Not good

This guy has no experience I don't know now but back in 2010 he has worsened my condition...he withdrew my I 485 then he followed me to Boston at my interview where I was picked up by ICE...I got my I 120 approved on the second attempt with a different lawyer but no more pending I 485 thanks to him......I have to redo the whole thing which is now complicating my motion to reopen, I'm not a lawyer but I don't think this made any sense..the officer at the interview asked him why he withdrew it and mr couldn't give an answer...my point is I like honest people honest lawyers that will tell you that they can't handle your case instead of taking your money and not knowing what they doing ...I wouldn't sent even my enemy to him, that's how bad he is to me....he took $1000 to withdraw my application then I pay for his trip to Boston thinking I have a strong back up just for me to get arrested...He didn't want me to go to the interview but I insisted to go. What good lawyer will tell you not to go to the interview cuz u might be picked up instead of helping you to go and not get pick up??? I approached another lawyer later on who seriously told this " listen at time law is also whom you know and where, so I suggest you get a lawyer in Boston where your case is" see I did not know that this matters at times but he was honest to me... Stay away from babalola if u have a case that needs expertise because I believe he got 0 experience.

I'm sorry that I couldn't help you about 8 years ago from being arrested and detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. How could anyone do that though? Its not my job to obstruct ICE from doing their job. Its really not fair to blame anyone for your arrest. You had it coming. You admitted in your review that I correctly predicted that ICE will pick you up if you attended that interview. You insisted however to go for the interview against legal advice which resulted in your arrest and detention. How could you in good conscience now turn around and start blaming anyone for your arrest and detention by ICE however unpleasant it may be. Its like setting yourself on fire and turning around to blame the fire department for not arriving on time to put out the fire. The rest of your story are deliberate falsehood and tissue of lies. I wish you good luck in your future endeavor.
