No results after many months.

I paid my retainer in May 2023. Then for months when I tried to call the office there was no answer and no work was done on my case. They finally got back to me in October, when my bank got involved and attempted to take back the retainer on my credit card. At that time, my case was assigned to a cle...rk who was polite, but did not really understand what needed to be done. Almost 10 months later in February 2024, my family has decided enough is enough and we will seek help elsewhere. I would not recommend this firm at all.

THE BEST THERE IS

Ms Clarke and her team changed my life. They were knowledgeable, professional, personable, always honest and , most of all, responsive. From the very beginning I felt that I was in the hands of professionals and was tremendously impressed with the attention to detail and level of preparation Ms Clar...ke required not only of me, but of her team. She was determined that no stone be left unturned in my case. It meant a great deal of work on my part to provide all that was required, but it ensured a smooth process that surprised even her with the speed with which it was all adjudicated successfully. There was never, ever ,an unreturned phone call or delayed response to a query. They understand that changing one's status is a nerve wracking experience and they do everything they can to make the client feel informed and supported. In that office, the team unites to push for client success and, in my case, when that success was achieved, they celebrated as though they were family. And , in a sense they were. Absolutely recommend them as the best there is.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"“Millicent Clarke is an exceptional immigration attorney. She is the most determined, optimistic finest attorney I have met in my thirty-five (35) years of practice. I have witnessed first-hand Ms. Clarke practicing immigration law at an atmospheric level of competency, commanding respect and admiration from peers and foes alike. Her forty-plus years of advocacy and due diligence has time and time again resulted in great success and good news for those s whose lives hang in the balance of doom, gloom, removal, and despair. Ms. Clarke will “pay any price, bear any burden, oppose any foe” to achieve victory for her clients. She represents a shining example of what immigration advocacy is supposed to be about. Ms. Clarke never accepts the premise that there are no solutions to a problem. She always finds a way to win against the odds. I would liken Ms. Clarke to a talented math teacher, she truly understands there are many ways to solve and approach a problem."
