Posted by SETH | February 27, 2019 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr.

USCIS sent me an intent to revoke on i-130 petition of which I hired Arthur wemegah who rebutted within the 30 days USCIS ultimatum. Gladly, USCIS finally reaffirmed the case. Lawyer Wemegah's promptness, honesty and friendly lawyer-client relationship is just highly commendable. Highly recomme...ndable.

Loan Modification

Arthur Wemegah did a loan modification for us. He was informative, thorough, and very knowledgeable in the area. Within 6 months we had a completed modification on our mortgage. I would highly recommend Mr. Wemegah to any potential clients looking for a loan modification.

So grateful for Mr. Wemegah's assistance

Mr. Wemegah handled my bankruptcy case this past year. I am so grateful for his professionalism, knowledge and diligence during what was a very trying time in my life. He always got back to me in a timely manner and was more than willing to help me to understand the legal process. Having a lawyer ...that you feel comfortable with and can trust to do a good job is so important and I am truly thankful that I found him.

Divorce Attorney

Mr. Wemegah handled my recent divorce. Not only was he always professional, he was great at obtaining me a very fair settlement. I would not hesitate to recommend him. He was able to answer any and all questions that arouse through out the process.

Fast and Results!

The firm handled my bankruptcy case. Not only did they get the case done in 90 days as promised but they were 100% understanding throughout the process, stopped a judgment and got me back garnished funds. This firm is top notch, I highly recommend them for any case but especially debt related and b...ankruptcy matters.

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.
