Don’t waste your time!

My experience with Hykel Law was extremely disappointing. I waited three weeks for an appointment and was charged a $300 upfront fee, much higher than most other attorneys. Despite this, I never received any confirmation or reminder. On the day of my appointment, I drove two hours from another sta...te to the address listed on Google Maps, only to be told the office had moved 30 minutes away. Even though I arrived on time, I was informed the attorney was too busy and that my only options were either a refund or another appointment 10 days later. This reflects a serious lack of organization, communication, and respect for clients’ time and money. If a law office cannot give clients proper attention due to being overbooked, they should make this clear before taking appointments and payments. Don’t waste your time. Immigration cases already take long enough don’t lose even more time because of this firm!

I'm sorry you had a bad experience and that you relied on our address listed on Google. We did recently move and despite attempts to get the address corrected, it remains unclear on Google. You were given a full refund of your consultation fee the day you missed the appointment. I would have loved to meet you, but you were too far away to make it before I had other appointments. I trust you found other counsel to advise you on your matter. Sorry again and I wish you the best.

Excellent and Professional Immigration Lawyer

I used Renee's services for my marriage-based permanent residency case, and I couldn't be happier with how everything went. Right from the start, she was super straightforward and confident, which really helped calm my nerves. Renee is cool, professional, and totally knows her stuff. She's got thi...s amazing ability to predict how things will turn out, which makes her a real shark in her field. I highly recommend Renee to anyone who needs a smart and professional immigration lawyer. She not only gets the job done but also gives you the reassurance you need during such a stressful time.

Immigration Case

Hykel Law is the best law firm ever! The first time I met Renee; I felt so at peace and knew I was at the right place. She is someone you can confine in. My former lawyer wasn't helpful and my immigration case was pending for 7 years. I was also let down by a well known lawyer that couldn't handle my... case but Renee gave me hope. She is very experienced and informed on immigration policy. Renee and Maria handled my case with professionalism and effectiveness. In less than 30 days I got called in for an interview. My immigration application was approved in less than four months after waiting for seven years.This wouldn't have been made possible with Renee and Maria efforts. Wish I could give 10 stars. If you are need of help with any immigration case; Hykel Law is the best place to be.Thank you Renee and Maria. I'm forever grateful.

Renee H. C. Law firm-The best EVER!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you!! What you do to help us immigrants is unspoken off!! My wife and I have nothing but the best for you and you firm!! My case was difficult... to me. That one phone call to your office changed our lives for ever. You paid attention to what I had to say about my case and ...your response was what I had from other attorneys over the years, only not. With lost documents, you were able to prove I came to the United States legally, and that right there I knew you were who I was going with. You guided my wife and I through the process, the hurdles, the stress. Two months since I received my green card, my wife and I have still not come to believe what your firm accomplished for us. Renee, Kylee and Maria who sent out my GC, we are forever greatful... If you want good representation and want the best, Renee and her team will do it. They did it for me, my family and we are truly humbled!! Be blessed and stay blessed Hykel team. You are truly the best!!

Best Immigration Lawyer in the world.

Today is such an amazing day and I owe it all to my amazing lawyer and her entire team, Renee Hykel Cuddy. After many let’s down from other lawyers handling my case since 2001. My cousin referred me to Renee’s law firm in 2017, and she went right to work. Within a few months, I was able to get tempor...ary status, fast forward applying for permanent residence. It wasn’t it easy, because the immigration laws were changing and so it was going back to the drawing board so to speak. But Renee and her team, Kylee kept me updated and encouraged me to hang in there. I could see that they truly cared about me, and not just a client with a number. Today I am a permanent residence and it would not have been possible if Renee did not work hard to make it happen. I am truly grateful to her and I hope whoever is reading this review, looking for a immigration lawyer who will fight for you. Look no further, call Renee Hykel Cuddy.
