Discontinue Going Here ASAP

Hi everyone, the way these so called lawyers are working are fraudulent and scary!! Scary because they have no remorse. Please discontinue going here. My mother was a victim of these lies and now my family is suffering. Its economically and mentally draining! Historically immigrants have been an immi...grant population that are vunerable and marginalized. Lets stop this together but we have to speak up and make our vecinos, padrinos, tios,tias, cousins, all NYC aware of whats going on!!!! All victims deserve their hard earned money back and ours names to be cleared of all this!!! Act now before its too late ⏰

Falsifies Information! PLEASE check your paperwork!

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/immigrant-family-claims-misleading-attorney-led-to-deportation/4260713/ After seeing this on the NEWS, I had so much doubt about this lawyer. I can't even begin to explain the anger I felt. I was told the exact same thing that was told to the son. When I asked him ...about the information submitted, he told me not to worry about it. I was able to get the forms he filled after seeing it on a request for my parents to get fingerprints. Apparently he filed an I-360 without my knowledge or consent. I feel deceived. I am currently trying to find another lawyer who will take this case. One attorney's office I contacted told me I was one of 10 people that called his office with the SAME problem. They are unable to provide me information due to an ongoing investigation with Kofi. I am beyond disgusted.

Fraudulent activity, No ethics, this attorney needs to be investigated

This attorney is fraudulent on all types of level. He has no ethics at all and is taking money from families who have worked extremely hard for what they have. Kofi Owusu and his associates lie on all forms and applications. He claimed I had domestic violence with my mother and submitted them to US...CIS. During the interview my mother was straight forward that no domestic violence of any type occurred, however that landed her in getting her case denied and now she is facing possible deportation. Please if you’re reading this review do not have this attorney or his associates represent you. You can contact me at [email protected] so we can ban together and stop this situation from occurring to other families who are at risk of deportation. Este abogado es fraudulento en todo tipo de nivel. No tiene ética en absoluto y está aceptando dinero de familias que han trabajado muy duro por lo que tienen. Kofi Owusu y sus asociados mienten en todos los formularios y solicitudes. Afirmó que tuve violencia doméstica con mi madre y los envió a USCIS. Durante la entrevista, mi madre fue directa en que no ocurrió ningún tipo de violencia doméstica, sin embargo, eso la llevó a que le negaran su caso y ahora enfrenta una posible deportación. Por favor, si está leyendo esta revisión, no haga que este abogado o sus asociados lo representen. Puede contactarme en [email protected] para que podamos prohibir juntos y evitar que esta situación le ocurra a otras familias que están en riesgo de deportación.
