FRAUD WARNING: Protect Yourself from Immigration Scammers and Impersonators

We have been made aware of individuals impersonating Pardo Law Firm, PLLC and its attorneys through social media, WhatsApp, and requesting payments via Zelle. These individuals fraudulently claim to represent our firm and solicit payment from prospective clients.

Pardo Law Firm will NEVER:

  • Contact you through social media, WhatsApp, or any personal account
  • Request or collect any fees through social media, WhatsApp, or informal channels. All payments are processed through our official office only
  • Ask for payment toward your case before a formal consultation has been completed and a signed engagement agreement is in place
  • Request payment via Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or any personal payment platform. Any Zelle payment accepted by our firm is processed only to an official business account in the firm's name
  • Promise or guarantee a specific outcome in your immigration case
  • Refer you to a nonprofit, charity, church, or any third-party organization to assist with or offset your legal fees. We have no affiliation with any outside organization of this kind

How to verify you are communicating with our firm:

  • Use only our official phone number and email address listed on this website
  • Call our office directly to schedule and confirm any consultation before providing personal information or making any payment
  • If you have any doubt about who you are speaking with, you may request a video call with the attorney to visually confirm their identity
  • Please note that our consultations are not free. If someone offers you a free consultation claiming to represent our firm, treat it as a warning sign.
If you believe you have been contacted by someone impersonating Pardo Law Firm, do not send any money. You may report the incident to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and to your local law enforcement agency.

NEW IMMIGRATION PROCESS

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announces a new process to promote family unity and stability. These new measures facilitate the regularization of undocumented spouses and children of U.S. citizens. To be considered, a person must:

  • Have entered without a permit or parole,
  • Have been continuously present in the United States since June 17, 2014, and
  • Have a valid marriage with a U.S. citizen on or before June 17, 2024.

The program has NOT yet started. USCIS is expected to announce the start of the program later this summer. For more information or to find out if you qualify, you can schedule an appointment by calling 704-644-7065.

For details on the announcement, follow this link to the official DHS page.
