Karina Yacub

Terrible service and unprofessional way of communicating with clients. I do not recommend this place unless you want to waste your money and see nothing be done. Ms. Yacub was about 40 minutes late from original meeting time and came in extremely rude and arrogant.

Ana, time to understand what happened. First and importantly, we were never hired. We provided as a courtesy a first consultation and you decided to go elsewhere. That's fine and I am glad you a working with an attorney. We received a late notice of your hearing. We called to let you know in case you were not aware. We acted to protect your interest even though you did not hire us. Instead of staying that we have a "horrible" staff, you should be thankful that even though we are not your lawyers , we decided to contact you about a hearing because we received the hearing notice.

Worst experience

La peor experiencia con estos ladrones , ellos te mienten con decirte que pueden ayudarte y ni saben de leyes de inmigración, tuve que soportar mucho estrés e invertir tiempo y dinero por varios meses para nada ya que al final me dijeron que no calificaba para mi petición por una razón muy obvia que ...ellos ya conocían desde un principio. Lo peor de todo esto fue lidiar con la actitud repugnante e irrespetuosa de la señora KARINA esposa del abogado Iván Yacub. Aparte no tienen buena comunicación con sus clientes al no reportarte nada con el avance de tu caso ni mucho menos responder tus llamadas o email,yo llege al punto de tener que ir a buscarlos a la oficina después de un día largo de trabajo . El día que fui por mi reembolso la señora Karina me sacó de la oficina casi a empujones a tal grado de cerrarme la puerta y golpearme. ellos me hicieron perder mucho dinero . Definitivamente no pierdan su tiempo ni dinero con estas personas que no tienen nada de profesionalismo. The worst experience with these thieves, they lie telling you that they can help you and they don't even know about immigration laws, I had to endure a lot of stress and invest time and money for several months for nothing because at the end they told me that I did not qualify for my petition for a very obvious reason that they already knew from the beginning. The worst of all this was dealing with the disgusting and disrespectful attitude of Mrs. KARINA, Iván Yacub wife. Besides, they do not have good communication with their clients by not reporting anything with the progress of your case, much less answering your calls or emails, I got to the point of having to go look for them at the office after a long day of work. The day I went to get my refund, Mrs. Karina almost pushed me out of the office to the point of shut the door on me and hitting me. they made me lose a lot of money. Definitely don't waste your time or money with these unprofessional people.

Best Law Offices in the DMV

This is a small Law Firm recommended to me and my family by various friends. They helped my family with several Immigration cases and my brother with a Criminal case. They are honest and professional. This little paragraph does not describe how amazing they are and how thankful I am for their service...s.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Maine.

Public Reprimand issued in VA, 2014
