Terrible service

I hired this law firm to file my O1 petition, as they came recommended by my friend. This is a terrible firm. I never spoke to Samuel Christensen. I was working with Amanda Gillespie and Alondra Gomera for my petition, who I don't think are real lawyers. Not once have I spoken to Samuel Christensen. ...They prepared some very important parts of my petition without even consulting me. For instance they "submitted an itinerary" on my behalf without acually asking me what I would be doing. After reading the petition they filed for me it looked as if some high school kid wrote it with a ton of grammatical errors and completely wrong information. They didn't even bother to fact check the information put. As a result, I got an RFE for some really basic things. After I received the RFE and read through it, I prepared everything that was needed to submit in 10 days and submitted to Amanda. Till one before my last day she kept putting it off saying she had "other clients" to take care of and she would get to my RFE when she had time, I was living in borrowed time and she did not understand that I was already on my grace period and the urgency. Eventually I fired her. Amanda never responds to emails. There were times when I sent emails on consecutive days but never even received a reply. There was a time she replied to me after 2 weeks. They never answer their phone. I paid almost $6000 and it all went down the drain. I fired her and asked her to withdraw my petition and hired another lawyer and got approved in 10 days! I will never recommend this lawyer. Even the google reviews of this law firm have the same opinions as me.
