible outcome given the situation . We appreciate the genuine care and professionalism that Jonathan exhibited , before , during , and after ! Will definitely be utilizing his services again if ever need be . read more

vanessa sanchez 3 reviews Please read!! I would give Jonathan and his team ten stars if I could! Me and my husband started the visa process back in 2016. We trusted Rogelio Morales, who at the time was a reputable lawyer. Come to find out this man, did not care about me or my husband. He took our money and wasted our time. Years came and in 2019 we received an attempt to deny our application for insufficient evidence. I had less than three weeks to turn in more documentation, or they would deny and possibly deport my husband. Mind you this is during the holidays. My lawyer was arrested for fraud. I was in the worst place in my life. Me and my husband thankfully found Jonathan and his team, and let's just say he took care of business! Staff is very organized and detailed with their packets. I felt like they truly cared about me and my family. They gave us the option to reach out to them personally at any time. Due to my husbands health circumstances, Jonathan was able to get my husbands case expedited to the consulate. Last week my husbands visa was finally approved!! Me and my husband can now finally breath, and live out our dreams for our family. Please do not look any further than Empire Law. You will be in good hands! read more

Our case relates to Immigration law and it's a difficult case since we received a letter of intend to deny from USCIS. Even the attorney helped us to write the explanation to USCIS didn't want to deal with my case and found a reason to refuse taking my husband and I case. A friend of mine gave me Jonathan's assistant. Having no positive thoughts but we gave us a try to call her, and it turns out that we found an amazing attorney ever. My husband and I were scheduled to our 3rd interview on September. Jonathan and his assistant spent 4hrs to do the mock interview and gave us advice on most of the questions we might be asked. Note that my husband is a very shy guy and he never feels comfortable communicating with strangers, especially with USCIS officer, who always pushes pressure on us on every interview. Jonathan has helped and prepared him to deal with the situation. On the interview, we did so good that now we're waiting for the result from USCIS but it is completely positive. Jonathan and his assistant are very responsible and friendly. Also his assistant is very helpful, you can count on her whenever you have a question or advice. We were very comfortable and happy working with them. I will completely come back to them after 2 years when I need to remove my condition. It's hard today to find an attorney who is responsible and a good person. Therefore, I highly recommend them if you need an attorney to count on your problem :) read more

Honest, reputable, and a good person too. Met Jonathan when the he represented me as a public attorney. When I got in a pinch, I called him up because from start to end, he was very professional, knowledgeable, and I had a good experience with him in the past. everything prety much came out the way he said, which I appreciate, no bs. Definitely someone I recommend. read more

I highly recommend Jonathan at Empire Law, he's very knowledgeable and professional. He provides feedback in a timely manner, keeps you updated on the status, changes, or whatever is pending on your case. He is always available to answer any questions and treats his clients with respect, a genuine good honest person who looks out for the client's best interest. I can't say enough about the great service I was provided. I hope I never get in trouble with the law again, but if I do I will definitely contact Empire Law. read more

Atty. Jonathan Mendoza is an amazing lawyer. He has been nothing but helpful. With years of experience in Criminal and Immigration Law, he guided me through the process of getting my past charge expunged and answered all my questions about US residency and the naturalization application process.

Jonathan Mendoza is a very great attorney, I never thought I would be in a bad position that I found myself in. I was in court and felt so hopeless, Jonathan was the best attorney I could ask for. He took care of everything for me, and kept me updated very well. I would definitely recommend this attorney to anyone that is in need of help. Jonathan guided me through the whole year long process very well, and made me understand everything that was going on. 10 out of 10 to you Mr. Mendoza. read more

First of all, I have never met a more reliable, polite, responsable and effective attorney than Jonathan. The reason why he is so effective is that he does all the WORK that you hire him for by himself . He is a true PROFESSIONAL in all aspects . Jonathan will always be straight forward with you, and won't try to just take your money. Him & his assistant Gabriela were just the best my mom could have. He worked on my moms immigration case very hard. It took about a year to get her residency. We are beyond thankful for his amazing job, and dedication. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone who is looking for an immigration attorney; his fees are very reasonable. read more

My heart was at easy, getting guided through the process of my early termination of probation, and expunge. I was delighted how Mendoza was on top of communicating through emails, phone calls, and face to face meetings with my case. Most importantly I felt comfortable talking to him about my situation and case. read more

Jonathan Mendoza of Empire Law had promised to achieve a few results from my criminal / immigration proceedings, which he did not. He was unresponsive to my requests for help, and failed to supply necessary documents on time. His charges are excessive for the incompetent services Empire Law provides to their clients. read more

This was a very stressful time for me as I going through something really hard for me. Another lawyer referred me to Jonathan and I was not sure he was going to work out. He is very knowledgeable and me being me I asked many questions and they were answered and not always what I wanted to hear but he did an awesome job. He knows what he is doing and kept me informed of everything and it all worked out. Very good experience knowing that they had my back all the time and looking out for me. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

If you want to truly find out how good an attorney is ask another attorney who they would contact if they needed help. Jonathan is a great lawyer with a reputation for being meticulous, precise, and patient. When you take these skill sets and couple them together with someone who is in not afraid to be as aggressive as the case needs, you get a superlawyer like him. Jonathan is not an attorney who will just plead out your case, he will make sure he turns over every stone making sure he has investigated the law and facts of your case. He's a seasoned trial attorney who has obtained not guilty verdicts. Over the years I have asked him complex questions about the legal system and he has never failed to provide me with sound advice. This type of advice can only come from from someone who has personally advocated for others on countless misdemeanor and felony cases as Jonathan has. I one hundred percent recommend him to anyone who wants a professional, zealous, and intelligent lawyer in their corner! read more
