He did not do what he promised!!!

Not only did he deceived the system, he lied and filed thing without authorization. Even if you receive your work permit or green card because your case has not base it will be denied by immigration that could potentially lead to being deported because now Immigration knows about you! Aunque te a...prueben el permiso de trabajo, o tu green card como el hizo el caso basándose en VAWA y quita la petición hace que todo el caso no sea válido. En ese momento te niegan la green card o te pueden negar la ciudadanía! Y ahora inmigración tiene toda tu información. No sigan con el es un fraude no le den su dinero a nadie de esa oficina ! Sólo están dando su dinero para que los expongan

FRAUDULENT !!!

If I can give him 0 stars I would. I have a family member who was filing a case to become a full on American Citizen. When she finally obtained her Work Travel Authorization Card, he told her to go to her home country and to come back with her card. She followed as he said, and they immediately held ...her in deportation. She’s now waiting on her court date to hear the decision on wether or not she will be deported. Immigration validated that all paperwork and work visa, travel visa was all fraudulent. On top of that Kofi states that her children are abusive towards her, which is a lie completely. He only cares about your money. Disgusting piece of human being, is what he is.

Fraude

Este abogado es un fenómeno a mi madre le cobró 7 mil dólares. Haciendo promesas y asegurando que su caso seguía apoyado con la evidencia presentada . Cuando fue a la entrevista de inmigración el oficial le dijo que el abogado la había engañado y que todo lo que él había hecho no tenía ninguna base ...legal absoluta. Un hijo no puede pedir aún padre de la nada así por que si . No acudan a este abogado. Aseguren su dinero.

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.
