The Client's Attorney

I started out in ICE Detention in York facing statistically certain deportation, now I am about to receive my green card. What happened in between; John Hykel. My case was an asylum case, historically very difficult to win once in removal proceedings. Mr. Hykel's strength or ample experience lay in m...ostly adjustment of status cases, at least I think so. I felt like we made up it up as we went along, he did his homework and my case got stronger, and stronger until at a certain point, we got a dismissal offer (from removal proceedings) from the Govt; we turned it down. I watched enough TV shows to know that I made a terrible witness on my individual hearing; perhaps that itself bolstered my credibility. Amidst all this, I won, without an appeal. Go figure.... Some research online shows that his license was once suspended, if accurate I think that is proof of just how loyal he is as a client advocate. If you ever desire an attorney who has trust in spades, call John Hykel. In this nutty paradigm of ICE's omnipotence and Immigration attorneys often lackadaisical attitude in client defense, I absolutely recommend Mr. Hykel. Just pay your bill.
