Some comments from our clients;

My wife and I were very, very fortunate to have Mr. Aquino handling her complicated and challenging immigration case. His formidable knowledge of immigration law and the "ins" and "outs" of the process and all the steps along the way was very apparent from the beginning, and he kept us well-informed and updated in a timely manner. His patience, compassion and professionalism combined to make the entire experience that much easier on us, given the great stress my wife and I were under at the time, given that we were fighting to reverse a deportation order. The good news--besides that we had Romben on our side--was that his abilities and efforts paid off, and the case was resolved to our great relief; my wife is now a legal permanent resident in the USA, moving toward eventual citizenship. I can't recommend anyone more highly than Romben Aquino.

- Blair G, Los Angeles

I met Romben at a law office in New York where my husband was submitting his Naturalization papers. It was 5 months after my husband and I got married and 1 month after submitting our paperwork, that my husband bumped into an ICE team by our home and was detained by immigration because he had an open deportation warrant. Immigration had a valid passport and an airplane ticket to deport him within the next month. I think for most immigration/deportation cases, this is as bad as it gets and in retrospect, I think everyone expected my husband to be sent back to his home country on the date of that airplane ticket. But at the bottom of every well, there is a light and Romben made the light shine to the very bottom of the deep deep well I was trapped in. He was able to stop my husband's scheduled deportation and filed every set of paperwork possible to keep my husband in the country for our Naturalization interview. The entire process was a touch and go situation - a roller coaster of slightly good news, and then more bad news; but Romben helped us through it all. He kept me informed of what steps he was taking to try to stop the deportation and spent the extra time to explain the law and tactics behind every strategical move. He kept me updated to every change in the case through telephone and email, and even updated me on every interaction he had with the office detaining my husband. He was always patient through my many times of panic and gave me the hope I needed to stay strong for my husband. In the end, Romben won and Immigration lost. My husband was released after 9 months of being detained, with his green card, and in approximately 13 months, he would be able to apply for his citizenship. Everyday my husband and I are thankful of the efforts that Romben and his team put into our case to get us where we are today. I told you our story in order to show you that Romben has the knowledge, talent, and dedication to handle the most challenging cases with success. I recommend Romben wholeheartedly. Thank you Romben!

I was applying for permanent resident status, and Romben did a great job of explaining our options, the process and what to expect, and even went with us to our interview. We were so impressed with the time he took to make sure we felt comfortable, were informed, and had all the right documentation for our case. We highly recommend him to anyone involved in the immigration process.

I have much gratitude to Romben for ALL his dedication and hard work on my behalf. Just when things were looking bad for my deportation case, he was the one to handle it with knowledge and resourcefulness. He provided me options on how to proceed forward with it and kept in touch with me communicating the stages and updates. After it was reversed and we went on to the next stage, he met with my husband and myself during which he patiently clarified any questions we had prior to the interview and reviewed our documentation. He is very clever at what he does and he does it pleasantly. Thank You Romben. IN ADDITION ... After great success with my case through Romben's help, I referred a business colleague to him. Although she had already signed up with another lawyer, she shared with me that he was so kind and gave her a consultation despite her not being a client and left his door open for her should she need more advice! I don't know any other immigration attorney these days that would take the time of day to do this!! Romben is professional, knowledgeable, kind, patient and generous with his time and information. Go with him as he pays attention to the details that could make a difference in a case.

- Tania C, Los Angeles

I had biases, and I was skeptical at that point. So I was like, ‘You know, he's making these jokes right now. Is he gonna take my case seriously?’ If it wasn't for Thony, I don't know if I would have gone with Romben. I'm so glad that I did, because I remember after that consultation, I told Thony, ‘I know that my mind is clouded right now.’ So kind of piggy backing off what he said about having support. But I think if someone's not used to an approach like Romben’s, I think giving it a chance, because he is really knowledgeable. He just has a different approach, but it really works.

We were looking for someone who had great empathy, was very knowledgeable, had interest in our case, and was willing to accompany us every step of the way. We were lucky to find all of this and even more in Romben, including his great sense of humor and love for ramen.

We found Romben while we were traveling in Peru. We called him the day before we climbed Machu Picchu and had a quick 10 minute conversation with him. We were at a hostel and couldn't hear anything. The music was blaring in the background, but it was one of those introductory, like, ‘Hey, would you take us on?’ and Romben immediately clicked into Peru because he had done the Inca trail or something. So we talked about Peru and we immediately just felt like, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is our guy. I love him.’ He just made us feel so at ease. We could talk to him obviously a lot about other things other than immigration and what we needed to do, but we just felt so comfortable with him that that's why I mean he was just our guy and from then on, he's just been a pleasure to deal with and a delight.
