I hired Gehi & Associates to sponsor my parents as they have a complicated US immigration history. At the initial consult, the consulting attorney assured me it was possible to sponsor them and that the work would begin immediately after I paid the first deposit and signed the retainer agreement, whi...le I agreed to pay monthly installments until the entire retainer was paid up. Over the next 3 months, they had numerous delays, prepared the wrong forms, and used offshore, unqualified resources to deliver legal advice. After 3 months, I decided to stop making any further until at least the initial application was filed. At that point, they said I was being unreasonable and uncooperative and terminated the attorney-client relationship, and refused to refund my fees even though I gained nothing by hiring them. Luckily I have a close friend who is a lawyer and he will be guiding me on how to get my retainer back through the court system as it is clear I did not receive any benefit from engaging them with a fixed fee agreement. I will say the attorney's definitely sounded like they knew what they were doing, but I expect they just did not have the capacity to meet the commitments they made. 3 months to file the petition is ridiculous as most lawyers get it done in a couple of weeks as they initially agreed.

I wish I could give them negative stars!!! Extremely horrible and unprofessional bunch of people. We paid them from our immigration case and for 1 month no one contacted us even for our documents!!! when we reached out to them....no one had any clue about the case. Upon requesting a refund, there was... no response for months and finally they came back saying they will only give us back less than 50%. funny thing is when asked why they were deducting 5-60% the and proof of any work they did...all the office manager could tell us was 1 paralegal made 1 phone call to find out what the procedure was with NVC (I don't belive they did that either). so 1 paralegal phone call cost me about $1800. I thought you pay lawyers because you think they know the procedures of law!!! I am filing a complaint with BBB, NY BAR, and consumer protection court.

i went there to get my U visa through sexual assault at work/ police approved me/ but i got denied my visa because this lower never told me to get a medical record or actually to go to doctor although it was a core of the U visa/ thats the main reason why i was denied. waste of money and a good case ...was wasted for nothing.
