Licensed Attorney — Not a Notario

Ruben Martinez Jr. is a licensed California attorney and AILA member. Unlike document preparers or notarios, he is legally authorized to represent you before USCIS and at your interview.

10+ Years of Experience

Over a decade of family immigration cases in Southern California. We know what USCIS looks for, how to prepare your evidence package, and how to handle complications before they become problems.

Direct Attorney Access

You work directly with Ruben — not a paralegal or case manager. Every question gets a real answer from the attorney handling your case.

Most immigration attorneys won't tell you their fees until after the consultation. We put ours on the front page.

From "I Do" to Green Card — 8 Clear Steps

The Adjustment of Status process typically takes 12–18 months. We guide you through every step so nothing falls through the cracks.

“Years before starting my green card process, Ruben helped me with some important immigration information back in 2017. He was so caring and helpful that I knew when the time came, he would be my attorney of choice. My situation was especially complicated, but Ruben made it happen. I am finally a Green Card holder and I couldn't have done it without him!”

“I'd honestly give this guy 6 stars if I could. I used Ruben's office to prepare my citizenship application and Ruben accompanied me to the interview which I passed. The price was extremely reasonable — I talked to about 8 lawyers before contacting Ruben, and he immediately put me at ease. He clearly knows exactly what he's doing.”

“My husband and I have been working with Ruben since 2017. We've been through three presidential administrations, COVID, and changes to migratory laws with Ruben as our lawyer. Through all the uncertainty, Ruben always had a plan A and plan B. It took 8 years and a lot of work but my husband finally got his permanent residential status.”
