CLIENT REVIEWS
Nothing short of a Miracle!
After five years of working with other attorneys we came to Patty and she was able to do in 6 months what others couldn’t do in years. Multiple attorneys did not want to take the case as they saw it too complicated. Patty accepted and attacked it. She is kind and cares about her clients but do not be fooled, she is a pit bull when it comes to fighting for her clients. She stayed on top of our case and did not need reminders, she always reached out and told us how it is. The result was sweet and the journey unforgettable. I highly recommend Patty and her staff. They have heart and are super professional and knowledgeable.

A FIGHTER!
I highly recommend Patricia! She is excellent, well prepared, helpful, very straightforward, and doesnt beat around the bush. You want to win a case you got to get Patricia! Her years of experience and knowledge of the legal system will help you win your case no matter how difficult it may be. This is her passion, and she will fight for you as she did for me.

I am so excited to say I found the best layer ever! She sat me down talked about my case told me what will happend!! And she made it happened she vacated two of my cases! I know god send her to me! I beyond blessed and happy Patricia corrales thank you so much!!

I highly recommend the Law Office of Patricia Corrales. She is a professional and knowledgeable immigration attorney. When she took my case she presented to me all the options, was upfront and I knew she truly had my best interests at heart. My case hit a few bumps in the road but I never doubted her abilities. And thanks to her efforts I am now a legal permanent resident. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Patty and her office staff. They are the best!

This a very strong, powerful lawyer. She won my husband's LONG case charges. I highly recommend her. The office staff is very professional and friendly.

Don't even know where to start. I had an aggravated felony 18 years ago as a teenager. I was under the impression that if I completed my probation and hadn't committed any new crimes, I could easily renew my green card. (Boy I was wrong!) I was also able to expunge my crime. My green card expired in 2015 and I went to meet an attorney in the Glendale area. What he told me was shocking to me. He said that I am not eligible to renew my green card and I'm at risk of being deported anytime. For 8 years I was living in fear and anxiety. I couldn't travel with my fiancé, family or any of my friends.
Every attorney told me I have a 1% chance of becoming a US citizen. I was devastated. A friend of mine that is also an immigration lawyer kept bringing up Patricia's name. He told me that she was winning impossible cases. He used the word miracle several times. At that point, I was so depressed and I pretty much gave up. I met with Patty in Feb 2022. The energy I got from her was positive right away. She's very tough and professional. She told me that I shouldn't wait anymore and trust in her ability to submit for my green card renewal. I was told it can take up to 18 months. Around December 15th she called me with the good news! "Christmas came early" she told me. I almost cried and I couldn't believe it. After 8 years of getting rejected by different lawyers, I finally got my green card.
But that was just the beginning of our battle. I immediately hired Patricia to work on both of my post convictions relief cases. She was able to make the impossible! She won my case 1/4/2023 and now I can file for my citizenship! She is the best in what she does. I will be forever thankful to her. She is godsend. If you have immigration problems please call her. You won't find anyone that cares this much about her clients.

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." — Shakespeare, Henry VI
I argue that we must make an exception for Patricia Corrales.
Patty truly is excellent as a lawyer and as a person! She will talk to you straight. Curiously, what made us first trust her was that she pointed out a problem with my husband's case that no one in the prior 20 years had ever brought up. She said that we might have issues with that, and sure enough, we did. It was all related to the way his asylum application, which a notary calling himself a lawyer filled out, worded some things. I have an M.A. in English, but I never would have realized that such phrasing would be interpreted a certain way. Patty caught it within the first couple minutes of starting to look at our file.
So we felt that if Patty was not telling us that she would win but only that she would do everything in her power to try to win, she must be pretty honest. And it turns out that she is a shark! She HATES to lose and will do anything to win. But we can tell that is because she genuinely cares about her clients and wants the best for them. So she will fight hard for the people she cares about.
It also doesn't hurt that Patty worked for ICE for 17 years and helped develop some of the techniques used against immigrants by ICE lawyers. That makes her better able than most to deal with the tricks used by ICE. She also knows the judges and government representatives well. That means that she knows what will convince each particular judge and what angles the opposition likes to use. That's quite an advantage.
So if I haven't made it clear yet, I was highly impressed by all the work Patty did on our case. We didn't win, but we didn't lose either, and that is what is most important. My husband gets to stay in the United States. I've sent more than one friend to Patty. They have been pleased, and I know you will be too.

I highly recommend Patricia Corrales as your attorney for immigration issues. She was able to help me with mine. She is very knowledgeable and did not lose any time to get what I needed done. Upon meeting with her, she immediately started working on my case and filled out all the paperwork right in front of me while I gathered information that she needed to strengthen my case. When we appeared in court, it seemed like my case would not go as I was hoping, but she took it upon herself to go above and beyond to help me as much as she could. I am happy that it all worked out in my favor and she got me what I needed. Highly recommend her. Give her office a call. Her whole team is very polite and helpful.

I am not just thankful but blessed to have such amazing woman and lawyer in my life! She has not only helped me but also has helped my family fixed our immigration status. I have no words to express my gratitude towards this amazing woman and her team of super women who help people like me and many others. Mil gracias!

Very rarely do I give out reviews to my colleagues, but Attorney Corrales is one of the best among us--particularly in the area of post-conviction relief for immigrants. I refer a lot of my clients to her precisely to clean up their records, and as an attorney who has been practicing for 25 years, I can say that Attorney Corrales is one of the best in Southern California!

Thank you Patricia Corrales for being a great lawyer. In my immigration case, everything was successfully taken care of within 6 months. Thanks to Patricia’s great work and effort I did not have to go through an interview. I recommend her 100%. She has helped other members of my family with positive results.

Patty has been with us through thick and thin. She has helped me and my family through our immigration journey. We went through so many lawyers who were not able to help us. Patty was always there with her helping hand. She tried all avenues and treated us like family. We are now Green Card holders because of her. She never gave up on us. Rest assured that you will be in good hands when she takes your case.

Patricia gained my wife her green card after 1 year from the application date. My wife came to the U.S. with a visa, and we got married and decided to live our life here in the U.S. As part of the process, an interview is required prior to obtaining a green card, however, due to Patricia's excellent representation of our case no interview was required. My wife got her green card and now we can focus our life on growing as a family and raising our 6-month-old baby here in the US. Thank you Patricia and I totally recommend her services to anyone.

There’s not enough stars for Patricia! I am beyond grateful to attorney Patricia M Corrales . We have been struggling for about 30 years with multiple attorneys some wouldn’t even dare take our case. The ones that did were not successful or didn’t explain to us that the process we were paying them for would not help us in our immigration case. Patricia has returned all faith in my husband's opportunity to become a permanent resident. She has been very detailed in explaining to us the process and steps needed. She was successful in Vacating my husband’s criminal case that obstructed his possibility to become a resident; after 30 years it finally disappeared all thanks to the knowledge and skills only Patricia possesses! My husband, children, grandchildren, and of course myself are forever grateful to her. We can’t wait to continue our journey with her now with my husband's immigration case! I 1000 percent recommend her for all those that are starting an immigration process and for those like us; who when we thought we had no more hope Patricia and her team came through for our family. Stop looking you have found what you are looking for she and her team are it!

She is great, I was able to become a citizen and naturalize. The process was straightforward and, as she mentioned, "the fastest person to get processed in the history of her office". I saw no complications and recommend booking an appointment for her services. I am now going through the process of requesting for my wife to become a citizen as well.

Patricia gained my wife her green card after 1 year from the application date. My wife came to the U.S. with a visa, and we got married and decided to live our life here in the U.S. As part of the process, an interview is required prior to obtaining a green card, however, due to Patricia's excellent representation of our case no interview was required.
