He plead guilty

On a daily basis I saw many of Kofi's victims come through the airport and I'd ALWAYS give them advice to drop him ASAP. The ones that got caught with denied I-130's, I am sorry. Please spread the word about him to all of your friends and family who might be clients of his or his colleague, Sylveste...r Boateng, as they are both into this similar scheme. The following link is the good news of his guilty plea AND it has a link to possibly and hopefully get your money back via his restitution payment. Good luck all https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/bronx-former-attorney-pleads-guilty-large-scale-immigration-fraud

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

Better Call Saul

This guy is Jimmy pro-max in the TV series, Better Call Saul. Don't use him. Consulting him alone is a waste of time, as all he does is lie and make promises he won't fulfill.

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 !!!
