Stay AWAY!!

Puts on the appearance of a competent attorney, talks friendly, and acts compassionate. Once you pay him his high fee however, he commissions your case to one of his underlings who are mostly wet-behind-the-ears (inexperienced) attorneys and then you gamble your chances. If you are in removal proceed...ings DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!!!

JOB WELL DONE, THANK YOU MR MELLA!

My wife had a serious immigration issue. I was afraid I was going to lose her. Mella and his staff took care of everything. I was so relieved. They are not cheap, but they do have the expertise and got the job done!
