SCAM ARTIST- BEWARE

She goes by several names, including Gee Evans, Glendia Evans, G Evans, Glendia Mondesir, Glendia Rice, Glendia Scott, etc. She isn't an attorney in all the states she proclaims to be. Is beyond rude and incompetent; you won't hear from her once she gets your money. Here is a document that shows how ...she lost her license several years ago: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/pages/attachments/2017/06/21/mondesirfinalorder.pdf You can find more if you Google her name Glendia Delanie Mondesir Rice

Total Waste of Money

I contacted this lawyer and paid all her money in full in advance. She did not respond a single call or email after that and my case was never resolved. I even lost my job. Her assistants are very rude and have zero knowledge

We are in the legal process of requesting from AVVO who posted anonymously here. We welcome reviews good or bad. However, we cannot accept fake reviews or reach back out to find out what happened; and we first need to verify if Glendia from our law firm is actually the correct lawyer. We work with clients at all times to ensure satisfaction; and remedy a poor experience.

She is the worst immigration lawyer I worked with.

She gave herself business a title as "The best immigration lawyer". However, I found out she is the worst immigration lawyer after I hired her. I was out of status for some reasons, because I am I-245i eligible, I do not need go back to my motherland, but I need go the immigration court. This is a ...very simple case; I also wrote a summarize statement about my case before I met her. I only need a lawyer to send the documentation to the court. During the first meet, she charged me $2,759.00, but after she charged the money, she did not care my case. She never replied to my emails and never answered my phone calls. I felt very frustrated and complained about the slow work, but she said I did not respect her. I waited for 5-6 months and finally, I saw her paperwork she mentioned that was filed to the court. The paperwork almost the same as my writing, but she missed the most important part that I am I-245i eligible. My family and I need the court decision critically, so I hired another immigration lawyer who only charged me $1,200. Less than 3 months, my case was granted by the immigration judge. It is more than 10 years over now; I never receive anything from her office. My experience told me that she has no professional knowledge and no professional ethics. To call her as a liar and a money maker is correct than to call he as a lawyer. Unfortunately, I did not know I can complain her to the related organization and get the refund within 3 years. I am writing here to tell people, please aware for this person. If you feel you are cheated, remember to sue her and get your refund within 3 years.

Anna is not a client of our law firm or Glendia, unless she used a fake name here. Due to strict professional confidentiality, lawyers are not allowed to explain or discuss a client's case in a public forum such as AVVO. If this is actually a client we would invite you to contact us so we can resolve and find out what went wrong. Thank you.

I see multiple posts about families who were also subject to this lady’s scam. She has multiple names, locations, businesses etc. She was barred in another state. She also has prior bankruptcies. There were multiple red flags from this lawyer from the beginning. She has also written my family num...erous nasty emails when we decided to let her go. She missed deadlines and file DOL paperwork incorrectly resulting in us not getting approved. Beware of this lawyer. Look at the reviews and do your research. Certainly would not recommend anyone giving her money up front as she failed to fulfill her promised services. We will be taking her to small claims court and filing a complaint with DC bar and Virginia.

Unfortunately, we cannot verify this was a client of our firm; and have begun the legal process of having AVVO provide who posted here. If this is an actual client we have a robust system for clients to contact us, as we want to resolve issues and problems with any of our attorneys. We believe this is a fake review in duplicate. Which has already been responded to here in AVVO. ____ Alternatively [ Public Notice]: This is not a client of our law firm. Kimberly Johnson was not married and did not have a husband when she contacted our law firm. A lawsuit has been filed against Kimberly Johnson for defamation. Glendia has never been disbarred. AVVO would have clearly disclosed anything so outragous. AVVO's due diligence shows Glendia in good standing and no disciplinary action in 27 years of practice. Yet Kimberly Johnson has trolled and harassed our attorney(s) for over 3 years. Seeking out new platforms and sites such as Yelp, which we don't participate. Even digging into Apple Podcasts to find every possible way to slander and defame Glendia. Malicious hateful and false information about someone crosses the line. Plus her posting of additional fake reviews are under investigation. We are grateful to have approximately 100 5 star client reviews for Glendia, and numerous immigration lawyer peer reviews on-line. While Glendia and our team can't please everyone, we want to at least try. Whether reviews are good or bad... we always welcome them. It keeps businesses and professionals accountable, and we are no exception. We will always reach out, if you are an actual client. Also, we will find out how we can improve; and at all times our attorneys are dedicated to improve client satisfaction. We are empathetic with Kimberly Johnson. However, she has dumped her personal challenges and difficulties all over the internet on public forums and used bullying, harassment, false facts to deal with her difficulties. This is unacceptable behavior. This is not normal, hence, for the first time a law suit is in process against this individual. We wish her the very best. NOTE: If you or someone you know is being trolled, harassed and stocked on line contact an attorney and the police. This is never okay.

I think she thinks that immigrants are stupid.

She wanted all the money before the work was done. I have a proof in written for the payment plan. As a u-visa candidate she wanted me to pay for the I-485 before even I got the approval of U-visa. When I asked about this she was like we don't guarantee the green card and if the payment is not made ,... the law firm (scottcclaw) withdraw my case. I was lied at first. I really needed justice for this.

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.
