Took $6,000 and Failed to Handle My Case

I hired Steven as my lawyer after he assured me that he would take care of my case within six months. Based on those promises, I paid him a total of $6,000. Unfortunately, after taking my money, he failed to make any real progress on my case. Months went by with little to no work done, and I was repe...atedly given excuses and misleading information instead of honest updates. Despite not fulfilling his promises or providing the legal services I paid for, he continued to ask me for more money. This caused unnecessary stress, financial loss, and frustration. I trusted him to represent me professionally, and he completely failed to do so. This was a very disappointing experience, and I regret hiring him. Based on my experience, I strongly advise others to think carefully before hiring this lawyer do not hire this lawyer

Tremendous Problem Solver / Complex Immigration Issue

We are so fortunate we found Mark Stevens, as he helped us solve an incredibly complex immigration issue on behalf of an applicant who had voluntarily left the U.S., yet then became barred from re-entry. We interviewed countless firms and lawyers, and had already hired two others, when we thankfully... were referred to Mark. He was strategic and tactical - a rare, powerful and required combination. He is a subject matter expert. Yet, as important, he was compassionate given the extremely serious personal issues involved in this case. I am thrilled to report that Mark won our case - and our applicant has re-entered the U.S. and resumed her application for U.S. citizenship. Mark is a tremendous lawyer and person - I am honored and blessed that we had a chance to work together.

The best experience and outcome!

I was looking for an immigration lawyer and I came across Mark Stevens. The first time I met Mark, I just had a feeling that I was in very good hands. He is calm and has a good sense of humor, which is very important when you are in a stressful situation. Today I am a free man to become a citizen. Ma...rk worked in a very professional manner and thought of anything possible to close any door for the prosecutors. He is always on top of the case and keeps your informed at all times. I cannot thank him enough for all he has done. The firm that he works is a great growing place. Everyone is friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone that’s in need of help!

I-130 Appeal (for my Wife)

We came to Mr. Steven's to request help to appeal an I-130 intent to revoke. Prior to hiring Mr. Stevens we responded to the first inquiry on our own, however, we failed to provide a suitable response for USICS. Mr. Stevens and his colleagues helped design a plan to include what supporting document...ation would be needed to satisfy the situation. After we collected the information and provided to Mr. Stevens, he prepared a well thought out and well written appeal brief that was sure to succeed. The outcome was an approved I-130 with our burden of proof met. My wife and I are grateful and happy with our decision to trust Mr. Stevens with our case

Highly recommend Stevens

Knowledgable and personable. His explanations were clear and detailed. It was easy to reach him, and he always responded to emails or voicemails promptly. I also liked that he listened to me and took the time to really understand my family's needs. Our case was resolved successfully. I would certainl...y hire and work with him again.
