Posted by YUAN | December 09, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Very Professional Immigration Lawyer

I came to the U.S. in 2007. I have ever hired 2 attorneys before hiring Mr. Costo for my immigration Application. Mr. Costo fully represented me before the Immigration Court. He carefully prepared my application. It is surprised me that my court submission and evidence is over 1000 pages. My case w...as finally granted in last week. I am highly appreciated for Mr. Costo's kindly help. I am finally have legal residence status in the U.S.

Crooked Attorney

I was his client when I showed him my Will that had been drawn up by a different attorney. James asked to see it. I handed it to him. He unstapled it and xeroxed it. He said it was for his files. But unstapling a Will invalidates it. He did it so that I would pay him to write a new Will for me.... He did not finish my case because he kept disappearing and not answering calls or emails. Read the Yelp reviews.

This "review" contains false information. Firstly, In the past ten years, at least, I have not had any clients come to me with an old will. Secondly, if I am preparing a new will for a client, it would replace the old will.

Mr. Costo is a CROOK. I too was taken advantage of by him. We won the case and he ran off with the money. I suggest we start a Class Action Law suit because the case are seen before the court of Law

I have no idea who this "client" is. Whether a personal injury case, or a business litigation settlement, the clients always get their money.

The law practice did briefly rent a space in White Plains. This particular person made a purchase in cash from someone who she did not know, did not obtain any identification and had no contact information. The lawsuit was filed, but the individual sued could not be located. The only fee charged was the filing fees.
