He takes your consultation money

After paying our consultation fee we called him to hire him. Never heard from him again I only wished I would have read this reviews before.

PLEASE RUN AWAY FROM THIS LAWYER!!!!

I WISHED I WOULD HAVE READ ALL THE REVIEWS POSTED BY OTHER CLIENTS, BUT I DIDN'T AND NOW I HAVE SPENT MORE ABOUT 18,OOO DOLLARS AND NOTHING HAVE BEEN DONE WITH MY CASE. THIS LAWYER LIED TO ME FROM THE INITIAL CONSULTATION. I TRUSTED HIM AND HE DECEIVED ME. HE TOLD ME HE WILL CHARGE THE TOTAL OF 11,5...00.00 FOR THE WHOLE CASE. I PAID THIS AMOUNT IN FULL. HE TOLD ME IN A MONTH MY NEPHEW WILL GET OUT OF THE INMIGRATION DETENTION CENTER. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR AND MY NEPHEW IS STILL DETAINED. DURING THIS YEAR HE KEPT ASKING ME MORE MONEY THAN WHAT WE AGREED. I HAVE PAID AN EXTRA 9,000 DOLLARS MORE. NOW HE WANTS ANOTHER 5,000 AND SINCE I HAVE REFUSED TO GIVE HIM MORE MONEY NOW HE DOESN'T ANSWERS MY PHONE CALLS. I TRY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO TO HIS OFFICE AND HIS STAFF WON'T GIVE ME AN APPOINTMENT UNLESS I PAID THE 5,000 FIRST. I KEEP CALLING AND THE SECRETARY KEEPS HANGING ON ME. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE CASE IS NOT SOLVED YET. HE PROMISED WAS FALSE. I FEEL STRESSED AND VERY DISSAPOINTED. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN LIED, DECEIVED AND ROBBED. PLEASE DON'T HIRED HIM OR YOU WILL REGRET IT AS MUCH AS I DO.
