"Working with the Jurado Firm, particularly Whitney Jurado, was an absolute game-changer for us. As an immigration attorney, Whitney exceeded all our expectations, not once, but twice—first, when my partner applied for his residency card after we got married, and again when it came time for renewal. Both experiences were nothing short of phenomenal.
What sets Whitney and Carlos Jurado apart is not just their unparalleled expertise in immigration law, but their genuine empathy and support for their clients. As an LGBT couple, finding professionals who not only understand but also respect and champion your rights can be challenging. Whitney and Carlos are those rare gems who make you feel seen, heard, and valued. Their dedication to fostering better opportunities for people like us in the USA is truly commendable.
In a world where the legal process can often feel daunting and impersonal, Whitney and Carlos Jurado stand out for their compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to their clients' best interests. Anyone looking for immigration attorneys would be hard-pressed to find a team more dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive than the Jurado Firm. They are, without a doubt, the best immigration attorneys anyone could ever hope to work with."

"I extend my deepest gratitude to my attorney Whitney for her excellent legal representation in my asylum case. Their professionalism, experience and dedication were fundamental to obtaining a successful result. Also to my legal assistant Xiomara, I deeply appreciate her excellent work on my case. Her ability to explain every detail of the process to me clearly and concisely was invaluable. And of course, thank you to the entire Jurado Firm team. They were always available to answer my questions and I was kept informed at all times."

"Hello to all those people who want to begin an immigration process such as an adjustment of status, please allow me to recommend the Jurado Firm. I am in process and I am very happy with your service and assistance at all times. Thanks to the lawyer and his assistant, Miss Stephanie, who is an essential person who has helped us from the beginning and they already gave me my work permit. Thank you very much, Miss Stephanie, and also to the entire team who make it possible to achieve this dream."

"I was able to get a free consultation with Attorney Carlos at The Jurado Firm and eventually I decided to go with them. My legal assistant was Stephanie at the Bakersfield address and overall my experience was made quick and easy. I started with them in spring of 2023 which were a quiet few months because I had to get all my documents in order but in December 2023. I submitted my documents and after the holidays in February 2024 they submitted my Adjustment of status and I received my green card in just under 45 days in March of 2024."
