FRUADE !!!

Stay away from this lawyer!!! He filed my parents under I-360, claiming I was abusing my parents. This never happened, and he never consulted this with them. Families who fell victim to his mispractice have spoken about their experience in NBC. Kofi hace fraude, tengan mucho cuidado !!!

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.

If you had the same issue with this lawyer please contact me

Hello My name is Kevin. My parents tried filling for their residence since we heard good things about this lawyer. We went his office , it was a mess. We were misled. He said l my parents getting their papers . He filed a petition for violence claiming children abuse of parents. We didn’t even know ...he filed this type of petition and it wasn’t what the paralegal told us. If you were a client of his who experienced the same thing, please contact us [email protected] Or @[email protected] Hola mi nombre es Kevin. Mis padres intentaron llenar su residencia ya que escuchamos cosas buenas sobre este abogado. Fuimos a su oficina, era un desastre. Nos engañaron. Dijo que mis padres sacaban sus papeles. Presentó una petición por violencia alegando abuso infantil de los padres. Ni siquiera sabíamos que presentó este tipo de petición y no fue lo que nos dijo el asistente legal. Si usted fue un cliente suyo que experimentó lo mismo, contáctenos [email protected] O @[email protected]

Do not come here unless you wanna have all your calls denied

This guy takes on way too many cases than he can handle. My mom opened up a case with him spent almost 2 thousand dollars just for her case to get denied because they received a paper for her to do the next step, and nobody told her nothing. We called for weeks then finally came in to find the paper ...in a huge pile on the desk. Never called us to let us know or keep us updated. Waste of money.
