Paul B. Grotas

I was absolutely desperate wham I stepped in to the office of Mr. Grotas, Esq... That day me husband had been arrested by ICE officers. Mr. Grotas give me hope, although the case was complicated, he would be able to bring it to successful conclusion. He evaluated his services $ 15 000 and asked for $... 7 000 up front. I was desperate to save my husband's life that I was prepared to not only give him all my savings, but sell all my belongings as well. Mr. Grotas saw that I was willing to go to any length and sacrifice everything to help my husband and decided to “stretch” the situation in order to get more money out of me. After one week, before completing and filing “motion to Reopen” he asked me for another $ 5 000 just to keep my husband in the same jail. He was in no rush to send “motion to Reopen”, saying that he is missing some reports, all the while asking me to give him more money. At that point I decided to take the case to another attorney where I did not have to pay $ 5 000 and yet my husband was not transferred to another jail. When Mr. Paul Grotas was asked to release all paperwork pertaining to my husband's case, he did not bother to even answer for while. Purposely trying to give me a hard time he would not present all the papers that were required. He only filed Form I-130 and charged me $ 6400 for arranging one visit in jail with my husband and 2 appointments with me. After 7 month of asking for detailed account of his services I received a bill. Needless to say, I was shocked. Mr. Grotas, unfortunately, is not the first dishonest attorney that I has come across in my life, however, he is much smarter and shiftier. I feel sorry that he uses his talent and abilities only for personal gain instead of trying to help when he can.

I had the unfortunate fate of being detained by ICE or the immigration authorities recently and while in detention consulted with a lawyer who advised me to voluntarily accept deportation and that he would get me back to the US and my family with six months. He said this because he believed that I wo...uld be detained for a year or longer. Such a suggestion of leaving the US did not sit well with me and the thought of separation from my children, in another country, seemed unbearable. As a result I immediately went looking for a new immigration attorney and found Paul Grotas. On my first meeting with Paul he put me at complete ease and reassured me that he would have me out in no time and on follow up meetings the same message was conveyed to me. This positive response that I got from Paul really put my heart, mind and soul in a peaceful state. As it tuned out he was also representing other detainees whom had a similar high regard for him and the news was that he was getting people out of jail and back to their families. My case had complications but nevertheless on the first court appearance that I had( three weeks later) he was able to skillfully get me released. I can't thank him enough nor can my family.

We hired Paul as our immigration lawyer for our brother and would not have chose anyone else. He attended every court date on time (earlier to be exact) fights every angle of a case, as well as informing the family every step of the way. He is honest about what the case is looking like but confident ...he will win which we did! Thank you Paul for bringing back our brother and if anyone is looking for a immigration layer I highly recommend Paul Grotas! Good luck ! Thank you again Paul for all your hard work.
