Worst experience ever. The lawyer Suneeta assigned to my case left their office and they kept me on hold without knowing exactly what to do until I found another lawyer - no need to say that they never reimbursed me the fee that I paid and didn’t show any intention to do so -. Once, when I asked Sune...
Dear Antonio, We are very sorry and surprised to read your review. Your last email to us well over a year ago thanked us for our kind words and support. You did not once communicate any dissatisfaction to us, and as such we were not given an opportunity to address any grievances you did have. We were always available to speak with you, as I’m sure you can attest, given the quick responses you received to your frequent emails. We would like to state that our hesitations were not due to any uncertainty with the law, but were instead because of certain facts specific to your case. Further, the fees you paid to us were for an application that we completed and filed. It did not include the subsequent services you required, which we consulted you on for no additional charge. We wish you had brought your concerns and dissatisfaction to us directly so that we could have resolved them. Should you care to do so, we would be happy to meet and speak with you about this further.
