Often, cases locked in administrative processing could remain pending for months, if not years. I have experience in forcing resolution through litigation in the US. District court, often through mandamus filings.

The BEST Lawyer EVER

For the past 18 years I have been trying to bring my wife the this country, I have hired several lawyers, most of them are Big names in the business, spend a lot of money and all of them failed. Finally I went to James Robert, he is kind, passionate, considerate, and very professional, and finally my... wife was able to come over and my family is finally complete. Mr. Robert did an amazing job that my dream finally came true. A Million Thanks to you!!!

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else

The first appointment, they will give you so many promises and make the situation sounds very easy. I remember when my sister had her first interview, they told us that the officer will go easy on teenagers so they didn’t train her much because the lawyer was out of town. In addition, they didn’t hav...e any evidence to support the case. Of course she got a rejection then her case went to the court. They asked for another $4000 and told us the same promises that they have their own way to make the case go faster. My sister started with them when she was 16 now she is 21 and she still doesn’t have any paperwork to go to school.

This Attorney Ruined my Case. Keep away!!

I was a customer of Mr. Roberts for several years. I had an asylum case. He just ruined my case by being careless and irresponsible. He did not prepare basic facts and documents for the case. When he was asked by the judge for these documents, he did not have any answers of why he did not have these ...documents in the file. In addition to this, he did not respect me as a client at all. The court's session was embarrassing because he and his assistants did not do their homework. His office was just a mess. Keep away and save your CASE, your DIGNITY, and your MONEY.
