Excellent immigration attorney
Mark Monaco has been our immigration attorney since 2008. So far, he has been successful with 2 out of 4 cases and I could not be more pleased with the type of service he provides and the level of commitment he has for his clients.

this lawyer will not be on your side
This lawyer's forte is to find the slightest difficulty in your case and blow it out of proportion in order to scare or discourage you from filing for a visa.

Waste of money
I have a simple immigration case and he gave no options for it. Pretty much told us he cannot help us. We spoke for about 10 minutes and he still charged us for a full consultation.

I am sorry that Monica was not happy with the results of our consultation. Unfortunately, I am not always able to tell clients what they want to hear. I never tell someone there is a legal solution to an immigration problem when in fact there is none. Nor will I agree to misrepresent facts on a client's application. In both cases I tell the client there is nothing I can do - I suspect one or the other is what happened with Monica. You do more good for someone by NOT filing something than by filing something you know will expose her to a danger of being deported. Also, most of my consultations last an hour or more; it is unlikely that I spent only ten minutes with anyone. But no matter how long a consultation lasts, I always tell clients before they come to the office how much we charge and that the price is the same whether we talk for ten minutes or two hours.
