I have hired the firms services on two occasions, the first was three years ago, they helped me obtain my E-2 visa, and everything was perfect. Last year, I contacted them again to process my Green Card, which was requested by my daughter and son-in-law. She had worked with Kalani before, so we knew we were in good hands. I have always received clear answers to any questions I had, and communication throughout the entire process was excellent. Additionally, the entire process was quick and efficient. Now, with my entire family in the United States, I feel calmer knowing that I can spend more time in the country without worries. And of course, I totally recommend them!

We wanted to apply for a green card, and although I had some experience with other types of USCIS apps, I wanted to get it right the first time. A lawyer from my company referred me to Hawks Villafranca Law, so I checked the reviews and felt confident about reaching out to them. The process was incredibly smooth and and they provided us with all the necessary information about the process and what we needed to do. The communication was efficient, and we received excellent guidance from Allison. I liked that whenever I had questions, she always informed me of the potential risks associated with each option. This made me feel secure, confident, and heard throughout the process. She was honest and straightforward at every step, keeping us informed of any changes or adjustments making sure we submitted our documents on time. Now that my green card has been approved, we are very excited to travel freely and were not worried anymore about my status. I am very grateful to the firm for all their help!

I contacted the firm because my father had been a client and previously worked with Kalani. I was looking for advice to renew my business visa, since my previous experience in another office had not convinced me at all. Therefore, I decided to approach Hawks Villafranca for my renewal. The collaboration between Jess, in the administrative part, and Kalani, with her extensive experience in the subject, was excellent. The service was always agile, with prompt attention and quick responses. There was great clarity in the process, the follow-up, the time planning and I really liked that closeness with one as a client. I am very happy with my renewal since I can now continue with my plans both at the family level and in my long-term business.

We discovered the office through YouTube. We watched a lot of videos and the content, along with the positive opinions there were, convinced us. I really liked that the treatment was always very honest and direct. The lawyer explained our options to us in detail and was very attentive to us; His treatment was always personalized, kind and very humane. I have acquaintances who have struggled a lot with their husband petition cases, but thanks to Attorney Kalani, our first step was much faster than other peoples. We felt that everything was very easy and had a great positive impact for us. With the office we feel supported, we receive very pleasant attention and we are very grateful for all your help.

We contacted the firm through a trusted acquaintance, since we needed legal assistance to obtain an investor visa and thus have zero complications when entering and leaving the United States to manage the business. Before getting the investor visa, we had to give a lot of explanations when entering the country because we had visits 8 or 9 times a year. Now, our entry is hassle-free. Once we contacted the office and had our appointment, we felt very confident. The lawyer was interested in all the details of our situation, and the fact that she spoke Spanish made communication much easier. We are very grateful for the professionalism at Hawks Villafranca Law. They always spoke to us in a very professional and transparent manner regarding the costs, times and details of the process; His communication was always fast and effective.

Someone from my company recommended Kalani for my immigration needs, and Im glad we followed her advice. Kalani and Allison were exceptional from the initial consultation to the final paperwork. Their enthusiasm for immigration work was evident, which immediately instilled confidence in us. The process was incredibly smooth, and their attention to detail was commendable. Their checklist provided clarity every step of the way, making the entire process very straightforward, and the shared Google Drive folder made document sharing seamless. As my wife and I prepare to move next month with a baby on the way, having my residence sorted out brings great peace of mind. The prospect of easily visiting my family this summer is fantastic! I highly recommend Kalani and her team to anyone navigating the immigration process. Their expertise and efficiency make a world of difference. Thank you!

We worked with Allison and the team on a less than common visa situation and subsequent application and were so thankful we chose HVL! We spoke to a number of firms before choosing HVL as they immediately identified an approach and interest in our case. The team worked with us thoroughly on planning an E2 including an expediated timeline due to our circumstances, and ultimately we got approval that in the end felt like a breeze mostly due to the application completeness and interview prep. Wouldnt hesitate to use again or recommend! Thank you again to all at HVL.

If you re looking for a law firm to help you with the immigration process, this is the one!! I reached out to them to help me fill my family based green card. Kalani is not only a great attorney, her whole team are excellent. Allison and Jess were exceptional in helping me through all of this too. It can be a daunting process, but with the help of their well structured checklist, constant help and overall abilities to get this done right then it made this all a breeze. With there help and some very lucky stars, I got my green card within 60 days! From filing to receiving the physical card. Needless to say, I ll be using them again in the near future with filing my naturalisation.

We worked with the firm again for my wife and stepsons residence cases. All the information that we got and the constant communications - they were always on top of things, and we always felt accompanied and supported. It was a long time of waiting, but we never had concerns, and I felt very good about the whole experience. Im really happy with all of the work that yall did, especially Allison, setting my wifes expectations for the consular interview and preparing her as she needed to be. We wouldnt have been able to figure it all out ourselves in this legalese labyrinth. Im very grateful! Thank you!!

I contacted the office again for support in the residency process for me and my son. It was not as complicated as I thought, although there are a lot of papers and documents. Thanks to you who have very good order and organization, I have been able to complete this process - I know that I would not have been able to do it alone! The professional support they gave us has been excellent, they have always answered our questions. The process was stressful and with a lot of waiting, but thats what this process is like. Now in the United States with my husband and son, we are very happy! Thank you!

I decided to do my O-Visa case with Kalani because he was very professional and friendly from the first call, explained all the options and evaluated my case in detail. I felt that in addition to having extensive experience and being a very capable attorney, she really listened to me, paid attention to what I needed, and had my best interest in mind at every stage of the process - something that gave me a lot of confidence. The process with the firm was clear - she and Jess are an excellent team who guided me towards obtaining the best possible result. I am very grateful that they always answered my questions, and I always felt very comfortable knowing where I was at each step of the process. They exceeded my expectations. Communication was fast, efficient and orderly. It is a complex job to put together a case for the O-Visa and they knew how to present it in the best possible way - something that I alone would not have been able to do. Now with my approved visa, I have the doors open to job opportunities that will make an extremely important difference in my life. I recommend them 100%. Thanks a lot!

Kalani was recommended to us and we looked at the website and reviews, and felt confident in going with her firm. Communication was really great from the very beginning, very fast responses with emails and calls. I felt that whenever we had questions, everyone was readily available and we were very comfortable with asking them about anything. HVL was really good at setting expectations for my marriage-based case, even though we were lucky enough to have our case processed by the government super fast. Having had really bad experiences with immigration in the past, it was actually very refreshing to have an attorney who gave me a timeline based on facts and experiences. It is very easy to lose track of what needs to be submitted and prepared, and so I am very grateful for how organized the whole process was. Now that I have my green card, I am no longer stressed or worried and my husband and I can focus on our relationship and plans for the future without the fear of what will happen, or if I will have to leave the country - relief and freedom! Thank you so much! I highly recommended the HVL team to anyone who is looking for an immigration lawyer.

Working with Hawks Villafranca was a really good experience. Kalani was very knowledgeable and knew exactly the type of visa my husband needed to carry out his master clinics in the U.S. There was a lot of work involved and the process was explained to us very well. Kalani was very good at explaining things step by step. There were quite a few things that were going to be difficult for us to do on our own, but you guys were always there willing to help us with the process. There were no negatives in the experience, you made it easy! Thank you very much!

I was looking for a legal advisor to obtain a visa that was according to my needs and the business plan I had for the future of my company. The first meeting with Kalani I definitely felt a lot of interest on his part and that the treatment would be very personalized, unlike other lawyers. From the beginning it was excellent, I felt a lot of professionalism from Kalani and the team. Everything was very well structured and super personalized, it was what I liked the most. Always attending to the needs and specifications of the case. I really liked the times managed, as fast as possible but always well done. Above all, I highlight the personalization of the office. I feel that having my E-1 visa now is like life insurance that allows me to be calmer. If something happens with the market niche, it allows me to go look for new niches and gives me a lot of peace of mind. At the family level, the most important thing is the study of my children, who will now be able to study in the USA. Thank you so much!!

In the first interview with Kalani, he gave me a lot of security and confidence to take my case, plus he spoke Spanish, I didnt think twice. Kalani is very friendly and very transparent. The process with the office was very nice, from communication to the collection of documents, very nice dynamic. I was always able to ask all my questions and they have been with me at all times.

Congratulations your visa has been approved. I obtained the E2 visa. How did I get it? After interviewing with 7 different lawyers, it was Kalanis turn, number 8, and ready we had our lawyer. My first recommendation is to choose the best lawyer. From that first interview I knew that I was going to be in the best hands. My business is aimed at a very specific and exclusive niche, which is an advantage. Kalani is not going to experiment on you, she is going to listen to your case and express the reality to you, she takes cases to win. Before deciding between the eight lawyers, I dedicated myself to understanding in detail the requirements for an E2 visa and I was sure that I satisfied them, so what I was looking for I found in Kalani, he inspired security and confidence in me, which convinced me to Kalani said to me: Im going to make a strong case for you. And so he fulfilled it. When months later I read his explanatory letter addressed to the consular officer, wow...it was a letter that led us to be approved. They notify us of the date for the interview at CDJ México. I had a strong case, I had a good business, I just needed to be 100% for the interview, however I had a lot of anxiety, but a week before we had a preparation appointment with Kalani, we went over the interview and he told me: I have no doubt that you will do well, we have a strong case. From that moment the anxiety disappeared and there was only security and confidence and with each step to the window thats how I felt. That day arrived and the officer only asked 4 questions: have you invested this amount $$$...?, what did you invest it in?, how many employees will you have in the 1st year?, will the employee you already have work full time? He didnt ask any of the questions that I rehearsed the most (the ones that explain my business and how I was going to develop it and make it successful), I think the reason is that Kalani is going to explain everything so that they hardly ask you questions. The officer took the green paper (it means approved, the blue sheet means that you are not approved) and told us: Congratulations your visa has been approved At the time of your interview at the consulate, your business must be real and active, you must be qualified to run it, it must not be marginal and an important point: the investment must be substantial, in this last point I want to contradict the myth that 6 of 7 lawyers I saw before Kalani, that you must have +100K for your case to be approved, the law does not say that, of course it must be substantial. So I recommend that if you have a good business project, listen to Kalani, but remember she is going to tell you the reality and only takes cases to win. I recommend that you first watch her YouTube channel Kalani Hawks Villafranca Everything is very organized with Kalanis law firm, there is continuous feedback and Kalani or Jess, his assistant, continually answer all your administrative and legal questions. @Jess is extraordinary and will make organizing everything much easier for you, follow all her suggestions. Kalani was the last of the 8 lawyers I interviewed with, I can assure you that if I had to repeat the story again...I would start with Kalani, the first.

I was looking to find a way to move to the U.S. on an O-1 visa. Kalani was very knowledgeable about the visa types and the work that would need to be done for my case. She was also very transparent with her answers to my questions, and did research where necessary, which gave me a lot of confidence because she was so honest. Communication was generally good and I really loved having Whatsapp communication with the firm, which made it super easy to communicate, especially with the time difference. Booking meetings was via a simple online booking system too which was great. Kalani and the team put together a pretty extensive case for me and looking at the sheer amount of case content, it was well-prepared and organized. I think it was an extremely compelling and meticulous case in the way it was presented to immigration. I got my O-Visa and I am now happily living and working in the US.

Following Kalanis help in our i-130 petition, it was a no brainer that we would continue the immigration process with her for Consular Processing. The assistance we received was so professional and meticulous, as usual! The prep session we had for the consular interview equipped me with all the tips I need to ace the interview and feel confident about the whole thing! She also made sure to provide me with all the required documentation I need to take with me. The way Kalani and Jess have everything organized and managed made me feel reassured that no documents would be incomplete or missing. Definitely helped relieve the stress that comes with consular processing! Would rate higher if i could!

We knew we wanted to move to the United States, but we didnt know where to start, we needed a lot of guidance in the process itself, and we had heard many different versions of what was needed for the investor visa. The experience and recommendation of some friends who obtained their visa with the office helped us a lot, and they highly recommended Kalani to us. It gave us a lot of confidence, we felt a lot of empathy from Kalani. The help was magnificent, all the guidance, support, closeness. There was always a direct communication channel and rapid escalation with Kalani, The attention and service was extraordinary. We had many questions and they were always very attentive and willing to answer, the truth is that sometimes we got nervous about everything that the process, the change of life, involved. The approval of our E-2 visas has brought us to the point where we wanted to be - start our project, receive the good that the country offers, so that our children take advantage of the opportunities, and contribute by generating with our company. I am very grateful that you have understood us and been patient! Thank you so much!

I came to Hawks Villafranca because I was looking to move to the United States with my family and for the children to start the school year this year. A close friend recommended Kalani to me, and the calls we had inspired a lot of confidence in me and I started with my case that resulted in a 4-year approval of my TN visa. They advised me throughout the entire process, and I am very happy with Kalani and his team. Always super open and positive in all calls, although we dont know each other in person, I feel like yes, the process was very pleasant. We have already moved to the USA and started our new life here. Thank you!

We contacted Kalani and the firm on the recommendation of a friend to evaluate work visa options. We wanted to understand what was the best type of visa that applied to our situation, and Kalani knew how to understand our environment and our profile very well to recommend the path to follow. They took us by the hand to consolidate the case information, preparation for the application, and preparation for the interview. We achieved the goal and obtained our E-1 visas, which will help us give children the opportunity to live and study in the United States and is a professional opportunity to accelerate our business. We are very grateful for the closeness, very open to conversations, and it has helped us a lot to be able to do it in our language, Spanish. Thank you so much!!

My big objective was to try to get my status adjusted, but I also needed to renew my DACA and file an advance parole application. I wasnt very satisfied with my previous attorney - it was always just a one-instance meeting for filing my DACA, and then I wouldnt hear anything from them, it was like a DMV type of thing. So I did some research online and I came across Kalanis YouTube channel and I really liked how she explained things. It was a good call on my part to hire Kalanis firm to handle my DACA renewal and advance parole case. I liked the constant updates, the promptness, being always updated here and there about how everything was going, which was really great. Very personal, prompt, and transparent and I always felt in the know. So far, with my DACA approved super fast and my undergoing advance parole, I am more than a satisfied client. Thanks!!!

You were always responsive, the interactions early on with the team were really good. It gave us a good feeling that you guys would take care of us, we didnt feel like a number. You were extremely thorough with documentation, asking for things, and for extra things just to make sure we had everything. This was super super helpful. Communication was great too, being able to communicate on whatsapp was super great.

We looked into hiring a law firm because there was not enough organized info online for my wife and I to be able to file our petition without any questions. After doing extensive research on different websites, we realized while watching Kalanis youtube videos that she was the most professional and knowledgeable person for the job. HVL took care of everything, from A to Z. We were able to work at our own pace, which was fast, and we worked with our time frame which always was as rapidly as possible. They took everything in stride and took care of our situation accordingly.

My husband and I needed assistance to file an I-130 petition for me, but we wanted to do it with a lawyer because we wanted a legal perspective, given that our entire relationship was long distance. We came across Kalanis YouTube video, and her explanations were super straight-forward and to the point. We had already made the decision to work with her just based on that video! We got in touch and she gave us a personable vibe we didnt get from other lawyers, and we were like, thats it, we are not doing our case with anyone else! Our case was handled so thoroughly and such a complete application was submitted. We couldnt have done it on our own, and they were amazing at reassuring us every step of the way - the personal element was really important in our interactions. Our petition got approved and now I have less to worry about! We now feel like there is an end to the long distance and everything is moving forward! Thank you!!

I wanted to get my green card via a spousal case, but I didn t know what the process was going to be like. I knew it would be tricky due to my DACA status. Kalani and her team were very helpful in walking me through the whole process, making sure everything was okay. We were able to adjust my status from the US after an approved advance parole case, which was really great given my fears about leaving the country. What was extremely helpful to me was the fact that all my questions were answered, no matter how basic they were. Kalani always made sure I had a good understanding of the process, which I really appreciated. I finally got my green card, which is awesome! It s a huge relief and piece of mind for me and my family. Ever since a very young age, I was always wondering what comes next, having to leave the country I grew up in, so now Im able to take a breath and not worry about that anymore. Thank you!

I had many doubts about my marriage case. The lawyer made me feel more secure, orderly, and confident. The fact that everyone in the office is bilingual was very important to me. They explained everything to us very well, they have experience, they gave me confidence, we had meetings periodically, they always clarified things, and they always answered our questions. We obtained favorable results with the approval of the petition. Now I see things clearer and closer, I see the goal closer, and I have a feeling of relief, of already seeing more palpable results and being closer to the final goal.

They care about all the details and ensure that you, as a client, are calm and understand the entire process perfectly, always with great communication. My case was an E1 visa that we managed to put together in a few weeks, we managed to have the interview at the consulate very easily, which was very quick because the case was so well put together that they had no doubts and in less than 5 minutes we were finished. At the end of the day, less than 4 months passed from the time we started the process to when I had the visa in hand!!!

We hired Kalani to obtain an investor visa for my husband to live in the USA. We chose to work with Kalani because of his dependability and experience. The service and customer attention in the office is spectacular, communication is always very clear and they have always taken the time to explain everything in great detail. We obtained the E-2 visa in better times than we would have thought, we never had any difficulties. Having this approval was a beneficial change in my lifestyle and my husbands business. Kalani and her office are the best recommendations I can make!

I was interested in living in the United States and quietly operating my business there. I heard from a reference about Kalanis office, and thats when I contacted her with the expectation of expediting my E-2 visa process. Kalani was very punctual at appointments with questions and requested documents. The recommendation of the business plan was very agile, everything was very fast. You could see the importance they gave to my case, a lot of satisfaction, the lawyer was always attentive to my case and the interview with the embassy was arranged very quickly. Kalani made my case stronger, and because of the way he structured it, they only asked me three questions in the interview and didnt need anything else for my approval. I was very happy and satisfied working with you, you never let me go, there was always contact and information. Very satisfied!

Kalani is the best! When we started with the idea of going to the United States we spoke to several lawyers but none of them convinced us 100%. When you are deciding to leave your country, family, friends and security behind to start a new life in another country, you want someone who knows the laws but also inspires confidence, someone who is honest and who tells you things as they are, with its advantages, but also with its risks. That was what we found in Kalani: an expert lawyer on the subject, honest, with excellent human qualities, hard-working, who reviews every last detail a thousand times to ensure that your application is perfect and reduce the possibilities to a minimum. of rejection. Furthermore, he always answered our calls, answered our questions and helped us prepare for the interview. We could not have found a better attorney for our case. He explained to us the different types of visas that were available to us, helped us analyze each option and in the end we applied for the E2 visa, which he helped us obtain in record time. I started looking for a lawyer and ended up gaining a great friend.

I was referred to Hawks Villafranca Law by a personal friend whom I trust. My goal was to obtain my U.S. citizenship and hire an attorney who could put the application together for me. Kalani and her team walked me through the whole process, made sure that all my questions were answered along the way, paid attention to all the points of concern in my application and made sure I had a compelling case. As a result, my case was approved, which was exactly what I wanted. Being able to get my American citizenship was huge for my life. I dont have to worry about the future and I know I can stay here indefinitely. Its definitely taken a weight off my back. I looked around a lot before choosing Kalani and I have ZERO regrets!

My experience with the immigration lawyer Hawks Villafranca Law is very good, she is very attentive and very professional, she helped me with the paperwork detail by detail, once you contact her, she takes care of everything and quickly and economically, even if I need some paper that is not within my reach, she guides me how I can obtain it and also so that I can sign it in case I do not understand her. She has her secretary Cristina, she is bilingual and also very professional in her work at any time I set for a question or something related. the applications she immediately helps me solve the problem I thank them because they are helping me with my vague visa case even before contacting the lawyer Hawks Villafranca Law there were some lawyers who determined that nothing could be done with my visa case humanitarian visa and when I contacted my lawyer she inspired me quite a bit of confidence that I immediately left my case in her hands and if it didnt take long with my paperwork on time we just wait for the response from immigration since they are the ones who will decide if she managed to get my visa I work but I have so much faith in God and the lawyer that I dont worry. Well, it is something that I can express myself and thank you for taking the time to read my little expression. God bless all of us who are requesting these services but to trust only in the lawyer Waks Villafranca Law. Thank you

When I have a potential client in need of an immigration attorney, I refer them to Hawks VillaFranca Law Firm. Kalani is professional and excellent at what she does, but she is also compassionate, empathetic and kind.

Kalani Hawks is a dedicated attorney who truly works to serve the community. I had the honor of working with her in her role with the Equal Justice Center and Texas Here to Stay Coalition, where she was instrumental in organizing free immigration clinics for the community. She has a wonderful reputation in the community and is always committed to making sure her clients (and the larger community) are informed about their options and national immigration legal updates. I would not hesitate to refer friends and loved ones to Kalani. She is an amazing attorney and a wonderful, kind, and dependable person.

Ive had the unique experience to have worked along side Kalani Hawks as well as being her client on my DACA case. When we worked together I was able to see first hand the high level of professionalism she carries with each and every client she helped. Kalani is an outstanding immigration lawyer who will make sure her clients are well informed and are aware on their options in their particular case. She does an amazing job of keeping clients informed and is responsive to any questions you may have along the way. In this new era of COVID, legal representation is evolving towards virtual meetings, and other online systems of communication/document sharing. Kalani is currently assisting me with my DACA Renewal application and thus far the virtual meetings have been seamless. Document sharing and signing have been secure through the online system she uses for her clients. Ive had such a good experience with Kalani. Talking to her has been so easy and has made me feel comfortable and secure sharing confidential information with her. If Kalani is your lawyer know that you will be in good hands.

I am the Director of Immigration Legal Services at Catholic Charities of Central Texas. I had the privilege to work closely with Kalani during her time at Equal Justice Center, and her dedication to clients and applicants at clinics were exceptional. She was heavily involved in the Texas Here To Stay Coalition, and always worked well with other organizations. She is intelligent, competent and dedicated to advocating for immigrants. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking representation for complicated immigration matters.

Kalani has been the best attorney I have had the privilege of working with. I went to a firm she was working with at the moment where she was thorough and courteous while taking my information. I told her that I was concerned about my application because I had an interaction with officers and wasnt sure how that would impact my application. She went out of her way to ensure that everything was filed correctly and that the application was perfect. I got my DACA a few months shortly after. It later came to no surprise that she was regularly volunteering her time at DACA clinics. I would encourage anyone to have her as their immigration attorney! Kalani ha sido la mejor abogada con el que he tenido el privilegio de trabajar. Fui a un bufete de abogados con la que estaba trabajando en el momento en que tuvo mucha attention a detalle y fue muy cortés mientras tomaba mi información. Le dije que estaba preocupado por mi solicitud porque tenía una interacción con los oficiales y no estaba segura de cómo eso afectaría mi solicitud. Ella hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que todo se archivara correctamente y que la solicitud fuera perfecta. Recibí mi DACA unos pocos meses después. Más tarde no fue una sorpresa que ella estuviera ofreciendo voluntariamente su tiempo en las clínicas de DACA. ¡Animaría a cualquiera a tenerla como su abogada de inmigración!
