Mr James Root, Ms. Mariela Sagastume, and their office staff (Hector Mendoza & Sophia Rivera) assisted me throughout the entire process. I am now a permanent US Resident. I highly recommend Mr. Root who helped me achieve what other attorneys couldn't. Thank You! read more

My husband and I worked with Root Law Group (mainly Carol & William) to get a green card for my husband! They were amazing and incredibly easy to work with. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. In addition, they were helpful whenever confusion or questions arose. William was an amazing help and attended our interview with us and offered much needed peace of mind in the stressful environment. Our case was approved very quickly and we have Root Law Group to thank for that! read more

I am so happy that I met Root Law team. They work extremely professional and quick. My case was accepted in just two months which is incredible. Special thanks to Igor and Khaled for the job they did, I really appreciate it and will advise them to all my friends. They are very careful with the cases they deal with. Root Law is the best immigration firm for sure. read more

This immigration laws firm is taking advantage of me and my wife buy collecting all the money, and after almost two years, they only got the FOIAS a month and a half ago. Right after that the office contacted me and said: you have a balance of this $. Now that I gave them almost everything, they don't answer my calls or my emails. Because I mention this on a revew, he said he was gonna put our case on hold. All Mark (Principal Attorney) wants is our money, but we're not alowed to say anything. I don't wanna get you guys tired, but there's more say. read more

I just started talking with them about my possible immigration case, and they made a bizarre move. Laura Martinez, Head of Accounting, sent me the Credit Card Authorisation Form, where they are asking for my credit card details, like number, expiration date, and security code on the back of the card! When I noticed and asked why they were asking for sensitive data, Laura and Igor (the attorney I talked to before) told me it is customary in the US to ask for full credit card details! I am disappointed with this move because everyone (except Laura and Igor) knows that only scammers are asking for the card security code! Even your bank doesn't need it! read more

When my husband and I decided to look for an immigration lawyer it was hard not knowing where to look and what to look for, we needed to feel confident that we were going to be in the right hands, and that's just what Rootlaw offered. We felt secure the moment we walked in and they were ready flexible with cost, what I appreciated the most was that every question we had they were ready to answer. Thelma was specifically really helpful throughout the whole process she and Sophia made an amazing team. read more

Was lucky to find Root Law 10 years ago when no one else could help me with me and my family visa issue. RL team managed to do what no one else could.

I reached out to Root Law Group after my friend had a great experience with them and a successful case. They were such a pleasure to work with and were so helpful with the uncountable questions I had. I'm very happy with my decision of choosing them and would recommend them to anyone that has an immigration case they need resolved. read more

Enormous thanks to Mariela Sagastume and Hector!! After I failed my first interview, this team put such a strong case in my defense that CIS approved it without any further questions. Mariela and Hector actually took the time to study my case in depth, get all the key points emphasizing my merit to obtain citizenship, and presented a line of arguments that was very difficult not to accept for any reasonable person. This took several iterations, but the final result was a very high-quality product. I was blown away by such a personal approach - there's no doubt that this team really takes pride in what they do and I think they all share a mission of helping immigrants to become a part of this great country. They most definitely don't do it just to pay the bills. So most sincere regards to Mariela and Hector, and of course special credit to Mr. James Root for putting together and leading his great team. Best regards, read more

I cannot thank enough to SANDY TORREZ and other staff members that helped me out with my case!!! My case was extremely a mess then my friend recommended me root law group. I reached out about 5 lawyers.before I committed to root law group. They all told me I have 3 months to response my case, except root. Root law group said I had a month left during the consultation.. So I trusted their words and then I started working with Sandy Torrez. Sandy was definitely knowledgeable and has lots of experiences in immigration. Also, she has such a positive attitude, which is very important! The way she prepared my case and also, she was very quick to response, which I was able to trust the process and build more confidence for my next step. After about a month later, I received AN APPROVAL NOTICE!!!!!! I was actually getting ready for the worst case just in case! but I never ever imagined my case would get approved like this!!! Thank you very much for saving my life, Sandy!!!!!!! If you are looking for an immigration lawyer, ask SANDY!!!!! read more

Thank you Root law group... you guys are amazing! God bless you all... and again thanks for all the help... read more

Genadie and Eli helped me navigate and successfully overcome a last minute issue. Helpful, effective, resourceful and friendly. I certainly will be calling on the Root Law Group should I ever require any immigration advice. read more

UPDATE: Looks like my case has been approved. I was assigned to another lawyer, again, assuming Mr. Root was my lawyer. I'm at abt $4000 for my immigration case, all paid. Next step is filing for the GC, apparently that wasn't included in the $4000. Hefty rates/fees. To file for GC, for government alone it's $1225. I'm glad my case was approved, but I had to put in a lot of work myself. Law firm didn't catch one mistake either, glad USCIS accepted our apologies-after all, their reputation is much worse than they are. Will have phone call w/Mr Root soon abt additional "lawyer fees" for filing GC-after paying $4000, I'm anxious to know. I'm going to update here again. Starting my review today and will add as I go along. Currently a client of the law group. Had to change my immigration case from one case to another, in the first case there wasn't work done but shipping costs were charged twice-$150 and $100 for new case and another charge on top of that- confusing. As we all know, legal fees add up fast and the lawyer should be aware and sensitive of that-$4000 isn't a piece of cake and should include the whole case or most of it. As I'm at the beginning of my journey, I will add a my personal experience step by step. So far, I have spent most of the legal advice with a paralegal of the law firm. James E. Root has been friendly and professionally so far when I have actually seen him and on the phone once- which is why I'm giving 4* as of today- the experience from this morning made it almost 3* though. As a client, you'd like to feel safe and understood- in the aspects of advice and the amount of legal fees. My case is being filed today- as soon as they're will be changes on anything, I will add on. read more

Lawyer was very rude . She doesn't smile and has an attitude for no reason. I think she's also the main immigration lawyer there.

First of all, I wanna say thank you to all Rootlaw group. I had a complicated case and my friend recommended me James, so I came to him. James and his team were great, they answered all my questions and helped me get through my hard case.Now I'm writing this after my green card was approved. Overall I had a good experience and James himself is a very nice and friendly guy. No matter how hard your case is I would recommend you to go see James. read more

Finally I found a time to write a review for the amazing work that the Root Law Group have done. I have moved to the US as a student. I couldn't find a good lawyer to help me with my paperworks. So many offices promise a lot but don't do anything(( I'm so glad my friend told me about this law group. I couldn't see my relatives for 7 years and they have helped me! Thank you!!! Kristina and Sean have been working on my case, but I know that everyone is a professional there so it was a team work. They are very detail oriented and always think about future steps and things that can cause problem in the future, so you will be warned just in case. Thank you again "Root Law group"! read more

We are so grateful to have been in the hands of professional that answered all of our questions when we needed peace of mind.

We recommend this firm with two big thumbs up!!! read more

I'm very happy with Root Law Group's service, especially the help James and Julia provided. They are both very responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns I may have. They worked very hard to give me the best possible legal counsel and I am very pleased with the results. read more

Root Law group did my immigration filing and i am extremely happy to say that we did the right choice by engaging them to get it approved. Mine was a particularly complex case and Root navigated thru the entire process flawlessly with utmost professionalism and at the same time with a personal touch. Mr Genadie Moskalensky is a fantastic case manager and is a ROCK star!. He was patient enough to answer all the queries i had provided assurances wherever required. Not to mention Mr Robert Perkins who was the Senior Attorney handling my case, it was his diligent effort and expertise that bore good results. I would definitely recommend Root Law Group to anyone with immigration related issues. read more

Only 5 star rating for Root Law Group! Mariela Sagastume, Hector Mendoza, Elly Levy did the job well done.

I would like to say big THANK YOU to the Manager Genadie Moskalensky at the Root Law Group for his professionalism, knowledge, attention to details and quality of all their office work. Genadie and James assisted my mom during the Citizenship process which ended with granting her Citizenship. Thank you so much for your time, expertise, and professionalism!!!!! I am very grateful to you how much effort you've put in our case. read more

I had an initial free phone consultation with James who gracefully gave me advice on my I-539 case even though the conversation ended up with me not requesting his services as the application was something he said I could handle myself and the cost for him to do it for me was higher than what I wanted to pay. From this interaction my impression is that James runs a trustworthy office which is genuinely out here to help. read more

Earlier in 2013, I met with Mr. James Root for an initial consultation and discussed my current status & potential options that we could pursue. I worked with Root Law Group (Mr. Robert Blanco) throughout Q4 2013 and early 2014 for my work visa (change of status) application. This was not a straight forward case. Mr. Root and his team kept me updated at every step during the process and made the process less and less stressful. While making sure that it was submitted on-time, they also asked for more evidence and supporting documents for the success of this case. I definitely recommend Mr. Root's firm for all immigration related issues. read more

Awful place! I used this firm for my immigration issues and I regret it! When I realized this place is very unprofessional, it was already too late to change my lawyer and I had to continue with Root Law. 1 Even if you make an appointment, you will end up waiting for an hour or so. 2They never reply to your emails or return your phone calls, it takes forever to actually speak to someone who knows what is going on. 3Few days before interview Mr Root told me he is unavailable and he cannot come to court with me and sending another person who does not even work for him. All experience was terrible, my case did not pass and I blame this place for that. read more

When dealing with anything immigration related, I need an attorney who will provide concise information explaining every option in a direct manner with professionalism and care. James Root and his staff provided that for me. Each person I spoke with was friendly, always tried to provide me with the best solution, and followed up with any updates they had. I was guided through each step, and they were always responsive to my questions. While retaining James Root's services, I had complete piece of mind that my case/application would be thoroughly taken care of. It's people like him and staff members Keli, Erica, Grabiela, Karla, and Alejandro amongst others, who make make drastic changes for the good in peoples' lives. You want them on your side. read more
