Hablo español con fluidez y tengo una larga experiencia en casos de inmigración. Además, estoy certificado en Ley de inmigración por el Consejo de Especialización Legal del Estado de Texas (Texas Board of Legal Specialization, TBLS).. Considere que sólo un porcentaje muy reducido de abogados (el diez por ciento), cuenta con esta certificación. La razón es que todo abogado certificado por el TBLS tuvo que:. -Haber contado con licencia para ejercer la profesión legal por un tiempo no menor a cinco años;. -Haber dedicado un porcentaje de tiempo a la práctica específica del Derecho de Inmigración por un periodo de al menos tres años;. -Haber llevado casos de inmigración de diversa índole para comprobar que se tiene experiencia en el campo. -Haber tomado cursos de Ley de Inmigración en seminarios de desarrollo profesional. -Haber sido evaluado por jueces y por otros abogados. -Aprobar un examen escrito de extensa duración (un día completo).. Por ello, antes de poner sus asuntos legales en manos de un abogado, pregunte si éste está certificado en Ley de Inmigración por el TBLS.
