Not professional at all

If I could give him zero stars I would. Full of himself, rude, not professional at all! Today My husband and I pay $150 for 15 minutes talk with him and he was not helpful at all. Did not greet back when my husband asking him about his day and completely ignored him and just looked at us with a strai...ght face. He didn't ask us why we were there for. He stayed silent until I started explaining our situation and when we told him that we've met somebody else before him and that we did some paperwork with them He said "oh you guys didn't trust me or wanted to pay little money" later he proceeded saying that we can file paperwork ourselves or that we can do it with him but it was gonna cost $4000. Money is not a problem for us my husband and I work really hard! At the end when we were leaving he did not say goodbye or at least say thank you for coming but one thing he did say to us was to go ahead straight and pay before leaving. We were so upset we drove one hour to go see him but it was a waste of time.!

Was not very good for my situation.

I have a family member in a very hard ongoing immigration situation, and we first used Orlando. He barely helped, he just said that for the immigration interview to answer everything, and if we messed up, that he's perfectly off the hook. He gave no contingency plan, no back up plans, no way to d...efend ourselves with the over aggressive immigration official Jeffrey Scott of Fairfax, VA who turned out to be the one who interviewed us. After a horrible interview, and a negative response from immigration, Orlando said that he can at most buy us 4 months before a deportation order. That was it. Again there was nothing convincing about things he said as he was short of any ideas at all. Long story short, we've came into contact with other lawyers who seem to have a better understanding of immigration law and seemed actually gave other possible solutions that we are currently going through that give more hope.
