A Professional and Friendly Experience

Alexander and his team are extremely professional and friendly, which gave us a lot of confidence going through the process of getting the permanent residency for my daughter. I have consulted with other offices before but did not feel at home going through this process with those offices—their focus... were too commercial based. Alexander’s office went methodologically through the paperwork with us, providing us all the necessary information to fill out the forms correctly, and effectively guided us through the application process. Their office was readily available to answer any question we had related to our application. The filing of our application was done expeditiously, and we have successfully obtained the permanent residency for our daughter in the time span indicated by Alexander from the beginning. Alexander and team, thank you for an efficient and great assistance!!!

Deportation proceedings.

I had a case dating back to 1996. I have gone through at least 5 different Lawyers. I thought they were all great until I acquired the services of Alex Miller. Not only is Mr Miller well versed in immigration Law, he is also extremely patient. He did a very thorough research not only on my case but o...n numerous cases that were similar to mine. Mr Miller does not sugar coat anything he lays it all out and then figures how to tackle the issue from all angles!

Coward & Greedy - Zero Stare

This lawyer charged me consulting fee, took my case, charged me for the case and just a week before my hearing told me that he cannot represent me because he thinks "we" don't have a strong case. He then did not return me my consultation fee and ignored my calls. He just wanted the money, did not r...esearch and looked into my case properly. For Immigration matters he is not mature and did not pay attention to details. While with another less experienced attorney , I filed my case and won easily. Not Recommended.

Dear Poster: I am not sure if I can adequately respond to this review since it has been posted anonymously, but I do not think this reflects an accurate portrait of any cases we have had. If you wish to contact our office directly to discuss further, please reach out and we can talk more about your concerns and how our firm handled your consultation. It is true that we charge for a consultation fee and - if we have the consultation - that fee is non-refundable. If after meeting with you, we have to decline to represent you, we do not offer a refund of that consultation fee. This is a standard practice as you are paying for my time and advice - not a guarantee of a result or that we will take your case. If you contacted our office to represent you on a very short timeline (a week or so before your immigration court hearing), it is possible that we were unable to undertake the representation based on the short timeline for your case. In US Immigration Court, documents and evidence are generally due 2 weeks prior to any Individual Hearing (called a witness and exhibit list). It is possible that we did not feel as though we could take on a case with such short notice due to the practical limitations that existed. Again, each case is unique, and we reserve the right to decline representation in cases where we feel the case either has no reasonable chance of success or due to time constraints that would prevent us from being able to competently assist you on short notice. If you succeeded on your case with another attorney, that is wonderful news, and I am glad you were able to complete your case on such short notice. However, deciding to decline representation is an important part of the attorney-client relationship and actually demonstrates that we put professionalism above making a quick dollar (by accepting any case that comes through our doors regardless of our time constraints or belief in success). I'm sorry you were left with such a bad experience, and I am sorry we declined to represent you, but I am happy to hear you succeeded in your case, and I wish you all the best.

Passport

I'm glad Alex was recommended to me. He was so helpful and made sure to provide me with a lot of options regarding my case. It was because of him that I was able to finally get my passport. If you have any Immigration problems, make sure to reach out to Alex because he will for sure be the best p...erson to solve them for you.

Good attorney.

Great service and good communication. I felt very safe and comfortable during my process with Mr. Miller. The people who work for him also are very polite and professional. I would recommend hiring him as a lawyer.
