We found Jonathan Mendoza through Yelp, and he was the third and last attorney we sat down with when we were shopping for lawyers. He made us feel at ease in that he clearly explained the different paths that we would potentially have to go through. The other lawyers we had previously met with in person were either 1) SHADY or 2) did not seem engaged enough in our case for us to confidently hire them. Having a straightforward, honest and knowledgeable attorney to represent us was non-negotiable as we did not want to waste ANY time or money. And we are glad we went with Empire Law as we are now highly satisfied customers!
We were looking to Petition for an Alien Relative (USCIS I-130 form) and we had a slightly complex case. Both the attorney and his SUPER paralegal, Gabriela, are extremely knowledgeable in the realm of immigration law and they efficiently guided us through the entire process. Not only did they accommodate to our availability, but they clearly instructed which documentation to gather in support of our application despite having met in person only a handful of times. They filled out a BIG stack of paperwork on our behalf and our interview appointment arrived within 3 months of them submitting our application.
In addition, they had a representative accompany us to our interview with USCIS in San Bernardino. Our interview went very well, and while it was partially due to the kind immigration official who interviewed us, we had been fully prepared with the documentation we would be asked for, had been mock interviewed by our legal team and our application was accurately filled out. Final (minor) amendments were clearly marked in advance of the interview for the official to review and approve. The overall process was a lot smoother than we had anticipated it would be before we started- thanks to this awesome duo!
The price was right based on the services we received from them. There was a minimal consultation fee, but it was applied towards our balance. We have recommended their services to our friends and family. If we ever need immigration attorneys again, we will without a doubt go back!

I highly recommend Empire Law Inc. to everyone! Attorney Jonathan Mendoza helped me with my Request to dismiss my felony probation and my Request for a felony expungement in San Bernardino County. Due to my job, Jonathan understood how important it was for me and my family to have my record clean and He never let me down. I went to court with only 22 months of probation served, and he got the job done. DA objected my request for early termination of probation and BOOM! Mr. Mendoza took over the court room and judge granted my request. I didn’t have to wait and serve the 3 years of probation thanks to Empire Law Inc. Thank you!

Jonathan is an awesome lawyer. He really cares about your situation and is willing to go to bat for you. He was always in constant communication with my situation. I'll definetly reffer him to family and friends.
Atty. Jonathan Mendoza is an amazing lawyer. He has been nothing but helpful. With years of experience in Criminal and Immigration Law, he guided me through the process of getting my past charge expunged and answered all my questions about US residency and the naturalization application process. His availability and willingness to answer all my inquiries put me at ease. Since the first consult he has not disappointed me. He is very nice and made me feel comfortable to express my worries. Atty. Jonathan and his assistant kept in constant touch with me. He replies to my text messages and returns my calls as soon as he is able to. I can feel that he sincerely cares for me and what will happen to me. So thank you, Atty. Jonathan Mendoza.

A friend of mine gave me Jonathan’s assistant number and told me to try out his law office because they are good people. Then my husband and I tried to reach out to his assistant asking for help with our case. We received a letter of intend to deny from USCIS, and even the attorney we hired before didn’t want to continue with our case.
We had the 3rd interview on September, so I called Jonathan’s assistant explain to her our case. She then set a phone call so that my husand I could talk to Jonathan. The first feeling we had through the phone with him was very good so we decided to go with him. It turned out that we found the right people. One week before the interview, Jonathan and his assistant sat down with us to do the mock interview for 4 hours. He said it’s always better to be over-prepared than we went to the interview with under-prepared. Jonathan is an amazing attorney, he had so much experiences in criminal and civil cases that helped my husband got out of his shyness and un confident to do the interview.
3 weeks after the interview, we received a letter from USCIS to submit my medical exam and we are waiting for the last decision. During the time working with Jonathan, we felt very comfortable and happy. They are very friendly and responsive. His assistant always gets back to you asap. She is very helpful and a sweetheart. Jonathan is very trustworthy. You can count on them to help you with your issue :)
I absolutely and completely recommend them, and definitely will come back to them after 2 years granted the Green Card so that they can help me to remove my condition.

I highly recommend Jonathan at Empire Law, he’s very knowledgeable and professional. He provides feedback in a timely manner, keeps you updated on the status, changes, or whatever is pending on your case. He is always available to answer any questions and treats his clients with respect, a genuine good honest person who looks out for the client’s best interest. I can’t say enough about the great service I was provided. I hope I never get in trouble with the law again, but if I do I will definitely contact Empire Law.

Empire Law Inc. helped me out with a dui situation that I had from years ago. I had to go to court but at the time I had to much going on at work that I couldn’t miss. So Mr. Johnatan Mendoza helped me out in so many ways. He helped me out by representing me in court and getting the dui cases off my back by him doing his work. I thank God for the dui dismissed because it had happen at a time where I was 18 and when it came back to struck me when I was already 21 years of age. I got recommended to Mr. Mendoza by someone that Iv seen in court when I had to go the very first time. And ever since Mr. Mendoza has been a caring, very reliable, trustworthy person. That he cares a lot to help out people. And I would say that’s what I really liked about him that he would constantly communicate with you, reach out to you to let you know how things are going. Since the day that he solved my dui case, till this day he still calls and checks up on me to see how I’m doing. And I don’t think Iv ever met another attorney like that. Ever since he solved my case I been able to drive around more relaxed and not feel scared when a cop pulls me over. Iv also been able to apply more in other jobs because back then when I had that dui going on for the type of career that I have they would do back ground check and I couldn’t get the job that I wanted but ever since Mr. Mendoza solved my case iv been able to get answers in companies that I apply for. I definitely would recommend Empire Law to anyone out there that needs a reliable attorney.

(Translated by Google) On my part and with the testimony of 2 friends who are very close to me because of my coexistence, I recommend and assure that at least 13 different budgets and all unattainable because for cleaning my criminal record, the one that charged me the least was 7500.00 which I asked for half and another half before submitting my documents without ensuring what could happen and talking to Jhonanatan later and bluntly with honesty and humanity with the heart that characterizes him took my dipper so I do not tell them because I already have a year that I clean two of my criminal offenses and thanks to if I allude to this price I already have a job something that I do not pay with money but that lawyers like him do not exist in any corner and if it is not the only one in Riverside County, but if it is the only ones to and with a heart of gold because he is aware when charging and fighting for our rights Thank you God Always health and hard work Blessings to cough in his office. I would never like to see him again because I don't want any more legal problems, but if I come back to say hello, it is simply to congratulate that he is a Judge of the courts in Riverside.
(Original) De mi parte y con testimonio de 2 personas amistades muy allegadas a mi por convivencia mía, recomiendo y aseguro que de mínimo 13 diferentes presupuestos y todos inalcanzables pues por limpiar mi récord criminal el que menos me cobraba eran 7500.00 los cuales pedía la mitad y la otra mitad antes de someter mis documentos sin asegurar lo que pudiera pasar y al a hablar con Jhonanatan luego y sin rodeos con honestidad y humanidad con el corazón que le caracteriza tomó mi cazo por lo que no les digo pues ya tengo un año que me limpio dos de mis delitos criminales y gracia a si aluda y o esto precio ya tengo un trabajo algo que no con dinero le pago sino que Abogados como el no existen en cual quiera esquina y si no es el único en condado de Riverside, pero si es el único ones to y con corazón de Oro pues es consiente al cobrar y pelear por nuestros derechos Gracias Dios le De siempre salud y mucho trabajo Bendiciones a tos en su despacho. Jamás quisiera volver a verle por que no quiero más problemas legales pero si vuelvo saludarlo sea simple mente para felicitar que es Juez de los tribunales en Riverside.

A family friend of mine suggested I contact Mr.Mendoza at Empire Law Inc. We already had a court date and wasn't sure if we afford an attorney if they even wanted to take the case. Mr. Mendoza got back to me via email and phone. We meet up and I knew we needed his help. Thank God he was available and trustworthy. His team helped us along tje way as well. The day of court came and everything turned out the best possible outcome for us. We could not have done it without the team at Empire Law Inc. And Mr. Mendoza works out of the Riverside, San Bernardino, and Rancho Cucamonga courthouses. Probably more but that means me knows more about our area than a law firm from Los Angeles coming out here. We are in cloud nine. I've already referred him to my friends and family. One of the better decisions we've ever made.

Jonathan Mendoza is amazing, he first was a great public defender and after he started his own practice I sought out his legal services once more and again was amazing with how he handled my situation. His practice is professional and treated me as if I was family. He answered all my legal questions and steered me and my case in the right direction ending in a successful closed case. I will and would recommend him to family and friends along with anyone looking for legal support and representation. Not only does he work hard right along side you to help you overcome your case successfully in your favor, but he keeps it real and let’s you know exactly what’s going on and what you need to do to have a successful outcome when it comes to your court case and representation. Great job Jonathan I appreciate you and all your advice and services you have supported me and my family with.

I reached out to Jonathan for help with my brother's case. He had been arrested for assault and a few other felony charges, a total of 5. This was partially a result of it being his second run in with the law. Things were not looking good for my brother, but I reached out to Jonathan and he started working on his case right away. Even going to Adelanto to visit him in person. Because of Jonathan's diligent and thorough investigation, he was able to find a major flaw in the DA's case that ultimately brought down my brother's charges significantly and getting him released from jail immediately. My brother could have chosen to proceed with a public defender but it is highly unlikely that a public defender would have found the inconsistency that Jonathan and his team found. If you're looking for a thorough attorney and someone able to empathize with your situation, this is where your search ends.
