Saher Macarius

I am a person who doesn't write review for products or services in general. I don't write any review at all for things that I buy online, let alone a negative review. When it comes to businesses, I am even more careful, because they work hard to gain business and it just doesn't feel right to chop th...eir chances of getting business. But for Saher Macarius I have to leave a review to help prevent others from being screwed. I am writing this review 6 years after the case took place because the case matter was too close to my heart and I did not want to write a biased review mixed with emotions. My family members were in removal proceedings. Saher Macarius said that he could handle this case and win it with ease. He assigned a person from his office to work closely with us. Throughout the preparation of the case I wrote all the materials. How would an immigrant family work with Saher Macarius' office if they did not speak English or were not literate enough? During the court hearing, Saher Macarius was pretty clueless about the case. He did not know some of the key facts or knew them inaccurately. What happened after the hearing was the most shocking part. Judge ordered the family to be removed (deported), Saher Macarius decided that we are going to appeal the case. We said "no, we are not planning to appeal and live in uncertainty for years". It meant loss of income for him. Of course, he was going to charge another several thousand dollars to do the appeal. When he knew that we are not going to do it and instead the family is going to leave the country he refused to talk to us further. The next morning we went to his office to see what's going on, how many years bar we have etc. he asked us to pay a consultation fee to see him! Imagine this, the family just lost a case and is being deported. We all are in shock, and Saher Macarius wants to make another few hundred dollars to see us one last time to basically wrap up the facts. Saher Macarius is a very unethical and incompetent lawyer. I am giving him 1 star because 0 star option doesn't exist.
