They are very thorough and make sure you have everything you need to be able to get the results youre looking for. Very straightforward and professional. Bobby was extremely helpful and made it easy to work with them. The cost was not so bad considering the benefits. I would definitely recommend Michael and his team to help others get their green card. He usually answers texts messages right away so thats how I used to communicate with him. A little recommendation I would give Michael is to try and make it more exciting when the time comes to hand you your document, in the end of the day it IS a big deal for us to finally receive the so long waited for GREEN CARD. js Thank you Michael, God bless you.

My wife and I are pleased with the services provided by Mr. Ponder. We reached out to him during the pandemic and he has been wonderfully patient with us and our questions. When the State Department dragged their feet with our application and conditional release, Ponder assured us that everything is in order, and we recommend his services.

I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Micheal Ponder s law firm. Their team was not only easy to work with but also readily available whenever I needed assistance. Paralegal Omar was exceptionally efficient and thorough throughout the process. They guided me seamlessly through the process of applying for advanced parole and permanent residency, making the entire experience stress-free and efficient. I highly recommend their services to anyone navigating immigration procedures.

Michael Ponder is an excellent immigration lawyer. He answered all of our questions in our initial appointment with him. He shared an overview on how each step of the process would look like. Once he started working on our case, he ensured we received updates. He pays attention to detail. Another thing I liked about his services was that it is easy to get answers in case of concerns or questions. Im happy to say that my case was successfully approved in each step and it has successfully completed. I highly recommend his services.

BUYER BEWARE. I do not know how this business has 5 stars. Please please please just heed my warning. They may have a low price to file for green card, but his staff is absolutely awful and that is why the price is low. They will not tell you when your documents arrive, they will not provide interview information. You have to call daily for this as they dont care. They will explain the benefits of working with them and then after you pay thousands of dollars they will tell you different information after you already filed for the green card and have waited for months. The lawyer himself terminated our agreement because I fought back and told him the lies he provided us in the beginning via email with him and his paralegal. He is now sending the remaining balance to collections. We were his client, he lied to us regarding travel permits, and now he is telling me he never guaranteed anything and that I am unable to fight him in court. He protects himself from anything because you have to sign an agreement that confirms he is allowed to change everything. IF YOU USE THIS BUSINESS AND IT GOES WRONG, DO NOT BLAME THEM. BLAME YOURSELF BECAUSE I WARNED YOU HERE. There are so many lawyers in Austin, TX. Simply use a different one. Update as of 12/12/23 as Michael is trying to reply and look like I am not providing the entire picture. We have consulted another lawyer on this topic and the results are confirmed. We only had 2 questions for Michael when we started this process in March. The timeline and success of the travel and work permits. Without any hesitation he gave us the typical time frame. He let us know both are typically processed in 4 - 8 months. He knew this was important to us so she can see her family, etc. Exactly 5 months into the process I asked him his thoughts as we received the work permit 2 months prior. He told us verbatim I dont know when they are going to approve the advance parole (travel permit). Thats completely up to USCIS. I dont see many of those approved before the green card. Since shes not here for a green card interview, it seems unlikely that shell get approved for a green card (since she wont be able to attend the interview). So its likely that she will not get an advance parole if shes like most other applicants. This completely blind sided us as we trusted Michael. I then asked him why he lied to us in the beginning and his answer was Please be aware that we do not guarantee results or guarantee when applications will be approved. He then included legal wording from our contract agreement confirming this. Suffice to say, if he makes a mistake he will simply throw the contract in your face. Again, many lawyers in Austin, TX that can get you a green card. The process is extremely straight forward. The lawyer I consulted down the street from Michaels office is aware of all sides of this as is very sad that we are now in an extremely difficult predicament as my wife is now back in Mexico and has no way to come back to the US for a minimum of 1.5 years after many additional steps. Our new lawyer never lies to her clients and actually does not process a travel permit as there are risks involved if you do travel even with the permit approved. We only got about 10 to 15 minutes of his time ever through this process 5 months in and if he would have simple answered our question then with an honest answer on the travel permit we could have made a better decision for our future and career plans. Now she is unable to travel and thus the jobs she is attempting to get hired at are rejecting her outright. He let us know the paralegal that did 95% communication with us is no longer working there and also another staff member was going through a difficult time. We had other issues throughout that made him mention this to me. He messed up and threw the law at me when I confronted him. He will not have you back. Michael, you messed up, please stop trying to pretend you didnt.

The Immigration system is plagued with delays, mistakes by the system, and legal language that feels almost intentionally impossible to understand to discourage applications. Now add all of that and the fact that my particular case was one of the most complicated many firms had seen, and you have what I like to call a nightmare scenario. One I thought no immigration lawyer would be able to tackle or want to. One last search led me to Michael, and after reading all the fantastic reviews, even though I was skeptical, speaking to him and meeting him gave me the confidence to move forward. What I love about Michael and his team is that there is no sugarcoating. No telling you fluffy stories to make you feel better about one of the most challenging processes one will go through. He said it straight and set clear expectations, which were very helpful in managing this anxiety-inducing process. It was a complex process, from rejections to the government having conflicting information about me and everything else you think could go wrong. Michael stuck it out and pushed through it with incredible success. I couldnt be happier with the service, honesty, and persistence he and his team have shown me. If I can get my paperwork in order after my case, trust me, hire Micheal, stick it out, and you will too. I highly recommend using Micheal.

Just got my green card this week. Michael was very helpful and easy to work with. We contacted a few immigration attorneys and we chose him because his rate is the most affordable. We were also pretty comfortable with him during the first phone call. Whenever we have questions, he was always available and responded quickly. It took a little longer to get my green card but while waiting, he also submitted the expedite request for us, helped us to get my travel parole so that I could go back to my home country to visit my sick mother without affecting the application. I recommended Michael to my friend and I will still recommend him to anyone who needs an immigration attorney

They are professional, provided proper guidance and ensured that I was well equipped and ready for the interview. I will hire them again if needed. Well worth it. Michael was very helpful, he was thorough and reviewed all our documents well. We only hired him to review documents before submitting, but he still followed up with us on our case status even though we werent paying him anymore. For me, that was real service and genuine concern for our case. I would hire him again if needed and I highly recommend him to others.

Mr Ponder represented me during my application for citizenship, he was a delight to work with, and extremely knowledgeable of the process. He worked with me on some of the trickier parts of my application leaving me feeling very confident about the success, we went through the details of my application multiple times to make sure that I was comfortable with them and even did some practice interviews so that I would be less intimidated by the interview. Meetings were always punctual, at no time was the process rushed, both Mr Ponder and his office followed up on every detail all the way through to my citizenship ceremony. I could not be happier with my experience.

He even traveled to San Antonio from Austin for one of my appointments. Mr.Ponder showed that he cared about me and not just my case.

A few years back I tried working with the Gonzalez firm, paid them in full & after having me bounce around from assistant to assistant and never fully helping me getting my case in full together and after requesting I provide endless paperwork proof, I didnt have, so I gave up on them.. Forward a few years after feeling faithless, hopeless, and helpless, and after hearing about Atty. Michael Ponder, I gave him a call, we met (the actual attorney, not an assitant) sat down gave my case a review, he pulled out a few law books, layed them out in front on the conference table went up and down referencing a few pages and he used plenty of sticky notes to bookmarks imports points he felt for my particular case and then he proceeded to give me a thumbs up on applying with his knowledge confidence and as well with his prior success rate on DACA applications to submit. About two weeks after submitting, I received a letter for and appointment for prints and background. A few months later I received another letter requesting further proof of stay, once that was submitted about two weeks after (and after many prayers) the approval letter arrived and then work card came in mail.. Michael or Miguel is with you every step of the way, great at keeping you updated or reminding you when deadlines to turn things in are coming up. He is patient, speaks spanish quite well, and is very available. Overall great experience with Miguel, & god willing I will continue to work with him in the future as long as his services are available. I have already been referring potential clients to him.. Thank you Michael again, definitely more tranquil with the raucous this new administration created at the moment.. ~Hector

I can honestly say that Mr. Ponder is very dedicated to our clients needs. I have seen him turn down certain cases to be able to focus on the ones he already has. His prices are extremely fair and his main focus is making others happy and making sure our clients cases are approved! I highly recommend Mr. Ponder for your immigration needs.

For the past 5 year my husband and I went through lawyers after Lawyers who took our money and never returned calls or said anything to us. We contacted Michael Ponder, at our first meeting he told us what we would have to do, and everything was simple and clear. Mr. Ponder is very Professional and extremely knowledgeable, our second meeting with Mr. Ponder, we delivered all the documents he asked for. He Kept us well informed, returned all our calls. Within week we received documents for fingerprint, by far the best lawyer, I would highly recommended Michael Ponder as an attorney to anyone needing a lawyer, Great Job.

Michael is a very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Before deciding who to trust with my case, I searched and met with various lawyers. I was impressed with Michaels communication skill and helpfulness; even in 30 minutes he gave me clear guidance, advice, and details that I was looking for. Once I was his client, he explained the general process and got started on my case right away. He handled my case very well, and perhaps what was even more appreciated was how much he communicated with me about each step. He gave me clear directions and help that I needed. I cannot be more thankful!

Michael Ponder has been a blessing to me and my family. After 2 lawyers and 3 consults from other lawyers we had no luck. They only took our money.So after 8yrs we finally get peace. It as a fair price and lot cheaper than others. As soon as we hired him he went to work on our case right away. I will 100% refer Michael Ponder to any one who needs help with immigration. Michael thank you for all that you have done a continue to do.

He is an excellent lawyer and very kind, the best experience and the only thing you can see in moments is that he himself answers the phone, it doesnt matter whether the assistant or one and another person answers you, he speaks clearly if he could help you or not, it was a great blessing. For me and my family to have known him, thank you very much. May God bless you always and never change and always continue with that humility that has led you to success. Thank you very much for my work permit.

It is my pleasure to recommend Attorney Michael Ponder. For my needs he was the ideal person, he listened to my case and concerns on one on one meeting. After listening and a few questions, with great knowledge, Michael made the right recommendation, and a week later he took care of it. Finding the simplest effective solution was exactly what I needed. Thank you. Carlos Peoli It is my pleasure to recommend Attorney Michael Ponder.

Michael you are great I can tell you love what you do which is helping people. I got to privilege to know him from one of my dearest friend, when I was desperate and in need of a true and honest attorney. I had looked around Austin and met with other lawyer but non of them inspired loyalty. Thanks for showing me the way and for being super patient with me.

Michael Ponder is an excellent Immigration Attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and doesnt mind taking the extra time to answer questions and explain processes. He helped me convert my permanent residency to U.S. citizenship. His firm is also reasonably priced in comparison to some of the other firms out there. I highly recommend Michael and his team.

Really appreciated the service from Michael Ponder, I was a bit stressed out with immigration and he really put me at ease. I thought I could do push through myself but relented and called him, best move I every made he spotted some mishaps on my paper work and set me straight. Now it feels good to be a US Citizen.

Michael Ponder is an excellent immigration lawyer and although he had never taken on a same-sex case until ours prepared us for the worst case scenario all the while keeping up a most positive attitude. he took the stress out of the detail of something much greater than ourselves and put it into an approachable light. I highly recommend his expertise and guidance thru an otherwise difficult process. and so does my husband from Poland who now possesses a green card and can travel between countries at ease.
