Very dishonest, don't trust him

When we consulted this attorney, he told me that our case was "going to be very easy", because I am a U.S. citizen and is the rest of my family (with the exception of my husband of course). However, he only asked for one file, and hardly informed us about our case. Whenever we tried to contact him, h...e wouldn't answer. Finally, we told him that my husband had considered starting the asylum process with our previous lawyer. We didn't want to try for asylum because we knew how these cases were hard to prove. He still assured us that we should try for asylum and ignored our questions about there being another way. Then, he didn't ask us for any evidence to prove it, and ignored us when we asked him what evidence he needed. The day for my husband's interview with the judge came, and the judge obviously told him "no" for his request of asylum due to a lack of evidence and other reasons. That day he told us that in order for him to get his papers, he had to leave the country. He assured us it would only be for 5-6 months and then he could come back. Well, after that he once again never contacted us again, and we just received a document saying that it would be for over 10 years. So basically, as soon as he got the money, he ignored us and didn't care about our case.

It is unfortunate to hear your dissatisfaction with our service. As this review is anonymous, I can only confirm that my office and I never give guarantees on a case as every case is reviewed on a case-by-case basis with review of the merits, facts, and documents presented by the clients. My policy includes providing clients with all options for relief available to them given the information provided and based on my experience suggest the best option moving forward. This includes notifying them should any circumstances disqualify an individual from certain forms of relief. Ultimately, it is the client's decision on what form of relief to pursue and my duty to represent them to the best of my abilities. My staff and I take the preparation and filing of forms of relief seriously. This includes maintaining contact with clients to ensure all available evidence is provided for submission of a thorough case.

Very professional and loved to work with him.

We hired Mr Ahmad for legal services regarding my asylum case. My case was complicated, but by the grace of God, prayers and best efforts from Mr Ahmad, my case got approved. Highly recommend him for legal services regarding immigration matters. Will hire again if need to.
