 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fui arrestado por ICE tras cruzar accidentalmente la frontera con Canadá. Mientras estuve detenido, vi cómo muchos otros, sin antecedentes penales o con menos historial que yo, fueron negados fianza una y otra vez. A pesar de eso, el abogado Reuben Kerben del bufete de abogados Kerben me representó con firmeza, superó los argumentos de ICE y convenció al juez de darme una fianza baja. Hoy soy un hombre libre gracias a él. Si tienes un familiar detenido por ICE, no lo pienses dos veces: llama a este abogado.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Después de tener una orden de deportación desde el 2008, el abogado Reuben Kerben logró reabrir mi caso con estrategias creativas que ningún otro abogado había considerado. Varios me dijeron que no era posible, pero él atacó el NTA por falsedad y demostró que nunca recibí notificación adecuada. Es un abogado honesto, detallista y muy profesional. ¡Recomiendo su oficina al 100%!
