Texas Immigration Law Firm Named Best in the State and Best in the U.S

SAN ANTONIO - Nov. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- the San Antonio –based immigration law firm of De Mott, McChesney, Curtright & Armendariz (DMCA) has had a successful 2013 and 2014 is already looking to be a most stellar year for the nearly 40-year old law firm.

In August of this year, the firm received Texas Lawyer’s prestigious “Best Immigration Litigation Department of the Year” award. According to the Texas Lawyer website, “we had difficult decisions to make in each category as we chose our winners, as it was a truly competitive field.” “We are honored to receive such a high honor from Texas Lawyer. It’s one thing when you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done, but it’s another when your peers recognize you,” says Lance Curtright, who along with fellow partner Jorge Aristotelidis, accepted the award on behalf of the firm.

Now in addition to state accolades, the firm has just been included in the 2014 “Best Law Firms” listing by U.S. News - Best Lawyers.  Widely recognized as a leader in immigration and nationality law, DMCA continues to set the standard for excellence in the field.  And according to the Best Lawyers website (www.bestlawfirms.usnews.com), the firm’s Houston office is the “Best Law Firm in Immigration Law” for the Greater Houston Area with a Metro Tier 2 ranking. In addition, for the third straight year, DMCA immigration attorney, Angelique Montano, has been named “Best Lawyer”.

Firms included in the 2014 “Best Law Firms” and “Best Lawyers” lists are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive rankings from clients and peers. More than 10,000 law firms in 118 practice areas were considered for this year’s recognition.And with a vast array of community involvement and goodwill efforts coupled with a solid record of achievement, the DMCA nomination included a portfolio of successfully representing clients in worksite enforcement investigations, Department of Labor and Immigration and Custom Enforcement audits, removal defense, consular processing cases, family based and employment based immigration, citizenship cases, temporary work visas, and outbound global immigration.

Achieving a tiered ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise. Ruth Lozano McChesney, managing partner for DMCA, expands, “this ranking speaks to the caliber of our DMCA team overall and to our legal team’s hard work and dedication in ensuring our clients are treated equally, fairly, and humanely and have equal access to justice, education, government resources, and economic opportunities in our country.”
