I truly don't know where to begin. I am eternally grateful to attorney Carolina Teresa Curbelo and her entire team. My husband was detained by ICE on Friday, August 7th. This happened at 7:27 am. I received a message from my husband saying, "They caught me. Immigration caught me." He was on his way to work. At that moment, I was in shock. I had no idea what to do. I was stunned for a moment. I started looking for lawyers. People close to me recommended lawyers, but some didn't answer, and others, those who did, honestly, asked for a lot of money, which makes you think twice because there are so many scams going on right now. I was desperate, calling so many numbers, but I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere, and time was passing. I called the Mexican consulate to see if they could help me, and they gave me a list of lawyers, one of whom was a lawyer named Carolina. Then, a friend of my husband called me at 8:50 pm to give me Carolina's office number. He told me that another guy had told him that Carolina had gotten his cousin out quickly. Another woman also recommended her, and out of fear, I posted in a group asking if anyone else recommended her. They also told me she was very good. Based on that information, I decided to call the office at 8:52 pm on Friday. Obviously, the office was already closed, but I decided to leave a voicemail briefly explaining the reason for my call. At 9:44 pm, I received a call from Carolina T. Curbelo, who called me back, which I am so grateful for, as she was the only one who gave me hope. We moved quickly without asking for money at that moment, unlike most lawyers. The call lasted almost 30 minutes. I explained in detail, more or less, how the events unfolded. My husband hadn't yet appeared in the detention system, as that takes 24 to 48 hours, but when he called me for three minutes, he told me he was going to be transferred to the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ. So I gave the lawyer all that information. She asked me to be patient, that she was going to look into some things, and that her assistant, Santiago, would contact me on Saturday to tell me what to do next. The next day, her assistant did contact me, and that's when I decided she would represent my husband. The hours passed, and I still hadn't heard anything about my husband. The lawyer sent me a brief email saying she would do everything possible to get my husband upstairs that same Saturday night, which she did. My husband called me around 11:50 pm and told me he had been brought upstairs. He gave me his unit number and his A number, which I already had. I told my husband to be patient, that the lawyer was already working on it, and not to sign anything. The next day, Sunday, around 11:28 am, my husband was released, thank God and thanks to lawyer Carolina Teresa Curbelo. We will be eternally grateful to her and her team. She acted so quickly that many people don't believe this really happened. If I could give her more stars, I would. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much for everything. Kindness, professionalism, communication. 10 out of 10. May God bless her for everything she is doing for the Latino community.

I cannot say enough about Carolina Curbelo and her extraordinary dedication to justice.

I was connected to Carolina through Susan Roy at Seton Hall Law School's Detention and Deportation Defense Initiative. Susan responded to my urgent request with incredible speed and kindness, and immediately knew Carolina was the right person for the job. That connection changed everything.

From the moment Carolina took the case, she moved with a level of speed, professionalism, and dedication that I have never seen before. Within hours she had reviewed everything, filed a complete emergency habeas corpus petition in federal court, and secured a signed emergency court order from a Chief Federal Judge — all in the same day, or to be honest, in a few hours.

Carolina is not just a brilliant and highly experienced immigration attorney — she is someone who truly cares. She fought with everything she had, went all the way to the top, and delivered results that most people would say were impossible in such a short time.

If you or someone you love is facing an immigration emergency, do not waste a single minute. Call Carolina Curbelo. She is the best there is.

God bless her and everyone at Curbelo Law. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
