Alfonso Caprara

My family hired Alfonso in February of 2017 to take care of my parents immigration case. After leaving the case in his hands, I notice a significant time had passed by without any word from him or his office. Every time I would call the office, he was never available to talk to me. Once I finally was... able to meet with him in November of 2020, he admitted to completely forgetting about my parents case. He offered a refund, but it's July 2022 and we have not received a refund or heard from him personally yet. I have not been able to get in contact with Alfonso through calls or emails. My parents are completely heartbroken and given up on their dreams of getting their citizenship.

In Oct 28, 2021, I have my first appointment with Mr. Caprara related to immigration proceedings. The interview went Amazing, he told me, I quote "You have yourself a Lawyer" end quote. He made me feel so well that all my worries about my case dropped instantly. (I was charged $100) The follow up wa...s a second interview that he said it will be done by phone (he will call me) (Great) Also since I didn't have my date in court yet, he told me to contact him by email in the case I receive something. I was promised that they will respond quickly. A few days later I received the letter from the court with the date we should present the case which is January 4th, 2022. I emailed him several times and none of my emails were answered. I called several times and the representatives he has answering the phone (I think they are interns) couldn't get me in touch with Mr. Caprara and no directions to follow whatsoever. Well, I thought "no problem" I have a second appointment (by phone) with him so that day I will tell him. The day of the second appointment arrived and I didn't receive the promised phone call nor emails so I called several times with no success, the only solution I got from the person I spoke with was to get me a second appointment with another Lawyer (Another $100) within the same office for Dec 14 two weeks before appearing in court and with absolutely no guarantee he will take my case. At this moment I realized that while I was waiting in his office on my first interview there were several customers calling desperately seeking Mr. Caprara and the personnel responding the phone calls were telling them exactly what they are now telling me. I quote "Mr. Caprara is attending other customers, he is not available at this moment. I will pass your message to him" end quote. I'm wondering how many customers that went through the first interview and paid $100 never got to the second interview like me. This is just not acceptable. I also would like to clarify that this review is not to question Mr. Caprara professional career, knowledge and years of expertise that for sure he has under his belt but to share the pain that some of his customers are going through due to the fact that he doesn't have the capacity to represent all of the customers that he promised he will represent but just a portion of them. This has been a waste of my short time that I could hire a Lawyer that would not just promise but get the job to completion.

Our family had been to other lawyers before meeting Mr. Caprara and right away we knew our experience would be different. Right away he took interest in not only the our case, but also in our family. Our one case was able to be resolved in less than 6 months, and the other, due to COVID, took about 3... years, almost a year and half after what we expected but was then also resolved. Mr. Caprara and his team made sure to always check in on his clients, and provide step by step instructions on how to fill out paperwork. When the time came to attend the immigration interviews, Mr. Caprara helped prep his client on what to expected and helped them feel confident and prepared. Our favorite saying from Mr. Caprara is that he wants to help his clients get in a better situation than what they started with. We are forever grateful for all the time and effort that was put in by him and his team on helping our family.

I am so fortunate to have had Mr. Caprara as my attorney over 20 years. I came to this country to study in the 1990s. After graduating from college, I was ready to start my career as a music teacher/musician. However, my H-1B petition was denied. I called every immigration law office in Philadelp...hia listed in the Yellow Pages and he is the only attorney who returned my call, took my case seriously and offered help. In a few weeks my case was approved and ever since, he has successfully worked on numerous cases on my behalf. Without his help, there was no chance for me to stay and work in this country for such a long time. He is simply the best immigration lawyer and most trustworthy person l know. His hard work and dedication are greatly appreciated. I am also grateful for his expertise and knowledge. Mr. Caprara has my highest recommendation.
