No le importa la gente

Le pague $150 dolares por una entrevista por telefono de 5 minutos, me dijo que le enviara unos documentos por correo para saber si me podia ayudarme con mi caso y nunca respondio mis correos y llamé 3 veces a su oficina y el personal solo decia que le darian mi mensaje y que me llamarian. Ellos nunc...a me llamaron y yo bote mis $150 dólares a la basura.

Definitely would not recommend

Has minions working for him who know nothing. Ive gotten incorrect updates, incorrect information and they act like your just another number. Regis is very knowledgeable just doesn't seem to give a no one cares. As my life goes to hell because I do not have papers and I live in a world of limitations..., when I call no one seems to give a damn. There are millions of jobs in this world, why do this if you don't have a heart? Would NOT recommend.

Don't waste your money with this lawyer

I hired this lawyer about 6 years ago and still waiting on my residency. At this point he and his staff are just completely dodging me and not keeping me informed on anything that's happening with my case. He was helpful in the beginning that's why my overall rating is fair but now he's not doing any...thing with my case. Maybe he was aggressive with other clients but in my case I've been waiting 6 YEARS!! and still nothing. Very Disappointed!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
