A messy and dishonest lawyer?

Is this individual an attorney? He has an old fashion method. No assistants, No receptionists, only an elderly man taking messages and making appointment in a notebook. He takes forever to find you if you have an appointment. The office looks like a storage room. Applications are not submitted on t...ime. the phone is never answered. You take a whole day to be assisted. A day before you are called to do your finger prints? He makes up a case without telling you about what? He made a case of sibling abusing his parents how come? He forgot to send all paper work required. Case was denied. He only takes cash. He charged 6,000 without providing what he promised. There is not case at all. He said that he needed to reapply again. He should return the money then. Do you know how long takes to save that kind of money? He promised green card to everyone and many of those the only document they get is a work permit. Most of my family have a case still pending.

Horrible. Avoid.

Takes money and does nothing. He never shows up to court and puts his clients at risk of deportation.

Hit or miss

I’m 50/50 with this lawyer, he helped my parents with travel and work visa, and ssn. I feel like he takes too many cases to handle bc he literally forgot to send in one of my parents application. For days I had to come in and nag him to find it. The glasses guy at the front never answers the phone. A...fter a few days of coming in person he magically found it somewhere in his office. he needs to stop taking new clients and focus on the ones who already paid him thousands to send their paperwork on time. Now I’m hearing people are coming in saying they’re getting government notices telling them to leave the country in 30 days. Don’t know what’s going on. Traducción. Estoy 50/50 con este abogado, ayudó a mis padres con la visa de viaje y trabajo, y el ssn. Siento que toma demasiados casos para manejar porque literalmente se olvidó de enviar la solicitud de uno de mis padres. Durante días tuve que entrar y regañarlo para que lo encontrara. El chico de las gafas en el frente nunca contesta el teléfono. Después de unos días de venir en persona, mágicamente lo encontró en algún lugar de su oficina. necesita dejar de tomar nuevos clientes y enfocarse en los que ya le pagaron miles para enviar sus papeles a tiempo. Ahora escucho que la gente viene diciendo que están recibiendo avisos del gobierno diciéndoles que abandonen el país en 30 días. No sé lo que está pasando.
