Dorothy Maxine Burton

I'm going to to be as fair as possible because I’m not in the business of ruining anyone’s livelihood. My mum and I have dealt with lawyers who exploited immigrants, and some were even worse than Dorothy. That’s how we ended up working with her. In 2020, my mum explained how her previous lawyer had m...ishandled her case, and Dorothy agreed to help. She did file the necessary waiver and employment authorization, so I’ll give her credit for that. But after that—silence. No follow-up, no guidance. We waited for three years. Finally, we requested copies of our documents and discovered that the waiver Dorothy filed had been approved back in 2020, and immigration had sent the documents to her office. When we tried to follow up, Dorothy didn’t even remember what forms she had filed. When I questioned why she hadn’t followed up on the forms, instead of taking responsibility for her office’s mistake, she yelled at me over the phone and wouldn’t let me speak. She then threatened to make us pay before any further meetings, even though we were simply asking about documents we had already paid her to file. I was not seeking advice, I wanted an accurate timeline of what she had done and if they were other approval letters her office obviously missed so my mum’s new lawyer could pick up the case properly. I’m not saying you shouldn’t hire her, but if you do, make sure to stay on top of your case and take proactive steps to follow up with immigration yourself.

Lawyer was never able to get to on her phone..Did nothing but make errors on my documents.She collected my money and sent me to do all the work and then wanted to pull from my case because she gave me a week to find a large sum to pay her...Sje sends you to her friends so she get compensated..She is ...too money hungry

I have dealt with several lawyers before seeing miss Atchison and was amaze at the passion that she had shown to me in dealing with my case. I had also recommended a few people to her and they too were please with her help. She was kind, warm and very easy to work with. Dealing with her was like ...dealing with a friend. I would have absolutely no problem referring her to anyone. forget these radio lawyers they have nothing on this woman. She is the best in what she does believe me I am a true testament to the work she can do.
