Lawyer with innovative solutions for immigration issues

Aditya Surti is a very innovative lawyer when it comes to immigration matters. While strictly abiding with law, he helps find solution for complex immigration matters. Aditya has been my lawyer for the past 3 years helping me with my mothers immigration issues. He spent sufficient amount of time unde...rstanding the situation, he was always a phone call away whenever I needed any support and he is prompt with his communication. Aditya does not charge hefty fees as his greater interest is in solving the case. Having said this, lawyer fees always pinch. But we felt that his fees were nominal when compared to his services and solutions One thing I really liked about him is his modesty and integrity. Very hard to find in immigration lawyers. Without going into details on my mothers case, I want point out that Aditya takes into consideration the various social complex issues that bothers FOB immigrants and works with the client for a win-win situation. While working with him on immigration issues, I also found that Aditya also practices General law helping in matters such as short sale, divorce, and other litigations. I strongly recommend Aditya Surti as lawyer for any of your needs.

Great lawyer and a humble person

I got a chance to see Mr Surti for a couple issues I had. One was a family and another one was related to immigration. At very first meeting I knew that Mr Surti is exceptionally honest. Not only that but also I found that his interest is to help his clients professionally in a way that solves the... matters easily and rapidly. No doubt he is very knowledgeable about the law practice but also an excellent ethical person. Personally, my interactions with him were very cordial yet professional and informative. He always informed and explained to me every set of situation we had during my cases. In terms of communication with his clients, he is very prompt. All of my emails or phone calls were answered personally by him. Both of my cases were resolved in a short period of time at very reasonable price. I trust him a lot and in future if I come across any legal matter, Mr Surti will be the first person for me to get advice from. I strongly recommend Mr Surti for any legal advice.

Unprofessional-

We assigned a State and Immigration Case to Mr Surti, was confident to resolve the issue in 15 days , visited my brother at the Facility and kept on doing the same promise. Even after 3 months case is still pending ,now with no option available we hired him for Bond application , was denied from its ...head by the Court. The lawyer didn't even go to the Court to fight as was done via Judge by notice, we urge him to file a rereview look at case laws , and he is suggesting us to go State Matter and resolve. This was initially already there and even knowing reality he carried on with fees with guarantee to get a hearing and none happened. Now ask for more and the audacity to block the Clients number and the office acts like a Customer care. Very POOR , UNPROFESSIONAL AND ASKS CLIENT TO RESEARCH THAN FINDING A SOLUTION.BEFOE FEES WAS ALL GREEN NOW ITS BEEN BLAMED ON THE OTHER CASE.

Thank You for your review. Although I always invite and accept constructive criticism, I have the following comments to make: I don't know of any sportsperson who has won all the games and I don't know of any lawyer who has won all the cases. In any particular case, there are situations wherein no matter how hard we try, we lose. First of all as a matter of practice, I never guarantee or promise any results in any case. The only thing I promise is my commitment, my hard work and my loyalty. The circumstances of the case dictate what factors favor you and what don't. In the case for which you have posted this review, you have to understand that your brother has been facing severe criminal charges. You acknowledge that I personally drove five hours each way to visit him in prison to take his statement. I then had a detailed discussion with the prosecutor and tried to convince him to downgrade the charges. In spite of the prosecutor's initial reluctance, finally I was able to get the charges downgraded. You then asked me to file a bond redetermination application. I first insisted that you use the services of your immigration lawyer to do this. I also suggested that you ask him to seek prosecutorial discretion for your brother. You did not do any of these. Finally with hopes that I can help you, you used my services to see if I can somehow convince the Immigration Judge to release him on bond. I filed the bond application in a timely manner and laid out the reasons of why your brother should be released. The Immigration Judge denied my request and has specifically mentioned in the Order that she is not convinced that your brother who has been facing severe criminal charges would not be a danger to the community if he is released. I understand that you are frustrated because you don't like the result but it is what it is. I am sympathetic to your and your brother's situation. If everything that I have done makes you think that I am 'unprofessional' then so be it. I have nothing else to say.

While I know the identity of the person who has posted this review, in the best interests of preserving client confidentiality I shall not disclose information that would cause any damage to the client. That being said it is important to note that when any client seeking immigration assistance has a criminal conviction, an immigration lawyer as a strategy may stay evasive in his correspondence to USCIS. Therefore rather than stating something that constitutes a client's admission of a crime, it is better to have a denial that states 'lawyer's reason mentioned is not clear'. At least the client is not getting deported because of the criminal history.

REAL ESTATE

FACTS: WE HIRED HIM TO DO PROPERTY REVIEW. HE ASKED FOR MONEY FIRST. AND HE DEPOSITED THE CHECK, WHICH IS NEVER DONE IN REAL ESTATE DEAL (ACCORDING TO MY REALTOR IN HIS 20 YEARS PRACTICE). HE NEVER RESPONDED TO OTHER LAWYER AND MISSED OUR ATTORNEY REVIEW DEADLINE. WHAEN WE ASKED OUR MONEY BACK HE ONL...Y RETURNED HALF OF IT BACK. WHILE WE TALKED TO HIM, HE ALWAYS BLAMED REALTORS FOR BEING PUSHY! MEANWHILE HE NEVER DISCUSSED ABOUT OUR CONTRACT. WHEN WE CALLED FOR HIM HE IS IN BALTIMORE, I AM IN COURT ETC ALL EXCUSES..

At Law Offices of Aditya Surti, we take careful measures to ensure that every case is managed and communicated with the highest of standards. In addition, our team approach to handling cases benefits our clients by providing them with the attentiveness and responsiveness necessary in the areas of law that we practice. While we know the identity of the person who posted this review, it is not our intention to disparage him in any way, despite his inaccuracies and misrepresentations. In all cases, we properly make our clients sign a retainer agreement which very clearly states all the terms and conditions. It is for this reason, that we issued a refund for the work not done. Had it been our intention to gain a monetary benefit improperly, we wouldn't have even issued a refund in the first place. It is unfortunate that the client posting this review relies on what a realtor says and not his lawyer. Not only that but what is more unfortunate is that he posts a remark on an issue of law without even knowing the law. For example, in a real estate transaction, when an attorney review begins, until it is expressly deemed concluded, a deadline cannot be missed. As in every situation, there are two sides to every story. While we are receptive to constructive remarks, we respectfully disagree with the complaints made in this review. Our firm goes above and beyond for every client. We value our clients and work diligently to please them in every way possible. We wish this individual all the best in his future real estate legal issues and advise him to rely on a lawyer's advise for his legal needs and not on the advise of a realtor.
