Best immigration lawyer ever.

I’ve been Abdoul’s client for the last five year. I came to his office after being detained in the airport for seeking asylum. I just looked for a lawyer in MD and he was the the one that pops up in my screen with good reviews so , I put all my hopes and hired him. He has such a cool vibe and explain...s all the questions you have and boy, I did have a bunch of questions all the time. He was always understanding, answering my emails even Sunday’s. If you are his client he will take care of you. My case evolved in a successful family petition and I witnessed his professionalism, knowledge of the immigrations law and commitment with the immigrants community.

Exceptional lawyer and law firm

I had gone to the Konare Law firm after I had gotten an intent to deny letter. It was an initially botched application and I thought all hope was lost. This law firm was diligent, knowledgeably and very professional. They knew what they were doing. They got to the heart of the matter They made sure e...very i was dotted and every t crossed as they kept me abreast of every step they took, before my reply was submitted. At the end of the day I got my family based petition approved. They come highly recommended and considered one of the best, if not the best in the immigration law business.

Exceptionally outstanding

Mr. Konare delivered outstanding services when my husband and I needed an immigration lawyer. He is highly educated, responsible and courteous. I highly recommend his services.

Expert in Immigration Law

I contracted with Konare Law because my child's mother wanted to take our child out of the country and her immigration status would keep her (and our son) from returning. So Mr. Konare was called as an expert witness. Wow! Mr. Konare speaks with expertise and experience. He knew the law as it pert...ained to the mother's country of origin. He knew what was required for her to get back into this country. And he knew that the Hague Convention was not followed by the mom's country of origin. Mr. Konare is very direct, which is good. He did his research and was straight up without wasting time or words. My custody attorney was even impressed with him. I think she will use his expertise in other cases.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
